Roll call and approval of minutes with two clarifications from December 3 meeting. 2. Citizen input. 3. Stephen’s Park Renovation Update & Integration of Art Element – Gregg Barrie, TOV Presentation attached The Council has approved a total budget of $300,000 for the renovation of the Stephen’s Park play area this year. Gregg reviews the TOV’s history of incorporating art elements in the playgrounds. He would like to discuss this project with the AIPP Board for input and feedback. He reviews the playground location and history. He discusses the plans for updating the playground and specific play elements. In regards to art, he is looking to the Board for direction. He also reviews the schedule for the renovation. The budget for the art element will be drawn from the overall budget. Given the short time frame it is suggested to review past applicants for public art calls. We can review the portfolios and look to recommendations from the Board. He would like to return in February to update the Board on this review, as we would like to get an artist hired for the collaboration. Trish asks if there is a priority of criteria for this playground project. Gregg recalls we have found that “hot lava monster” is extremely popular play. The goal is to work with an artist in a collaborative manner to combine play value with art. If the artist is on board from the beginning phases, it typically is a good working relationship. He explains that with this playground we are not starting from scratch and hope to utilize existing parts of the playground. Kathy compliments the presentation. The Board agrees that due to timing it is best to review past applications as a starting point for the artist collaboration. Gregg confirms the neighborhood has a lot of kids and it is a good local playground. Trish motions to proceed forward with the artist review process. The Board agrees unanimously. 4. Vail Winterfest Lantern Walk & Ice Theater Review Molly presents feedback she has received regarding the lantern workshops. The Jan. 21 workshop at the VRD went well and a good number of participants (30). Molly purchased the food and treats for the event, as there was a last minute timing issue with the library. The Jan 23 workshop was very busy with lots of guests (300+). She heard that Alpine Arts did an incredible job handling the crowds. Lauren/Alpine said that guests were arriving well after the 3:30 cut-off time. Many guests showed up as late as 4:30. Her recommendation is to have a Board member present turning people away after the cut-off time, but to give them one of the gratis lanterns. We may want to explore whether there might be a larger location for this particular workshop. Margaret confirms the comments and especially that people were arriving long after the cut-off time. She comments it was much better this year not having so many steps in the craft and it helped tremendously in the clean-up. Regarding the timeline for the lantern walk, it was recommended to start earlier with less gathering time. People complimented the music – Grown Men in Lederhosen. One guest commented it might be fun to have the Fire Engine also at the beginning of the walk. The Starbucks hot chocolate was a nice amenity, but to have the two containers on two separate tables to spread out the line. The sandwich board sign should be brought near the tables during the event. It was suggested to have Santa present the entire time and if we should consider having him sit. Many people tried to get to Santa, but I was told a lot of guests would not leave his side. It may be best to have some order to greeting Santa. There was quite a bit of candy wrapper debris, so we may want to remove that element. Molly has had lots of great feedback on the ice theater this year. The weather helped us to have it entirely installed rather than in stages with the early snow. People are enjoying the interactive nature of the arches. Feedback from restaurant patrons included “never seen so many people taking photos both day and night.” We did have a few issues with the coins being stuck on the ice, but it has stopped now with the signs. Kathy asks if it is the projection or is it the seating drawing people to the installation? Molly comments the projection draws people to the installation, but it really seems to be about the seating and photo opportunities. Molly heard we may want to ask the Police Dept if they might be able to help with crowd control at the bus stop. The Board thinks we should limit the giveaways at the site and look to having the swag at the library workshop. Kara comments we should separate the tables to keep the area more spread-out. Kara comments the lanterns are the purpose of the event, so we need to be mindful of the swag and have less variety. The glow sticks worked well handing them to the kids entering the ice theater. Trish comments if we make less complicated it will be less frustrating for guests and staff. Since we want to see the event continue to grow, we should keep this in mind. 5. Council Presentation Review Presentation attached Molly reviews the Council presentation scheduled for Jan. 15 with the Board. The presentation will begin with the Stickwork video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-tfl6tdG24 . The Board suggests changing some language in the description of the Ford Park Art Space. Otherwise the Board approves the highlighted topics for the AIPP review and update. 6. 2019 Summer Programming Murals – next steps include contracts/agreements with the artists after the Council presentation. Bravo! reached out to Molly to see if AIPP would like to collaborate on a performance by pianist Angie Zhang who has 3 works of classical music she presents that are directly related to known visual images: Debussy L'Isle Joyeuse inspired by Watteau paintings, Granados Los Requiebros from Goyescas based on Goya paintings and sketches Caroline Shaw's Gustave Le Gray featuring art photography of Gustave Le Gray. They would want to partner on a space and getting a piano to the space. At this stage the Board would want more information, as our summer programming is getting full already. Molly is waiting for a follow-up email with more details from Bravo! 7. Coordinator Updates Red Sandstone Elementary School Garage Update from the artist: "The stencil/masks for the 3rd Grader’s artwork are done. Jeff Wester is prepping the steel for the base ‘aspen’ color. We have devised a ‘story stick’ to measure out the paint banding pattern. Base ‘aspen color’ paint applied first week of January. Schedule looks like I will drive to Jeff’s shop in Sisters, or apply the stencil/mask artwork." Molly confirms that the contractors will only drill with a template provided by the artist. They will not be responsible for measurements for the anchor drill. Greg Hall is now the point person for the artist. Vail’s Lawrence Weiner work donated by Kent and Vicki Logan was highlighted in a NY Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/24/arts/design/here-it-is-two-artists-on-their-mind-stretching-art- book.amp.html Meeting adjourned.
