CALL TO ORDER Chair Polumbus called the meeting to order at 9:33 a.m. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION None UNFINISHED BUSINESS Art Shows in City Hall Commissioner Lynch reported she continued to coordinate with resident artist Susan Cooper to plan her art show in City Hall. She indicated that she was working with City Clerk Gillespie to answer some of Ms. Cooper’s questions on the Art Show Application.

The motion passed unanimously. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3,2019 - 1 - CONSENT AGENDA Commissioner Warren removed Item 5a from the Consent Agenda. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA Commissioner Warren noted a correction to the last page of the draft minutes. Commissioner Hall moved, seconded by Commissioner Warren to approve the minutes as amended. The motion passed unanimously. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Permanent Sculpture for New City Hall Chair Polumbus indicated that Ms. Peterson had prepared questions for the Commission to use but the Commission could ask any questions they wanted of the artist. She also encouraged the public in the audience to provide questions to the Commission to ask. Kendall Peterson, ThereSquared LLC, explained the interviews were meant to be casual and to help the Commission understand the artists’ personalities and interest in the project. She suggested the Commission keep in mind the site and budget. She noted that if the Commission was not satisfied with any of the artists today, they would find other artists for consideration. She indicated there was no time limit on spending the funds so the Commission had time to be deliberate in their decision and be excited about their choice. She noted the Commission should not be worried about Andy Dufford and Madeline Wiener pulling out as they were both busy and that was part of the reality of the situation, but encouraged the Commission to keep those artists in mind for future projects. She suggested the Commissioners ask the interview questions and noted that she would conclude the interviews and follow up with the artists afterwards. Commissioner Warren asked if Tyler Stinson was the only artist who had been to City Hall in person. Ms. Peterson confirmed that was correct but she had sent photos of the site to the other artists. Chair Polumbus asked if all three artists were aware of the budget. Ms. Peterson confirmed that they were. She asked staff if landscaping for the area was included in the budget. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 2 - Director Sager replied that it was not at this time, but staff could discuss it with Deputy City Manager/Director Goldie to see if it could be included. Vice Chair Schmidt noted Mr. Stinson had suggested potted plants to soften the space. Chair Polumbus indicated Deputy City Manager/Director Goldie had been receptive to the Commission’s requests for landscaping in the past. Troy Houldin Ms. Peterson asked where Mr. Houldin was based. Mr. Houldin explained he lived in Denver and worked in Boulder in the same studio as Madeline Wiener. Commissioner Lynch asked Mr. Houldin to tell the Commission about himself and what inspired his sculpture. Mr. Houldin replied he had been making things since he could remember; took art classes as a kid; studied sculpture in college; used art to clear out the cobwebs in his brain; had worked with many different mediums and now worked primarily with stone; was drawn to urban landscapes, architectural designs, the aesthetic of cityscapes, as well as the human form; was creating increasingly large works with stone; and was drawn to the permanency of stone. Ms. Peterson asked what types of stone besides marble he worked with. Mr. Houldin replied he also worked with Dolomitic limestone which was tannish beige with a tiger stripe pattern. He noted that marble was very sensitive and limestone was often better for a public space. Commissioner Asarch asked if Mr. Houldin did a lot of public commissions; what was different about those commissions versus private ones; and what the reaction to the public installations had been. Mr. Houldin replied he was just starting to move into public commissions and so far had worked mostly with private commissions on a smaller scale. He noted that he had received good feedback at the Loveland Sculpture Show which was a bit surprising to him because his pieces were abstract rather than realistic. Chair Polumbus asked what the largest size sculpture he had made was. Mr. Houldin replied that he had made a piece that was between five and six feet tall. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 3 - Commissioner Warren asked if Mr. Houldin had visited Cherry Hills Village and what he knew about the community that might inspired him to create a certain type of sculpture. Mr. Houldin replied he was a recent transplant to the Denver area and had not been to Cherry Hills Village. He noted from his research the City seemed to be a nice, smaller subpocket of Denver. He indicated the civic nature of the site at City Hall spoke to him and he had a lot of ideas regarding the activities and functions in a civic center. He added he had looked at the photos of City Hall from Ms. Peterson quite a bit and really liked the aesthetic of the contemporary building. Chair Polumbus asked about his ideas. Mr. Houldin replied he envisioned a cluster of five tall, slender totemic figure