Budget PAAC Secretary Vanessa Cabrera - provided an update on the PAAC Administrator's contract, hours, and duties. She explained that the addition of hours or budgetary amounts for specific tasks would not be possible due to the PAAC Administrator's current approved contract. PAAC Secretary Cabrera explained that per the direction of the Finance Director the maximum amount allowed to be used from the budget for wages is 34% of the total budget. She also explained that in order to make the changes then a contract amendment would be required. PAAC Cabrera also stated that the Finance Department has not received any invoices to date from the PAAC Administrator. PAAC Board Member Lilly stated that she would work on creating a spreadsheet template for the administrator to log the time spent on each of the contractual tasks. Page 1 of 5 Page 5 of 30 Public Arts Advisory Committee - Regular Meeting October 15, 2025 PAAC Board Member Angeles volunteered to contact the PAAC Administrator to explain the need to log the tasks to have statistics available to be able to provide clear directions on tasks and review the need for additional hours. Chair Razo suggested the board holds off on increases of hours and wages for the PAAC Administrator until all invoices have been received. Community Director Gardner explained that he would like to use the Parks and Recreation method of processing grants. He explained that they filter through the applications first, they bring the selected applications before the City Council, and the applicants have the opportunity to present their program or event. He explained after the presentation the grants are approved. He explained that the PAAC Board needs to determine what are the criteria that they want for the grant application process. Community Development Director Gardner suggested that the applications should be sent to City staff, and they will do the initial review for completeness as well as determine if they match the PAAC Board criteria before forwarding them to the PAAC Grant Committee. Vice Chair Lyons expressed the importance of ensuring that during the review process applicants are awarded the opportunity to correct deficiencies in their applications and the process suggested by Community Development Director Gardner would make the process easier for the PAAC Board. PAAC Board Member Angeles stated that the process would allow for transparency when reviewing the applications. She asked the PAAC Board about the importance of the criteria, for example would the community grants be available at events that are located within businesses even if the businesses are just providing the event space. PAAC Board Member Eskandar stated that grant guidelines are all the same across all City grants, which means that most applicants should be able to complete the application process. She also suggested that the applicants that receive the grants should include the PAAC and promote the PAAC funding on all their promotional material. Lee Anne Clarke, Action 29 suggested that the PAAC Grant Material inform the applicants that they must have insurance from the date of award till the date of the event if approved. Community Development Director Gardner will ask the Finance Director to provide information on the specific insurance requirements for grant applicants. ACTION: A motion was made by seconded by Board Member Lilly, seconded by Vice Chair Lyons to approve the budget as submitted. The above mentioned was carried by the following: ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: ANGELES, ESKANDAR, LILLY LYONS, RAZO NOES: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: NONE 4. Arts Master Plan Community Development Director Gardner explained that he would continue to leave all the sections that the PAAC Board members are currently drafting as reference. He expressed his appreciation of how the board has been working in great detail and the amount of progress in creating the documents. REPORTS, REQUESTS, AND COMMUNICATIONS PAAC Board Member Eskandar reported she attended the current art exhibit at the Visit 29 visitor center. Vice Chair Lyons reported she attended the Rediscover 29 meeting. Page 2 of 5 Page 6 of 30 Public Arts Advisory Committee - Regular Meeting October 15, 2025 Chair Razo reported he attended the Rediscover 29 meeting and the 29 Farmers Market. PAAC Board Member Lilly reported she attended the Queer Film Festival, a lecture at the 29 palms Schoolhouse Museum and the Morongo Basin Art Tours. PAAC Board Member Angeles reported that she did not attend any events or meetings. 