• 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.