pillars staged together of varying heights and sizes, representing all the entities that had to come together to make a town work; all the people in a town coming together; and the different people of the world. Chair Polumbus asked about the base. Mr. Houldin replied the base would likely be made of cement to support the stone. He noted the base had a low profile and was not the focal point, and that cement could be made very attractive. He added his pieces were not completely symmetrical but had an organic flow. Ms. Peterson asked if the pieces were reinforced through the center. Mr. Houldin explained he made a hole in the base and into the center of the sculpture and connected them with a pin. He added the sculpture would also be glued to the base. Vice Chair Schmidt asked if Mr. Houldin would feel comfortable creating a sculpture taller than six feet. Mr. Houldin confirmed he would plan to create some of the pieces in the group to be eight to ten feet tall in order to rise above the window line and hold the visual space. He added most of the figures would be over six feet tall. Vice Chair Schmidt asked about the maintenance of limestone. Mr. Houldin replied limestone had very low maintenance requirements. Vice Chair Schmidt asked if Mr. Houldin had a limestone piece locally. Mr. Houldin replied that he could send an image of one. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3,2019 -4- Commissioner Hall asked Mr. Houldin how much time he would need to prepare a sculpture for the site. Mr. Houldin replied he would need about two months to get the stone from Canada, create the pieces, and install them on site. Chair Polumbus asked how wide a ten foot high sculpture would be. Mr. Houldin replied a ten foot tall sculpture would be two and a half to three feet wide with multiple pins for stability. Chair Polumbus asked where he grew up. Mr. Houldin replied he grew up in Pennsylvania and lived in the Caribbean for the last six years before moving to Denver. Commissioner Warren noted that the piece seemed figural to her and asked if the cluster of figures could represent a family. Mr. Houldin replied that they could represent a family or a community. Ms. Peterson thanked Mr. Houldin for the interview and explained the timeline for the art selection process. The interview ended. Gilberto Romero Commissioner Hall asked Mr. Romero to tell the Commission about himself and what inspired his sculpture. Mr. Romero explained that he was born and raised in Santa Fe; had made art since he was a kid; sold art at a market as a kid; worked at a foundry in high school and fell in love with bronze. He indicated he was inspired by nature, was an outdoorsman, was inspired by the shapes and will to live found in nature. He explained his work was a contemporary reflection of nature. He noted his pieces were fabricated from sheet bronze rather than casts and all the work was done in his studio. Vice Chair Schmidt asked about the reaction to Mr. Romero’s public installations. Mr. Romero replied he had five or six commissions in various states and the reaction had been wonderful. He stated the art invited engagement with its free flowing lines. He noted that many of his pieces turned but he would leave out that feature if a lot of children would be near it for safety concerns. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 5 - Vice Chair Schmidt asked about the lighter color in one of the photos Mr. Romero had submitted. Mr. Romero explained that piece was still in progress and had not had the patina applied yet. He noted the various photos showed the different sizes and prices of sculptures. He indicated that once the patina was applied the pieces did wonderfully outside with regular waxing. He explained the larger pieces had a stainless steel structure inside of them for stability. Ms. Peterson asked how large a piece could be commissioned for $40,000. Mr. Romero replied all the pieces were unique because they were all fabricated but probably a nine foot tall piece with a larger base would be within the Commission’s budget. Vice Chair Schmidt noted the lighter patina finishing would contrast nicely with the building. Mr. Romero agreed and noted there were plenty of options for finishing. Chair Polumbus asked where Mr. Romero had pieces in Colorado. Mr. Romero replied he had pieces in Broomfield and Loveland. He noted that the permanent piece at Benson Park had a larger base. Chair Polumbus asked about his pieces with a stone base. Mr. Romero replied he loved working with stone and mixing medias. He noted that stone was a great way to increase the height of the sculpture. Commissioner Warren asked Mr. Romero how much time he would need to prepare a sculpture for the site. Mr. Romero replied that commission time depended on the piece but was an average of six months. Ms. Peterson asked about Mr. Romero’s studio in Santa Fe. Mr. Romero replied he had two full time employees and his son worked with him as well. He explained they were all trained in the entire process and made a wonderful team. Commissioner Asarch asked Mr. Romero’s opinion on adding landscaping to the site along with a sculpture. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 6 - Mr. Romero replied he believed less was better and noted that too much landscaping could take away from a sculpture. He stated he always recommended placing the sculpture first and then determining if landscaping was needed. Commissioner Lynch asked if Mr. Romero had been to Cherry Hills Village and what he knew about the community. Mr. Romero replied he had been to Cherry Hills Village several times for private installations and that it was a beautiful and well kept up community and a wonderful escape from the city. He noted he thought his work was well sited on the larger lots in Cherry Hills Village and explained that his work tended to bring nature into the home. Commissioner Hall asked about the durability of the pieces. Mr. Romero explained he worked with eight inch thick sheet silicone bronze and the piece would need to be waxed once or twice a year. He noted it was a simple process and he had created a video explaining how to do it. He indicated he had lots of clients in Colorado and that hail should not be an issue. Commissioner Hall asked Mr. Romero to send images of some of his pieces that mixed bronze and stone. Mr. Romero confirmed he would. He asked if the site was concrete now. Ms. Peterson replied she was not sure if there was concrete or earth below the crusher fine on the site but that they would be sure to go over all the engineering involved in installation with the selected artist. Mr. Romero noted that he did the installations himself and had all the equipment necessary. Ms. Peterson asked how much Mr. Romero’s pieces weighed. Mr. Romero replied the sculptures weighed about 300 pounds and the bases weighed about 250 pounds. He noted fabricated pieces had a consistent thickness which made them lighter than cast bronze. Ms. Peterson thanked Mr. Romero for the interview and explained the timeline for the art selection process. The interview ended. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 -7- General Discussion Commissioner Hall noted she owned an eight foot tall bronze Romero piece and that he was a lovely person. She added that Commissioner Finger had a couple of larger Romero pieces that moved. Chair Polumbus indicated it would be nice to have the piece move. She reported that Council’s feedback at the October 2, 2019 meeting was that Councilor Gallagher and Mayor Stewart preferred a Colorado artist, Councilor Sheldon had suggested incorporating the letters “CHV”, and Councilor Safavi had suggested incorporating cherries into the piece. She asked Commissioner Hall to keep Councilor Gallagher appraised of the process. She added that Council had not seemed very interested in the selection process or the piece. Ms. Peterson suggested that response indicated Council’s trust in the Commission’s judgement. Alice Abrams, 105 Meade Lane, noted that Council typically deferred to the wisdom of the commissions. She indicated Council was not indifferent, they just didn’t know what to say. She suggested one of the Romero pieces could be interpreted to be an abstract cherry. Chair Polumbus suggested the Commission should look at more representational artists before making a final decision. She also indicated it was important to Council that the artist be local. She stated she had heard from residents who wanted a figural piece and she felt the Commission had not given that type of art enough consideration. Commissioner Lynch noted a news story about an elk sculpture that had been vandalized many times. She indicated the sculpture was somewhat abstract and a similar piece might work. Ms. Peterson replied that sculpture was in Colorado Springs and the artist was from Korea. She asked if City Council had indicated they wanted a more figu rat piece. Chair Polum bus replied they had not but that she had heard that from other residents, for example on the Cherry Hills Land Preserve Trail Walk. She indicated she didn’t think the Commission had explored the idea of representational pieces enough. Ms. Peterson noted the artists being interviewed today were abstract but with natural forms. Janet Sachs, 3800 S. Albion Street, noted that Rubric was purely abstract, Charlo was representational but not purely figurative, and it would be nice for a Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3,2019 - 8 - third piece in the Village Center campus to be purely figurative to have all three types of sculpture represented. Vice Chair Schmidt indicated that new homes being built in the Village tended towards contemporary, the City Hall building was contemporary, and he believed a contemporary piece would fit well. He suggested there were better opportunities to site realistic pieces in John Meade Park and Alan Hutto Memorial Commons where a sculpture of animals could be integrated into their habitat. Commissioner Asarch stated the City Hall piece should be civic in nature and bring people to feel a sense of civic engagement. She indicated she was not clear on the Commission’s mission and suggested forming a mission statement to help guide the art selection process. Commissioner Hall agreed that a mission statement would be helpful, and the Commission could explore representational pieces to give them a fair chance but should narrow the search as the Village Center already had a horse and wild animals would not be appropriate. She suggested that abstract birds might work and noted that Mr. Romero had a piece with birds. Chair Polumbus noted there was a large beautiful bronze sculpture of cranes at Cherry Creek mall. She added an artist Commissioner Hall had shown her was very interesting. Commissioner Asarch indicated the Commission was not done with the research and