5. Strategic Planning Committee (Eskandar and Lily) PAAC Board Member Eskandar has been working on the current exhibitions. PAAC Board Member Lilly stated she is working on the list of performance locations. Community Development Director Gardner reported that the performance list is in progress and looks good. 6. Exhibitions Committee (Eskandar and Angeles) PAAC Board Member Eskandar reported she used the artist registry to contact twelve (12) artists not participating in the Morongo Basin Art Tours, located in Twentynine Palms. She contacted them directly to make sure they registered in the PAAC Artist Directory, and they were able to exhibit at Visit 29 visitor center. PAAC Board Member Angeles asked the board to consider having some hanging kits and supplies to have at the Visit 29 visitor center for artists to use. She explained that artists bring their pieces and do not know they need to bring their supplies to place their art. Chair Razo asked if the exhibition committee was comfortable assisting artists with setting up their art. He explained that most artists should have the supplies and know they need to agree on a release of liability. Lee Anne Clarke, Action 29 - stated that previously the PAAC would make postcards to promote the Exhibits, and they would be distributed throughout the City. She explained the postcards would have all the information including some art photos. PAAC Board Member Eskandar would like the PAAC to solidify the actual dates and themes for the exhibits. She would like to get a quote for postcards from the local business VIP Printing. PAAC Board Member Lilly wants to work with all the other subcommittees to get a joint calendar created with all the events. She agreed that having a mailer and posters at businesses would help promote efficiently the exhibits. Vice Chair Lyons suggested the need to acquire content and design for promotional materials. Chair Razo stated that flyers or posters at local businesses would be promoted effectively. 7. Existing and Future Public Arts Committee (Lyons and Razo) Vice Chair Lyons stated that Eskapade 29 was donating skateboards to kids, and she knows they want to participate in the Skate Park Mural. She also mentioned that there would be Skate demonstrations during Pioneer Days. Vice Chair Lyons stated the importance of having the kids and the community provide their vision for that location and making the Skate Park Mural a community project. PAAC Board Member Lilly agreed that it is important for the kids to feel ownership on the Skate Park Mural. Page 3 of 5 Page 7 of 30 Public Arts Advisory Committee - Regular Meeting October 15, 2025 Chair Razo reported that he spoke with Chuck Caplinger to discuss how he sees the City using the 29! since it is being done without his consent. Chair Razo also wants to discuss the City's Banners since many have been damaged, and he was going to speak with City Manager Stone James to find out if the City was ordering more. Community Development Director Gardner explained that the banners were also part of a City contest and they are installed by the City Public Works Department. He also stated that the roads the banners are installed on have high speed limits and the placement of the banners are too high for commuters to notice them. Lee Ann Clarke, Action 29 - explained that there was a contest for the banners however they are not visible due to their small size and the amount of text on them. She suggested that the designs should be clear. Chair Razo stated he will get the information and bring it back to the board to consider. He mentioned that they need to continue working on the big project of identifying the murals that require repairs, the Downtown Kiosk being replaced with a City Directory on one side with the opposite side displaying the Mural Map. He explained he had been in communication with the Schoolhouse Museum to see if they would be interested in relocating the kiosk to their location. Chair Razo announced that he would be working on a presentation by the PAAC to the City Council. PAAC Board Member Eskandar would like to confirm that it is ok to remove the Kiosk from downtown since some may see it as a historic landmark. PAAC Board Member Angeles would like the PAAC to know who will maintain the new City Directory (the City of the PAAC). Chair Razo explained that TBID would be funding the development of the Directory, the City would provide maintenance, the PAAC would work with the design and Action 29 would provide information for the mural locations. He explained that the PAAC would be looking into the style design guidelines and the different City logos. Lee Ann Clarke, Action 29 - explained the importance of having room to add to the running list list of those assets. 8. PAAC Arts Advocate of the Year Committee (Lyons and Angeles) Vice Chair Lyons discussed an open call for nominees for the PAAC Advocate of the Year. She said the committee had a strong candidate in mind. Lee Ann Clark, Action 29 - said that Groundworks Arts should be included on the list of candidates. PAAC Board Member Eskandar stated that it would be great to hear from the community and their selections. PAAC Board Member Angeles mentioned that the committee’s candidate is a strong contender however it is important to listen to the community to recognize those residents that are worthy of recognition. 9. PAAC PR Committee Vice Chair Lyons stated it is important for PR to reach out to the community with information on how to submit their recommendations. PAAC Board Member Lilly recommended the name of another candidate. Community Development Director Gardner explained it is important to decide who the selected awardee is because they need to update the Award Plaque. Page 4 of 5 Page 8 of 30 Public Arts Advisory Committee - Regular Meeting October 15, 2025 Lee Ann Clarke, Action 29 asked if they would consider awarding it to more than one person. Chair Razo asked all subcommittees to send him their 2025 achievements for him to add them to his presentation to the City Council.

