a. Spring Event - "Resilience" series and Art Show
Manager Black updated the Commission that the event map has been created by Commissioner Ortiz
Hill. The updated version was passed around for the Commission to review and they decided on 1 l x l 7
for the size and an order of100 maps. Commissioner Patteson asked ifthe stamped images fit in the
stamp areas ofthe map and Commissioner Ortiz-Hill replied that they should; he also suggested
ordering custom stamps. The commission decided to use what had already been purchased for this
event. Commissioner Fedorowicz asked ifthere were Art Commission magnets left over and suggested
they be handed out as a prize for completing the map. Manager Black replied that there were some
magnets left over and went over the prizes that had already been purchased; she asked the Commission
for approval to purchase the flower seed packets and the Commission approved.

tablecloths in three different colors, and large light up letters. The Commission discussed the list and
agreed on purchasing the items, adding to the list brown craft paper rolls for picnic table runners.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill asked about the information that was going to be displayed on tables and the
QR code that had been discussed. Manger Black explained that the Art Commission's page on the
website had the sculptures information available; she mentioned that QR codes have become a bit risky
to use, as the free sites sometimes redirect users for their own purposes; she suggested printing
something with the Art Commission website address for the tables. The Commission discussed what
should be on the tables and decided on having a photo of artist Joe Norman with a thank you to
attendees for supporting the Resilience sculptures, brief descriptions of each sculpture from the artist
and a donation ask with link on the other side, mentioning that donations of $100.00 or more will be
recognized on the donor plaque. Manager Black will email the sculpture descriptions from artist Joe
Norman to Commissioner Ortiz-Hill so he can design the informational table displays.
• Commissioner Ortiz-Hill will send staff a ready for print file and will design the information
for the tables and bring that to the work session on April 16th.
• Staff will order the maps, seed packets and small crayon packs, tablecloths, helium tanks, large
letters, batteries, balloon weights and craft paper rolls for the picnic tables.
• Staff will email sculpture descriptions to Commissioner Ortiz-Hill.
Commissioner Fedorowicz asked about the donation link and Clerk Joseph replied that the form has
been built and is waiting for software support to create the receipt. She hopes to have it up and running
by the event date.
Commissioner Fedorowicz suggested that the Commission make personal calls to the Resilience Series
donors to thank them and personally invite them to the event. Commissioner Ortiz-Hill asked if thank
you notes had been sent out to them and Manager Black replied that donors received tax letters; if they
call in staff does thank them; sending thank you cards can be discussed at a future meeting.
• Staff will email the donor list to the Commission.
Commissioner Ortiz-Hill asked about advertising at the elementary school across the street and
Manager Black replied that the school is not willing to advertise City events; she confirmed that a yard
sign will be at the school's comer.
• Commissioner Fedorowicz will reach out to her contact at the elementary school to see if the
school can advertise the event.
The Commission discussed meeting for a work session to create the paper flowers and hang the botanic
illustrations from the Denver Botanic Gardens and a time to meet for event set up and volunteer station
staffing. The Commission decided on half hour shifts at each station.
• Work session and art hanging is scheduled for April 16th, 2024, at 10:00 am. Manager Black
will post the notice.
• Dave Schmidt has also committed to volunteering at the event.
• Commission volunteers will meet at John Meade Park at 9:00 am to set up.
• Staff will create a volunteer schedule in half-hour increments for each of the stations.
Manager Black mentioned that there would also be two Parks staff members working at the event.
b. Art Donation Application from Yoshitomo Saito
Manager Black informed the Commission that Council approved the sculpture donation on March 19,
2024; the sculpture will be available for pick up after April 8, 2024, and pick up is being scheduled.
Manager Black is working on obtaining the engineered drawings for the installation.
Commissioner Patteson asked if the artist would clean up the sculpture before the City picked it up and
Manager Black replied that it will be added to the sculpture cleaning service that the City contracts
with after checking with artist Saito. The Commission asked where the ore cart that is currently
displayed at Quincy and Clarkson would be moved to and asked that it not be placed in a possible
future art location. Manager Black explained that the relocation was not a current priority for the Parks
team; the current plan is to remove the ore cart and store it until the relocation can be addressed.
Commissioner Fedorowicz asked if the Bamboo Girl donation should be announced at the event on
April 20, 2024, and the Commission decided to post the announcement on the website instead. The
Commission discussed the improvement of the area where the sculpture will be placed and agreed to
wait until the installation was complete to discuss landscaping. Manager Black assured the
Cherry Hills Village Art Commission
March 25, 2024 -2-
Commission that the horticultural staff will be notified of the sculpture installation and asked to make
sure plantings are in harmony with the sculpture.
• Manager Black will post Bamboo Girl announcement on the website under the Resilience
Series information with an artist statement.
c. CHVAC Logo redesign
Item moved to the April 29, 2024, meeting.
d. Art Consultant (Sculpture on Loan 2024)
Commissioner Patteson asked if the sculpture on loan could be extended through the end of October.
Commissioner Fedorowicz asked about Artist Joe Norman's recommended artist, Stephen Shachtman
as a possibility for the next sculpture on loan. Manager Black suggested looking at the pieces in person
as a group.
The Commission decided to focus on hiring a new art consultant first. Resumes will be reviewed at the
April 29, 2024, meeting. Commissioner Patteson asked what the art consultant budget is, and Manager

SUBJECT: ART DONATION APPLICATION FROM YOSHITOMO SAITO
DATE: MARCH 25, 2024
ISSUE
The donation offer by Yoshitomo Saito of his sculpture “Bamboo Girl”.
DISCUSSION
Sculpture Donation
In 2023, Mr. Saito offered to donate his piece
“Bamboo Girl” to the City of Cherry Hills Village.
The piece is on loan to the City of Arvada through
spring 2024 and is located in Arvada’s Memorial
Park. After a site visit and consideration over
several meetings, the Commission voted at the
January 29, 2024 meeting to recommend that City
Council accept the donation of the sculpture for
placement at the corner of Clarkson and Quincy
Ave.
Staff presented the sculpture donation to City
Council at the March 19th, 2024 meeting. Council
approved the donation at the meeting. The
sculpture will be removed from its Arvada location
and delivered back to the artist on April 8th. Staff
will arrange to pick it up from his studio after that
date. It can be placed in its new location later this
spring. Staff will commission engineering
drawings prior to the installation, since none exist
for this sculpture. The estimated cost is $600, to be
paid from the Art Commission budget.

To whom it may concern:
Please accept these materials as confirmation of my strong interest in the part time Curatorial
position with the CHV Public Arts Commission. I am an arts passionate professional combining over two
decades experience in the business of art with engagement and commitment to the cultural life of Denver.
I’ve successfully started two arts related businesses while serving in leadership board positions for the
Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Denver Art Museum. As well, I fulfilled a two year term for the
Cherry Creek North Art and Garden District Project Advisory Group representing business stakeholders,
and am currently on the executive board for the Cherry Creek Arts District. I have experience managing
people, budgets, and cultural programming and would relish the opportunity to find out more about this
position.
I am currently tying up loose ends entailed in closing my brick and mortar gallery, but am looking
forward to have more time for arts advocacy. It will be my pleasure to meet with your board and discuss
your hopes for the program.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to learn more.
Sincerely,
Tam O’Neill
