Others present: Molly Eppard, AIPP Coordinator
1. Approval of December 6, 2021 meeting minutes.
2. No citizen input.
3. 15th Annual Vail Winterfest review.
• The Board would like to look to alternate dates for the start of Winterfest. Moving the
installation a couple weeks later would help with the weather constraints and to not to get lost
with the numerous events during December.
• This year we included both the free workshops and complimentary lantern kits which were both
popular.
• The Board likes the lanterns on the International Bridge but may explore other options for the
display.
• Grand opening – The Board liked the flow of the opening on the Bridge. It does not have the
bottleneck crowding with skier traffic as in Slifer Square. They like the proximity to the ice
sculptures and the artist actively working, the festive music, hot chocolate being served, and
characters.
• The Board liked the results of collaborating with visual artist for the ice conceptual design.
4. Vicki and Kent Logan sculpture donation update.
• Vail Daily article - https://www.vaildaily.com/entertainment/town-of-vail-receives-generous-
donation-to-public-art-collection/
• Additional potential sculpture donations and locations discussed in proximity to the Artist
Space in Ford Park and other areas of the park. The Board would like to see if the light fixture
in the Squash Blossom planter can be removed or lowered off the pedestal.
• The Board motions the following locations for the placement of the sculptures: Jason
Middlebrook in the lower planter bed between the stairs and the Village parking structure; the
Nathan Mabry in proximity to the Lawrence Weiner on the Western edge of the structure; Brad
Kahlhamer in the landing area west of the central stairs of structure (images below).

residency space. The collaborative vision development, research, and roadmap to these

approximately six months for completion and approval. An RFQ for updating the 2001
AIPP Strategic Plan will be issued in 2022.
