| | 3. | | Public Art Subcommittee Report
Minutes note: New Work Fund
Ms. Morris said that the fund is still open due to receipt of many applications. The subcommittee was presented with a temporary event project called “Temporary Resurfacing” at its meeting today requesting about $8000 from the board. The event drew 500 attendees last year. Big expense is equipment. The subcommittee recommends awarding the project $2500 from the fund to cover artist honorarium. There will be 30 artists involved.
Ms. Morris moved approval, seconded by Mr. Flores, to award $2500 from the New Work Fund to the Temporary Resurfacing Project to cover artist honorarium. There were no objections. Ald. Murphy and Ms. Kosarzycki excused. Ald. Kovac, Ms. Garcia, and Ms. Cubias were absent.
Ms. Morris added that the subcommittee received a new proposal from the Riverworks Center regarding a project by local artists Tyanna Buieon the Beer Line Trail. The project will likely get some funding from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation and the City’s Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative. The proposal will be formally presented to the subcommittee at its next meeting. | | | |