was not ready to make a decision. She stated that this was a great beginning and these were wonderful artists but the Commission needed a broader base of artists to be confident in the process. Chair Polumbus added everyone she had met loved Really and she thought that was because it was humorous, and she would like to find that emotion for the permanent sculpture. She agreed the artists today were terrific. Ms. Abrams noted representational art was not complex and easy to enjoy, whereas abstract art invited the viewer’s input and was more perplexing, emotional and thoughtful. Commissioner Warren asked Commissioner Hall to send photos of the artwork she had shown Chair Polumbus. Commissioner Hall noted that artist was Julian Voss-Andreae and he was German and worked out of Portland, Oregon. Ms. Peterson asked the Commission to decide if they were looking at only Colorado artists, only regional artists, or no restriction. She explained at some point the Commission needed to commit to criteria and a piece and have a Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 9 - narrative to explain the process they went through and why they chose the particular piece. She suggested that the Commission felt overwhelmed at this point and needed to stick to the criteria that they agreed upon. Chair Polumbus noted Mr. Houldin was the only Colorado artist being interviewed today. Commissioner Asarch added Mr. Romero was regional. She indicated she did not have a clear mission in mind. She noted that she did not feel that the artists today were exciting to the Commission. Vice Chair Schmidt replied that Mr. Romero’s piece could be retitled The Bronze Cherry and the process could be complete. Ms. Peterson cautioned that the Commission hadn’t had a thorough discussion about today’s artists yet. She noted that with Mr. Stinson the Commission would be choosing from existing pieces. Vice Chair Schmidt explained Mr. Stinson had offered to create a commissioned piece for the Commission with stainless steel to contrast with the building. He noted Mr. Stinson might not be willing to wait a long time for the commission to be approved. Tyler Stinson Commissioner Lynch asked Mr. Stinson to tell the Commission about himself and what inspired his sculpture. Mr. Stinson replied he had attended art shows and made metal artwork as a kid. He stated he was motivated by the interaction people had with his work and having his work benefit people after he was done. He noted he put a lot of thought into the purpose of the work as he created it. Commissioner Asarch asked if Mr. Stinson did a lot of public commissions; what was different about these commissions versus private ones; and what the reaction to the public installations had been. Mr. Stinson replied his public pieces were larger than the private pieces, and he had been thrilled with the reaction to the public pieces. He noted the space where his pieces went were someone’s home or work and it was a compliment to have his piece change the space and how people interacted with it. He indicated the pieces were often placed at the entrance to someplace with a lot of foot traffic and he enjoyed helping to influence and set the tone for the space and capturing why people were coming in. He explained he hoped his pieces had a sense of balance, peace, contentment, equilibrium and made people feel good. He stated he was happy to provide references. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 10 - Commissioner Warren asked if Mr. Stinson had spent any time in Cherry Hills Village and what inspired them about this community. Mr. Stinson replied he had pieces in Denver and Superior but had not spent much time in Cherry Hills Village besides his recent visit on his way through Denver. He stated he loved the mountains and the Front Range was a great place to start a journey. Chair Polumbus asked Mr. Stinson to tell the Commission about his ideas of the type of work they might propose for the site. Mr. Stinson replied he did not have a finite plan but would focus on the feeling that he wanted from the final piece. He noted that each of his pieces created a different sensation and his goal was to create a work that complimented, augmented and appreciated the space. Vice Chair Schmidt noted the Commission’s timeline would likely be several months if not longer before a final decision was made and asked if Mr. Stinson would still be available to do a stainless steel commission on that longer tim ef ram e. Mr. Stinson replied he was not sure and that he was taking time off from creating art and travelling to art shows to concentrate on races and quality time at home. He asked what the hurdles were. Chair Polumbus explained she believed the Commission needed to investigate more figurative and realistic pieces because although the Commission leaned toward abstract art, she was not sure they had done enough research to properly consider figurative work that other members of the community might prefer. Ms. Peterson explained that this was the first time the Commission was selecting a public commission and they were striving to be good stewards of the taxpayers’ dollars, so it could be a lengthy process. Mr. Stinson agreed the Commission needed to take the appropriate time to make sure their selection was right for them. Commissioner Hall asked where Mr. Stinson made his art. Mr. Stinson replied that his studio was in Pennsylvania and he spent some time in Arizona as well. Commissioner Hall asked about maintenance for Mr. Stinson’s pieces. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 -11- Mr. Stinson replied his pieces needed regular but minimal maintenance. He noted he had several pieces along the coastline and had no complaints. Ms. Peterson asked if Mr. Stinson would provide an existing piece to the Commission or create a new piece. Mr. Stinson replied he would be looking for homes for his current pieces but indicated that he was planning to keep a stainless steel eight foot tall piece and could sell that piece to the Commission. He offered to temporarily install the piece at City Hall so the Commission could see if they liked it. He added he could create a new piece if it was something they could schedule sooner rather than later. Ms. Peterson thanked Mr. Stinson for the interview. The interview ended. General Discuss/on Commissioner Warren asked how tall the piece was and how tall the window was. Vice Chair Schmidt replied that the piece Mr. Stinson was offering was eight feet tall and he had discussed that a ten foot tall piece would be ideal to break the plane of the window. Ms. Peterson noted that a different base would be needed, but indicated placing a piece at City Hall that was not the final piece might confuse people. Commissioner Lynch stated she liked Mr. Houldin’s work the best and thought the five pieces would break up the space nicely. She noted he lived in Denver but had not visited the space. Ms. Peterson replied that it was not expected at this stage of the process for artists to visit the site. Commissioner Lynch indicated she had liked Mr. Romero’s familiarity with the City and had liked his pieces. She appreciated Ms. Abrams’ suggestion of an abstract cherry and that might help people who were not as comfortable with abstract art. She noted Mr. Stinson would be very engaging for an artist talk but she did not love the piece that he had offered. Commissioner Asarch suggested that a mission statement include a regional artist who understood the aesthetics of the area, the civic nature of the site, the possibilities and challenges of the site, art should elevate the thinking about where we live and the functions of our democracy. She indicated that Mr. Houldin Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 12 - was a young artist and was just beginning to understand what that was but had a lot of passion and would be willing to work with the Commission; his totem figures were interesting and might bring in some of the structure and representative nature of what the Village meant, but that maybe they needed to be more massive. She stated Mr. Romero understood his materials, had said that he wanted a contemporary perspective to nature based information, and his pieces were massive and lyrical. She indicated Mr. Stinson had said he put his creative energy into benefiting people and it was more important to get a response from the people than to do the creative work, and she noted he had a true sense of what public art was. She indicated that it was hard for her to draw conclusions without seeing the pieces in person. Commissioner Warren stated she had been surprised and elevated by Mr. Houldin’s idea of clustering a group of pieces, and she liked that his pieces could be seen as human figures. She felt Mr. Romero was authentic in his thinking, words and how he viewed nature; his work was very southwestern; and she appreciated his view that less was more. She noted that Mr. Stinson was a salesman, enthusiastic, honest and talented but she was concerned with the pointed edges of the piece he presented. Chair Polumbus indicated she had liked Mr. Houldin’s ideas and was impressed with his affiliation with Madeline and Josh Wiener. She noted he had passion and new and exciting ideas, and she liked that he lived in Colorado. She stated that she liked that Mr. Romero was regional and liked his work and especially liked his pieces on stone bases. She suggested the Commission could rule out Mr. Stinson as he was neither from Colorado nor regional. Vice Chair Schmidt stated he was not a fan of white marble and would like to see an example of the limestone that Mr. Houldin had mentioned. Ms. Peterson explained the limestone was very warm and tactile. She noted she would be sure to get a picture to the Commission. Vice Chair Schmidt indicated he liked Mr. Romero’s work and loved that one of the pieces could be an abstract cherry. He stated he loved Mr. Stinson’s work, although he did not particularly like the piece that he had offered. He indicated that in his opinion all three artists were in the running. Commissioner Hall agreed all the artists were strong. She agreed that she liked Mr. Houldin’s cluster idea, she would like to see more of Mr. Romero’s mixed media works, and she did not like Mr. Stinson’s works as much. She stated she was not ready to make a decision. Ms. Peterson indicated that she was not hearing agreement on Mr. Stinson but it seemed that the Commission liked Mr. Houldin and Mr. Romero. She stated both Mr. Houldin and Mr. Romero would be wonderful choices because their materials Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 13 - were natural and provided contrast with the building as the Commission had wanted. She noted Mr. Houldin had made a direct comment about the purpose of City Hall, and that the Commission would get a lot of artwork for