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.
3.4 Artist in Residence (AIR) Strategic Plan Review, Molly Casey and Mary Gangel Nine Dot Arts.
• Vision, Intention, Studio, Estimated Costs and Anticipated Schedule are reviewed.
• Nine Dot requests a better floorplan to include in the document.
• Rules and Regulations around the residency will be on the actual application.
• Fundraising initiatives should be included as a separate page (lodging, materials, stipends, residency,
event) on this document and ways to contribute. We will look to have a “venmo” contribution option on
the artinvail.com site with the Finance Dept.
• Nine Dot will make the recommended updates.
3.5 Summer program updates:
• AIR with Danielle SeeWalker:
o Danielle canceled presenting her mural proposal today due to a travel conflict. Molly asked
her to email the proposal so we can arrange a special AIPP meeting due to the tight
deadline. We are not under contract until the proposal is approved by the Board.
o Due to construction in the Council Chambers the photography exhibit cannot take place
in this location over the summer. We can look at alternate locations and dates. Molly has
not heard back from Danielle yet about this development.
o June 19 – Vail Symposium moderated discussion & book signing with Danielle; June 17
– rawhide painting activity with Danielle.
• Bravo!/Sebastian with Emilio Garcia Plascencia (AIPP artist from Mexico City with art located in
Golf Course Clubhouse)
o AIPP reimbursing the artist’s travel and accommodations @ June 20 – 24.
o Activations to take place during the Bravo! Orchestra Mineria residency.
• Commissioned sculpture installation by Squire Broel
o Board needs to review a temporary location for the installation mid-July considering the
studio construction.
o Vicki and Kent Logan have donated $30,000 towards the commission of this approved
work.