THE ARTS IN TWENTYNINE PALMS GENERAL PLAN The City of Twentynine Palms' General Plan mission statement includes the vision to create and promote its residents' economic and social well-being, guided by sustainability and adaptability principles. Further defined by the goals of: ● Developing a strong and diversified local economy with a focus on arts, cultural tourism, retail, job growth, and overall quality of life for all community members, and ● Preserving the desert environment and its natural and cultural resources for future generations. To enhance its identity as an artistic community and to celebrate and expand its vital and rich artistic legacy, the City established the Art in Public Places (APP) Program in 2004. 2. PAAC MISSION STATEMENT The City of Twentynine Palms established Art in Public Places in 2004 as part of its Public Arts Program. Art in Public Places is administered by the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC). The Twentynine Palms City Council appoints its members who envision literary, visual, and performing arts programming; guide public art performance and installations, support youth and the arts programs in the community, and sponsor Art in Public Places exhibitions. The PAAC is directed toward supporting high-quality public art and performance in the City with the following objectives: ● To enrich the public environment for both residents and visitors ● To nurture, enhance, and encourage the community's participation in arts ● To enable Twentynine Palms to enhance its identity as an arts community ● To increase public access to promote an understanding and awareness of the arts In addition to developing new arts programming, the PAAC will maintain an inventory of existing permanent public art and oversee assessment and maintenance of City owned works. 3. PAAC COMMITTEE MEMBERS Membership of the PAAC is composed of five arts professionals with an option to expand to seven members. In addition to the core members, the PAAC has one alternate.

Performing arts include a range of disciplines which include theater, dance, and music. There are many different types of performing arts, but some major forms are music, dance, theatre, circus, opera, puppetry, mine and digital media. All disciplines of performing arts have their own unique skills and styles to narrate stories and convey messages. Performing arts can take place in conventional settings, such as theaters or recital halls, but may also be performed in less conventional settings including outdoor spaces, public throughways, any building or room within a building that provides adequate space for the performers and audience (though performing arts can also be provided for a remote viewing audience). Goals: As a city, we welcome, promote and protect performing arts as a vehicle to build community and provide opportunities for self-expression for all of our community members. Our goal includes promoting more performance spaces and opportunities. We want to incorporate the arts in uplifting our underserved community members in addition to supporting established artists. We recognize that it’s important to expose children to the arts, and that the arts can keep our elderly citizens from fading to the fringes of the community. Further, the arts can build bridges between age groups, national origins, and financial strata, creating a stronger community bond. Our current community of performers is an asset for growing revenue for the city. By investing (both financially and in terms of support) in the arts, the city will have an opportunity to attract income through both tourism and business development. Culinary Arts Culinary Art covers preparing, cooking and presenting food. All courses of a meal are involved: amuse bouche, appetizer, entrée, and side dishes. A wide spectrum of disciplines are involved in creating culinary art: food science and nutrition, regionalism and seasonality, flavors and textures, and, of course, the way food is styled on the plate. Page 17 of 30 Technically, breads and desserts have their own art category, but for our purposes, I propose that they be included as part of a wider definition. I also propose including coffee and cocktails/beverages as parts of our high desert culinary arts community. Goals: By promoting culinary arts in 29, we are lighting a beacon that will attract visitors who might otherwise travel no further east than Yucca Valley or Joshua Tree. 29 can become the go-to high desert destination for exciting culinary experiences. Further, culinary arts can inspire our young people to seek a career in food prep and service and can teach community members of all ages to eat healthier. Home / Practical Arts Home / Practical Arts refer to traditional crafts, practiced for generations, to maintain and care for a household. Among the skills demonstrated in Home Arts are needle crafting such as sewing, knitting or crochet, woodworking such as whittling, musical instrument creation, and building, food preservation through drying or canning, This form of art combines practicality with aesthetics, creating unique, beautifully crafted items that can be