| | | | 3. Public Art Subcommittee Report
Minutes note: Vice Chair Morris, said that the subcommittee met with Brad Anthony Bernard, who submitted an application to restore the mural he had made at Victory Over Violence Park about 30 years ago. He reported that in the process of taking it down, he had to take it off the building because the building may be torn down. he's making it into separate two-sided panels. He is also dealing with the fact that some of panels had work by George Gist on the back of them. He is restoring George Gist's work as well.
Mr. Barnard will be working with Muneer Bauhauddeen to install these panels on Muneer's peace posts. So we had various questions about who would take care of this work and what other sources of funding they had available. They have a $5,000 grant from Joy Engine, which we can match. But the project is actually much bigger, including the condition of the park and who will be responsible for its maintenance, still in question. Brad said he is talking to the BIDs regarding what can go on in Victory Over Violence Park and whether they will look out for this piece. But after speaking with him today, he has involved quite a lot of people in this project. Brad and Muneer are going to be doing some community engagement with Clara Muhammad School where, as Brad reminded us, he started his teaching when he finished (MIAD) Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design many years ago.
The Public Arts Subcommittee has recommended that we allocate $5,000, from the Conservation Fund to the project to restore the mural in Victory Over Violence Park.
Chair Coggs asked where is the mural now. Mural is at MIAD, said vice Chair, Morris because it had to be taken down and cut into pieces to remove some of the areas that showed mold concern. Panels will be displayed separately throughout the park.
Chair Coggs said that it is her understanding that the building current owner is tax delinquent for several years; so the city is considering whether they take it back or not since it has been in the "DO NOT ACQUIRE LIST". The park is owned by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee.
Member Flores asked, if there had been any other awards or applications for conservation funds this calendar year. Ms. Morris said no that, this is the first one we have received, basically from an artist; reason why we were particularly interested in funding the project.
$25,000 was allotted to the public art fund from the 2024 budget that has not been touched, and there are some rollover funds from past years, but only $10,000 is allocated for the Conservation Fund.
Motion made by Ms. Morris to allocate $5,000 to the restoration of Brad Bernard Mural and Victory Over Violence Park, seconded by Mr. Flores. There were no objections.
Relative to the PAIR program, Ms. Svetic said that the artist-in-residence continues to move forward towards getting the car finished and everything set up with VISION Zero.
