Summer 2020 installation discussion • Review of Koko Bayer’s wheat pasting renderings for interior spaces in Vail Village transportation center by La Cantina. The Board reviews several options for various identified wall locations. The Board reviews what they believe may work by looking at her Instagram account, along with her presentation. The Board responds positively to her interpretation of the Colorado flag, the multiple hearts, the color of the pink lemonade/multicolored compositions, the more subdued blue, hands in the upward gesture. • Summer mural for Vail Village parking structure. The Board reviews several potential artists for the wall selected by the Board for a summer mural. The wall is at the entrance by the parking entrances upon entering the Village structure and would be painted in July due to temperatures. The Board is interested in further discussing a mural with Jason Graves and Remington Robinson. • • 4. Sculpture donation to Vail Public Library, Lori Barnes – Director VPL • Lori reviews the proposal of a sculpture donation by artist Gary Lee Price New Heights of Knowledge (https://garyleeprice.com/product/new-heights-of-knowledge-the-thinker/) to the town’s public art collection to be placed at the library. This is the same artist who created the Einstein bench sculpture donated by the Fritches by the Sitzmark. The sculpture being proposed as a private donation fulfills the criteria for donated works to the public art collection and fits well within the mission of the library. The work is in a limited edition of 40. The Board moves to accept the sculpture donation to the Town of Vail’s public art collection as a gift and would be responsible for maintenance, insurance, and siting the work. The location will be decided at a future Board meeting. Lori will keep Molly apprised of any information pertaining to the donation and timeline. 5. Coordinator updates • Private developments with public art requirements include: Mountain Haus/Altus & Highline at the Doubletree • Revely / Economic Development Dept. They would like light art installation included as a major feature to highlight the destination guest experience. Revely is scheduled to take place Nov. 20 – December 12. Holidays will continue to be an enhancement for the guest experience taking place December 13 – January 3. The Board would like to invite the Economic Development Department to present the concepts of Revely to discuss budget and how AIPP would be involved in any potential production of a light installation. Kara remarks that we need to be mindful of any involvement in the production and to be sure that AIPP would only be involved in a potential art installation. Kathy reiterates the Winterfest budget does not go towards Revely and we should discuss increasing the Winterfest budget. • Art Walks through April 15th. The next walk will have a sign language interpreter at the request of two guests. • Board interviews will take place on Tuesday, March 3rd. Five members will be appointed March 3rd. The Board will review the discussion of reducing the size of the Board again from our August and September meetings. 6. Ford Park Art Space Update • Kathy informs the Board of her meeting with Diana Donovan regarding the evaluation of the art space structure from Harry Teague Architects. She explained what has transpired and the findings to Diana. She thought it might be nice to preserve the wall construction with information how it was built and the history of the building. Kathy thinks we should look at next steps going forward and looking at documenting the location, the root cellar, and the garage which now serves as the picnic shelter. 7. No other matters from the Board. 8. Meeting adjourned.