their budget with the five totems. She indicated Mr. Romero’s piece could be an abstract cherry, but was a natural form and based on something he had seen in nature. She added his pieces were lyrical and would provide a nice contrast to the building. She noted the Commission might not get the size piece that they wanted for their budget with Mr. Romero because bronze was more expensive than other materials. Ms. Abrams noted resident Bob Barnett had stated that the community was generous and there might be more funds available if the Commission asked for donations. She agreed with the idea of having a mission statement. She noted that most visitors to City Hall were serious and sometimes negative and confrontational. She suggested having a piece that was welcoming, friendly and perhaps humorous would possibly help people feel better as they entered the building. She noted the Commission could ask Mr. Romero to add red and green to his abstract cherries sculpture. Pat Nelson, 2671 E. Stanford Drive, suggested the Commission could do a request for proposals. Ms. Peterson explained the Commission had taken a suggestion from the public to attend the Loveland Art Show. She noted an REP/REQ would be a more rigorous and formal process. Ms. Nelson agreed with Ms. Abrams that the piece should be welcoming. Commissioner Warren suggested sending a survey to the residents to determine their preference for the type of sculpture. Ms. Peterson replied a survey would confuse the Commission further. She noted the Commission was feeling nervous and possibly overestimating public reaction. She indicated the purpose of the piece was to be conversational and she reminded the Commission of the positive reactions they had received about their sculpture-on-loan pieces. She stated the Commission had been appointed to make these decisions and they had three members of the public here now. Chair Polumbus suggested the Commission explore other artists and noted she had heard that the best artists do not go to the Loveland Sculpture Show. Ms. Peterson replied she wasn’t sure where the information was coming from but that the artists the Commission had just interviewed were excellent. Commissioner Asarch noted the REP/REQ process could be very expensive. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 14 - Ms. Peterson replied that it cost about $500 to use the Call For Entries (CaFE) system, and then it was typical to pay artists $500-$1 ,500 each to conduct a site visit and put together a detailed proposal for the Commission. She indicated that many great artists did not use CaFE because they received direct commissions and did not need to compete with other artists. City Clerk Gillespie noted that Ms. Peterson had brought many artists to the Commission for consideration over the past several years as part of the sculpture-on-loan process and staff would put together a list of those artists so the Commission could see everyone they had already considered. Ms. Peterson requested that the Commission provide clear direction to her in order to move forward. Chair Polumbus replied she was not opposed to Mr. Houldin or Mr. Romero but there were realistic artists that the Commission had not considered. Ms. Sachs advised the Commission not to underestimate themselves and noted the professional expertise of the Commissioners. She agreed that a mission statement would be helpful and that the emotion of the piece should be “wow”. She noted that she like Mr. Houldin’s pieces but was not sure they provided the emotional “wow”. She added that Mr. Romero was a proven artist. Ms. Peterson left at 12:15 p.m. Art Display Policy Chair Polumbus moved this item to the next meeting. 2020 Proposed BudQet Chair Polumbus questioned budgeting for another video. Cherry Hills Land Preserve Trail Walk Commissioner Lynch asked the Commission if they would like to include funds for art supplies for the Cherry Hills Land Preserve Trail Walk next year. Commissioner Hall replied it was a great event that provided wonderlul opportunity to connect with the community. Commissioner Lynch agreed but suggested that since they didn’t know if the small canvasses were ever used, the CHVAC table could have a collage or something similar next year instead. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 15 - Author Event Commissioner Lynch reported she continued to coordinate with former mayor Laura Christman on the first Author Event but it would likely not occur until next year. Snow Plow Painting Program Commissioner Warren reported the annual snow plow painting program was in progress and that Cherry Hills Village Elementary School and Kent Denver were participating this year. Butterfield Plague and Wolford Painting Chair Polumbus reported Commissioner Warren had found some possible locations for the Butterfield donor plaque. She noted Kent Denver had a similar plaque on a brick wall. She asked the Commission to consider the options. NEW BUSINESS None REPORTS Public Art Commission Chair Village Crier Director Sager indicated the Peter Roosevelt art show was scheduled for the next issue of the Crier and the snow plows would also be in the next issue if they were ready in time. Chair Polumbus explained that Midge Roosevelt had requested the advertisement for Mr. Roosevelt’s art show in the Crier with the CHVAC logo. Next Meeting The next Art Commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 28, 2019. Members of the Public Art Commission City Staff Financial Report Included in the packet. Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 16- ADJOURNMENT There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 12:23 p.m. Ann Polumbus, Commission Chairperson Jessica Sager, Director of Finance Laura Gillespie, City Clerk Cherry Hills Village Art Commission October 3, 2019 - 17 -  CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE COLORADO 2450 E. Quincy Avenue Village Center Cherry Hills Village, CO 80113 Telephone 303-789-2541 www.cherryhillsvillage.com FAX 303-761-9386 ITEM: 7a MEMORANDUM TO: THE CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE ART COMMISSION FROM: LAURA GILLESPIE, CITY CLERK SUBJECT: PERMANENT SCULPTURE FOR THE NEW CITY HALL DATE: OCTOBER 28, 2019 ISSUE Selection of a permanent sculpture for the new City Hall. DISCUSSION Public Input & Notification Staff spoke with the City Attorney and determined the resolution establishing the Cherry Hills Village Art Commission prevents the Commission from creating an Advisory Committee to discuss art selections for the new City Hall. The Commission can invite select members to regularly scheduled meetings for their input, rather than create an advisory committee. Chair Polumbus has personally invited various members of the public. In addition, staff has created a separate email notification list that the public can sign up for on the city website. Staff will continue to email information about Commission meetings and the selection process through this notification list. Mission Statement The Commission has discussed the following things to keep in mind: • the rural nature of the Village • complimenting the location and the architecture of City Hall • the Deborah Butterfield sculpture nearby • a balance between representational and contemporary art • inclusion of local artists in the process • the importance of families and children • complimenting and contrasting with the building • rounded and inviting shapes • inviting safe interaction especially from children • something that was appropriate for the height of the space Commissioner Asarch and Chair Polumbus have formed the following Mission Statement: Select a talented regional artist. The piece should engage and inspire through the transformative power of art. The piece should be • Welcoming and reflect the civic nature of the City Hall • Evoke thoughtfulness, curiosity, and Wow Permanent Sculpture The plans for the new City Hall include a permanent sculpture in front of the building. Kendall Peterson put together an art selection process that was presented to City Council at the joint study session with the Commission on June 4, 2019. At the June 24, 2019 CHVAC meeting the Commission decided to rate art at the Loveland Sculpture Show and return to discuss preferred artists, types of sculpture, and methods of solicitation. At the August 26, 2019 meeting the Commission discussed their experiences at the Loveland Art Show and identified artists that they liked. Ms. Peterson set up phone interviews for the next meeting. During the October 3, 2019 meeting the Commission interviewed Troy Houldin, Gilberto Romero, and Tyler Stinson. Follow-up photos from Mr. Houldin and Mr. Romero are included as Exhibits A and B. After the interviews were concluded and the Commission discussed the interviewees’ answers to the various questions that were posed during the interview, some Commission members expressed concern that not all types of art had been explored and it would be remiss of the Commission to make a final decision without viewing pieces from those styles. Ms. Peterson advised the Commission she has provided examples of varying styles for the sculpture-on-loan process as well as at the beginning stages for the permanent piece project. Staff volunteered to consolidate all the artists that Ms. Peterson has provided into one document (Exhibit C) to assist with the selection process. Ms. Peterson has brought 42 artists to the Commission during the processes for the 2018 and 2019 sculpture-on-loan program and the current process for a permanent sculpture. Budget At the May 21, 2019 City Council meeting, Council approved a budget up to 845,000 for permanent art for the new City Hall. Chair Polumbus would also like to discuss utilizing some or all of the Art Donation Account towards the commission of a permanent sculpture. NEXT STEPS Staff and Ms. Peterson are seeking direction from the Commission on the following items: • Mission statement for the permanent sculpture selection process  • Increasing the budget for the permanent sculpture by utilizing some or all of the Art Donation Account staff would recommend that the Commission update City Council if — this is the case • What aspects are the Commission looking for in artists/art that Ms. Peterson has not already presented to the Commission for consideration? RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: “I move to approve the following mission statement for the permanent sculpture selection process: “I move to utilize no more than$____________ from the Art Donation Account in addition to the $45,000 approved by City Council for the permanent sculpture for City Hall.” ATTACHMENTS Exhibit A: Troy Houldin Exhibit B: Gilberto Romero Exhibit C: CHVAC Artist Sample List 3  EXHIBIT A Troy Houldin  EXhIBiT B Gilberto Romero I V  EXHIBIT C Cherry Hills Village Art Commission Artist List 1.
