5. Art Studio Space Update
• Molly discusses what the approval process is for constructing the space. The Council approved it as a
capital project in this year’s budget. During the final design development with Harry Teague Architects,
the project will be presented to Council again, the PEC for the conditional use permit (one was already
approved in 2003), and the DRB prior to going out to bid for construction.
• The Board discusses that the physical studio space should be modernized to ensure it is utilized as a
multi-disciplinary art studio and a desirable studio space attractive to visiting artists.
• The Board does not want to compromise the functionality of the working studio for a single artist
practicing at a time.
• The Board wants to ensure the views of the creek are integral to the studio as inspiration for the artists.
• The Board will work with Strategic Plan consultants to continue developing the programming for the
artists residency. It is an opportunity to put Vail on a broader cultural map.