used regularly within our homes. Goals: Home and practical arts are a wonderful way to bring community members together to teach and learn about skills such as knitting, woodwork, welding, quilting, etc. Further, the skills gained from the classes make students of all ages more self- sufficient and provide opportunity for achievement and to build personal and community pride. This is an opportunity for local organizations including schools, churches, the senior center, and Parks & Rec to work together to create and present events, so inter- organization offerings will be encouraged. Page 18 of 30 Definitions – Temporary Art & Live Artistic Performances Temporary Art Temporary art installations are works of art intended to be displayed for the public, for a limited period, and that does not leave a lasting record. The installations are of a limited duration with a temporary site, function, or audience. They may, for example, be an art event, an exhibition in a publicly-accessed space, or a sculpture with a temporary location. Temporary art installations are specifically designed to exist for a limited duration, often occupying unconventional spaces, transforming familiar environments into thought-provoking settings. Temporary installations frequently explore relevant social, cultural, or environmental themes. Through active public involvement, they make art accessible and meaningful to diverse audiences, fostering a deeper connection between art and the community. Performing Arts Performing arts are a creative form of art performed by individuals or groups that use their voices, bodies or inanimate objects to convey artistic expression in front of a live audience. Performing arts include a range of disciplines which include theater, dance, and music. There are many different types of performing arts, but some major forms are music, dance, theatre, circus, opera, puppetry, mine and digital media.

Performing arts can take place in conventional settings, such as theaters or recital halls, but may also be performed in less conventional settings including outdoor spaces, public throughways, any building or room within a building that provides adequate space for the performers and audience (though performing arts can also be provided for a remote viewing audience).

The city seeks to unify its diverse artistic assets, desert landmarks, and public infrastructure under a cohesive visual and thematic system. This system will: - Celebrate the desert heritage, military pride, and cultural vibrancy of Twentynine Palms. - Enhance navigation through visual storytelling and creative signage. - Support tourism, resident engagement, and economic development. - Position the city as a premier High Desert destination for public art and outdoor experiences. 1. The Arts Corridor: Adobe to the Oasis of Mara At the heart of the city’s arts branding initiative is the development of an Arts Corridor—a continuous cultural experience spanning from the Adobe Road commercial district through Downtown to the historic Oasis of Mara. Key Strategies: - Install gateway art pieces at each end of the corridor (e.g., sculptural markers or illuminated signs). - Activate the corridor with murals, rotating art banners, and sidewalk inlays. - Integrate art installations at intersections, bus stops, and community gathering points. - Leverage the upcoming Project Phoenix area as a central node with sculptural seating, storytelling kiosks, and pedestrian-scaled artworks. 2. Branding Guidelines A unified Twentynine Palms Arts Brand will be applied across city arts programs, signage, print materials, and digital platforms: - Logo and Iconography: Visual identity reflecting desert elements, cultural themes, and a unique color palette. - Typography and Color: ADA-compliant fonts and desert-inspired colors. Page 23 of 30 - Tone and Messaging: Welcoming, creative, and grounded in place with phrases like 'Spirit of the Desert' or 'The Creative Oasis'. 3. Placemaking with Public Art Artworks should help define spaces and create memorable experiences: - Functional Art: Bike racks, benches, and shade structures designed by artists. - Storytelling Elements: Use of QR codes, AR, and engraved narratives. - Pop-up Installations: Flexible spaces for temporary or rotating art. 4. Wayfinding Design Standards Wayfinding should be as artistic as it is functional: Signage Hierarchy: - Primary Gateways: Large, sculptural signs with lighting and art. - District Markers: Signs for the Arts Corridor and key areas. - Pedestrian Nodes: Directional signs with maps and artist info. Materials: - Use weather-resistant, desert-friendly materials (Corten steel, concrete, ceramic tile). Accessibility: - Ensure all signage and content meets ADA standards. Collaborations: - Partner with National Park Service, Visit29.org, and local historians. 