The Board thanks Jackie and Pete for returning today to present to AIPP. 4. 14th Annual Winterfest Ice Installation, Paul Wertin & Jake Proffit - Alpine Ice • Paul has been involved with the Winterfest installation from the beginning fourteen years ago. He also has taken on the responsibility for lighting the ice sculptures over the p ast several years which as we know is integral to the success of the Winterfest. • Paul reviews the presentation with the Board and the repetition of the sculpted face forms depicted in ice. Kara comments that she loves the presentation, but this year we should l ook towards more whimsy, playfulness and magic. She believes we may want to revisit these designs though at a later date given today’s climate. Kathy agrees with Kara and remarks that we may want to look towards lanterns as the theme. • Paul is open to explore lanterns as a theme for this year’s Winterfest. Tracy comments that we can remove the paper element from his sculptures and rather focus on the ice sculptures as the lanterns. She comments we can have the paper lanterns on hooks integrated throughout the Promenade as wel l. • Paul would like to look at this concept and present to the Board before the December meeting. Molly comments that the wonderland nature will appeal to all ages. • Susanne agrees that there is a great connection with the lanterns created by the students, though she does appreciate the human element of his presentation. She remarks that they are beautiful and would like to look at that as possibility in the future. • Kara wants to be mindful that the lanterns do not just convey a Christmas themed installation. Paul believes they can create an installation that would resonate beyond the holidays. Courtney remarks that the concept of illum ination may be all encompassing of the installation. • The Board agrees to reconvene with Paul on Monday, November 9 th. Paul will be able to run the lighting cables in order to extend the installation throughout the entire Promenade. Kara thanks Paul for his creativity and working with AIPP on Winterfest again this year. 5. Lantern display and virtual workshops Connectivity/Community • Reaching out and including the community by providing free l antern kits – watercolor set, winter themed stickers, lights/pipe cleaner, pipe cleaner handle, instructions on finding video on demand and how to display, social media #s, Discover Vail • Video on demand – instruction & demonstration with Lauren from Alpine Arts • There are several events taking place: Revely, Magic of Lights, Holidays, Winterfest & Lantern Display. Special events discussed having a single all-inclusive street banner for discovervail.com to direct people to the site for information. Winterfest will still have a presence in the roundabouts. We will also continue to have Winterfest signage to make sure it maintains its identity as an AIPP installation. • This year we will produce a 4 x 9 rack card rather than a trifold brochure directing people to artinvail.com as events will likely be evolving. • Molly met with public works to look at lighting and d ecorating the International Bridge with illuminated lanterns. This will serve as the focal point for the lantern display. • Lanterns may be hung from some accessible trees on the bridge, as well as shepherd hooks in the planters on shepherd hooks. These can be designated for photo opportunities and explained on the information in the lantern kits. They can then share on social media. • Kathy asks how do we cap the number of available kits. We want to look at distribution of the kits as well. • We will reach out to the other schools to let them know about the video on dem and, kits and display on the International Bridge. • The lantern display will be on view by December 20 th with the video on demand on available by the 18th. 6. Clubhouse sculpture discussion. • The plaque for Jerry Ford Posters & new art is being made. • We will be able to update the framing of their golf print in the hall. • VRD wants to be involved in the final selection of any sculpture selected for the outdoors. They want to ensure that it does not detract from the natural scenery. • Kathy comments on the possibility of integrating art on the large wall versus a sculpture. • We should plan to review options at the next meeting. 7. Coordinator updates. • Summer installation review should begin at the start of 2021. • Board agrees that the LFS installation on the entrance to the library can be removed at the start of December. Kathy suggests storing the installation and repurpose it for next summer if salvageable. • We will postpone the face mask making at this time. • Symposium signage should be complete by the end of the year. • Vail Resorts has agreed to the relocation of the Seibert Memorial to Mountain Plaza. We are looking at placing the work on a Colorado Buff stone slab versus a concrete pour. 8. Meeting adjourned.
