1. Approval of minutes from June 1st meeting.
2. Citizen input.
3. Summer 2020 installation review:
Ladies Fancywork Society & Vail Village Parking Structure Murals
Molly reviews the timeline and process of the two installations, as well as the social media & print
press. She shares images of the installations with the Board (illustrated below.)
Ladies Fancywork Society – Vail Public Library:
Jason Graves & Remington Robinson – Vail Village Parking Structure:
REMAINING WALL TO BE CONSIDERED FOR MURAL:
Molly reviews her discussion with the artists regarding the wall, color, light and design. The Board reviews the
budget related to the time, materials and square footage of the murals already painted. The Board motions not
to exceed $5,000 for a mural for the final wall. The Board feels this mural will complete the entrance of the
structure with their signature style. They are very pleased with the murals created thus far by the artists. Molly
will address the condition of the wall with PW Facilities prior to an arrival for completion in August. They would
also like to see more light in this area if possible.
4. Art Walk Review & Activation
• At this point, the art walks are limited to 20 people. The group gathers outside the Welcome
Center, masks are required as well as contact information. Molly does not anticipate large
tours this summer. On July 15th the tour will include a demonstration by local artist Amy Dose
painting along the Gore Creek. She is an artist who has a work in the town’s public art
collection – in the Golf Clubhouse. Kathy agrees that we should try to see if this engages the
community with having a local artist working in the Village.
5. Coordinator updates.

8/25 3:30-5pm @ GFA mosaic plaque
• Emilio Garcia’s work is now installed at the Clubhouse. There are some funds remaining in
the art budget for the space. She would like the Board to get a feel for the space and discuss
potential opportunities for art.
• New signs have been installed for many of the town’s collection.
• Library sculpture has been withdrawn from the donor.
• The artinvail.com site and virtual art collection map have been updated.
• There will likely be a presentation of the public art being placed at the expansion of Vail Health
at the next meeting, as well as two other private developments.
6. Permanent location of Seibert Memorial Sculpture Discussion
• The Board reviews possible alternate locations for the placement of the sculpture. Some
feedback is that Seibert is gesturing towards the back of the Sitzmark versus the expanse of
the mountain.
• The Board discusses the scale in relation to this potential site. Since the sculpture will be
placed against the trees on the Gore Creek, the back of the sculpture will not be accessible at
that site as well. Kathy is concerned with the height of the sculpture and the eave. Molly and
Kara explain that the work would be oriented at an angle with Seibert gesturing towards Riva
Ridge and it would not interfere with the eave.
• The ski racks are typically not in this location.
• The Board would like Molly to discuss this possible location with Bill Rey and Roger Tilkemeir.
.
• The Board discusses relocating the snowball fight installation, so it has more dialogue. They
feel if possible, it would be worth pursuing the figures juxtaposed across the path near the
Pirate Ship Park.
Public Art in Private Developments: Marriott (ELK SCULPTURE) & Altus public art.
7. No other matters from the Board.
8. Meeting adjourned.