5. Implementation & Oversight - The Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC) will lead branding strategy development. - Guidelines will be reviewed every 3 years. - All city-funded arts and signage projects must follow standards. - Branding will pilot in the Project Phoenix district and expand citywide. Page 24 of 30 Twentynine Palms Public Art Master Plan Public Art Installations are artistic works intentionally and permanently placed in public spaces with the purpose of enhancing the environment, enriching community life, and reflecting local identity. These installations may take many forms —including sculptures, murals, mosaics, architectural integrations, sound pieces, or interactive structures—and are designed to be accessible and meaningful to a broad audience. Unlike art confined to galleries or museums, public art exists in everyday settings such as parks, sidewalks, civic buildings, transit corridors, and open landscapes. It plays a vital role in shaping a city’s visual character, fostering cultural dialogue, and offering residents and visitors opportunities for reflection, inspiration, and connection. Public art is typically commissioned or curated through a public process and supported by municipalities, arts councils, or community partnerships. As a dynamic expression of place, history, and values, public art installations contribute to a community’s sense of identity, belonging, and pride. 1. Goals The Permanent Arts Installation program in Twentynine Palms is designed to: - Celebrate the Desert Spirit: Commission artworks that reflect the beauty, ecology, and mysticism of the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree National Park. - Honor Local Narratives: Embed themes of military service, pioneer history, Indigenous heritage, and new artistic communities into the city’s visual landscape. - Strengthen Community Identity: Support creative placemaking that fosters civic pride and positions Twentynine Palms as a cultural hub of the Morongo Basin. - Enhance Visitor Experience: Create distinctive public spaces that attract cultural tourism and complement existing attractions like the Oasis of Murals. - Support Local Artists: Prioritize opportunities for regional artists and craftspersons, reinforcing the city’s arts economy. 2. Inventory Twentynine Palms will maintain a comprehensive Public Art Inventory that includes: Page 25 of 30 - The Oasis of Murals collection (current murals, artists, year painted) - Sculptures, memorials, and installations across city parks and downtown - Artworks on city buildings, medians, and gateway signage - Themed public art and land art on public lands - A map and artist directory hosted on the city’s website and Visit29.org, including images and historical context This inventory will be updated annually by the Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC) and linked to tourism and educational platforms. 3. Maintenance Given Twentynine Palms' harsh desert environment, proactive maintenance is critical: - UV and Heat Considerations: Protective coatings and materials that resist sun damage, high winds, and sand abrasion. - Mural Conservation: A rotating schedule for mural restoration and re-coating; the original artist shall be the first point of contact. - Vandalism Response: Rapid-response protocols for graffiti or damage, in coordination with city maintenance crews. - Annual Review: All works will be reviewed each year by PAAC in collaboration with local conservators or city staff. A dedicated maintenance fund (1–2% of new capital projects) will be established and potentially supplemented by grants or private sponsorships. 4. Future Locations New permanent art installations will be planned for: - Downtown Revitalization Zone: Including Adobe Road and National Park Drive intersections. - City Parks: Luckie Park, Knott's Sky Park, and Veterans' Park as hubs for interactive or commemorative art. - Civic Gateway Sites: Highway entrances into Twentynine Palms to serve as cultural wayfinding landmarks. - Project Phoenix Development Area: Integrating art into pedestrian corridors, parking lots, and community gathering spaces. - Arts Corridor: Developing a cohesive arts language to tie in the Adobe Corridor to the Oasis of Mara. See Branding section. - Public Trails and Desert Vistas: Opportunities for interpretive desert sculpture or environmental art. Site selection will be guided by equitable distribution, accessibility, and narrative relevance. 5. Guidelines The following principles will govern all permanent installations in Twentynine Palms: - Desert Resilience: Preference for materials and techniques proven in desert climates (e.g., rusted steel, tile, stone, UV-protected paints). - Cultural Integrity: Works must reflect or respectfully engage with local history, the natural environment, or military contributions. - Public Engagement: Residents will be invited to participate in concept development, review processes, and unveilings. - Artist Eligibility: Open calls will favor High Desert artists, with mentorship for Page 26 of 30 emerging voices. - Siting Criteria: Visibility, safety, minimal ecological disruption, ADA compliance, and potential for shade/shelter integration. - Deaccessioning: Works may be relocated or retired after consultation with the artist (if available), public input, and City Council approval. All guidelines will be evaluated biannually by PAAC and adjusted as community needs evolve.
