Attend tonight to propose a public art project in Ann Arbor. https://www.picklestreetmuralcoop.org/ Desire to help build Community that will make Ann Arbor more colorful. Puts in to question "what does it mean to paint in an ordinary space?" such as a grocery store and what it means to see the grocery store with the beauty of something people would normally not give attention to or see, like a beautiful landscape, or something that is more traditional. Proposed Design Areas; Design Area One - Broadway Bridge Walkway. One that's like simultaneously a big three way for a lot of walkers bikers runners and also one that's like not very high profile just in terms of its visibility.One that's like simultaneously a big three way for a lot of walkers bikers runners and also one that's like not very high profile just in terms of its visibility. Design Srea Two - Argo Pond Trail Tunnel. One day, while we were walking or running through it we imagined it each panel a different color and so it's like this rainbow tunnel of color and thinking about how much our inner child would love that. Design Area Three - Broadway and Division Underpass. And we could yeah we could envision another more simplistic column for design. They also even work with city members, maybe, set up a booth out at the farmers market and crowd source words and work with like the Community for words in that sort of way. We have like a good amount of funding that simply like we both did this in college like Aaron was an amazing artist and I was doing this mural painting and our families are supportive our friends, we live in lower burns park. Our experience we have found that, including the public in the process, the selection City of Ann Arbor Page 1 Printed on 2/16/2021 9:09:05AM Ann Arbor Public Art Commission Meeting Agenda February 3, 2021 process has. The next steps would be to prepare a project proposal for the commission to review. Staff will share proposal guideline as a template; include timeline, funding, budget, materials, row access, insurance, etc. color again that, like doesn't necessarily always convey a message, but a lot of the time, just like let people become excited and welcomed into a space also yeah it's kind of combining this like this color and everything with forgotten about spaces. Glen W - WTP Presentation - Glen shares a backgroud on idea of work to be performed. Project at WTP for possible stairewell work . Secured facility and the stairwell from ground floor up to the second floor and we are undergoing some fairly sizable renovations at the water plant right now on in we're going to continue to do so over the next few years. We envision using this part of the story that we're telling and that leads to the upstairs where we're going to have further historical.photographs of the construction of the water plant just really telling the whole story, because the history, the history is quite impressive you know it's well documented way back from the early 30s and much of that still exists today.Earlier days when it was a private water company prior I don't remember off the top of my head clan, but it was the turn of the 18th to the 19th century, if I remember correctly.When the water system was first formed so there's quite a bit of history there. One year to go and without compromise we finish and work with commission to complete the mural. Additional staff conversations re funding, timelines, etc still need to take place. Planning and timeline needs to be established. not tied to the architectural renovations this project not driven in this manner. 21-0216 Ann Arbor Public Art Commission Meeting Minutes - December 2020 Retreat Attachments: AAPAC Meeting Minutes - Dec 2020.pdf 21-0217 Ann Arbor Public Art Commission Meeting Minutes - January 2021 Attachments: AAPAC Meeting Minutes - Jan 2021.pdf OLD BUSINESS NEW BUSINESS REPORT FROM STAFF Allen Creek Berm Project Update City Flag Project Update from Mayor Taylor AAPAC Project Folder Update - Commissioners will receive a link from IT to access Work Group folders only with access to editing and updates.
