ART FUND REPORT
A.
Continued Budget Discussion for 2022-23 Fiscal Year
Installed: MARE & FOAL on back pad area at Hopper Creek Park.
Installed: DANCING BUTTERFLIES at Yount & Washington on March 4.
Sculpture Moves: TREBLE CLEF from Petit Logis to Hopper Creek Park front pad & BUILDING UP from Yount & Washington to Petit Logis. We will connect power to light up the sculpture.
Cleaning of Sculptures: Our sculptures are filthy. They are really in dire need of regular cleaning. Road and atmospheric dust/dirt and weather affect them and though we think rain washes them, the rain only creates a residue that dulls the sculptures. The At Walk is being continually promoted and it garners much attention. Our Art Walk Committee would like to establish regular cleaning and/or power washing of all sculptures on our Art Walk. A quarterly cleaning calendar is reasonable. In our FY 2021-2022 budget we have $1100 left so we recommend using the funds currently in the budget to begin the cleaning program ASAP. To be explored further with Sam.
Activate electricity at YELLOW SPHERE location at Mulberry & Washington. The power is there but needs to be evaluated for damage. (Staff has reached out to Vintage Estates and are awaiting a response)
We need new Art Calls for Art Walk sculpture applications
