April1, 2024 Minutes.pdf
3.2 Donation proposal:
• Original bronze sculpture of Bruce on Bench by artist Sutton Betti from resident Jim Errant.
• 67” L x 42” D x 48” H
• Courtney, Tracy, and Kathy comment the work is similar to the Einstein Bench and other
sculptures in the collection so would not fulfill criteria selection. There are many figurative
bronze works in the collection.
• Board recommends looking at locations around the base of the mountain on Vail Resorts’
property given the finite locations where AIPP can place public art. Molly will reach out to VR
to explore possibilities for placement.
• Lindsea thanks Jim for his generous offer and agrees connecting with VR for a potential
spot for placement.
3.3 GoPro Mountain Games annual mural activation by artist Timmy Ham (June 5 – 10)
• Morgan Kelleher Vail Valley Foundation, Sr. Marketing Manager discusses the status of the project as
the artist is unavailable today due to painting a mural at an orphanage in Africa.
• The ad space adjacent to the mural will contain content about the artist.
• Morgan will contact AIPP for a special meeting when she receives the updated proposal from the artist.

in this location over the summer. We can look at alternate locations and dates. Molly has
