Public Notice - Art in Public Places Board Meeting Minutes
Monday, August 29, 2022
AIPP Board members present: Susanne Graf, Tracy Gordon, Kathy Langenwalter, Lindsea Stowe,
Courtney St. John
Others present: Molly Eppard - AIPP Coordinator, Pete Wadden – Environmental Sustainability Dept.
1. Approval of August 1, 2022 meeting minutes.
2. Citizen input.
3. Gore Valley Trail Interpretive Installation (85% completion – Presentation attached)
• Presenter - Pete Wadden, Watershed Educational Coordinator - Environmental Sustainability Dept.
Town of Vail
• Background of project and work thus far with Howard and Revis from Washington, DC. Introduces the
consultant team from H&R with discussion of their approach to the interpretive project including 3D and
graphic efforts for the display along the Gore Creek.
• Kathy distributes her outline of locations from the presentation and expresses concern for durability,
uv/fading, scratch resistance for the panels, as well as stability of the sculptural elements.
• H&R explains they can distribute spec sheets and the artist plans to add volume to elements that may
be vulnerable.
• Molly asks about the maintenance plan for the sculptural elements and the means of mounting the
sculptural elements to the panels to ensure they do not detach, as she has had to address these
conservation issues on art. The TOVs bronzes are maintained annually. Pete explains that the
maintenance of the bronze elements will fall upon the Environmental Sustainability Dept. H&R plans to
create a prototype and would recommend letting them weather through touch.
• The gabion markers will have a base volume mounted to a concrete footer 30 inches deep into the
ground. It will incorporate stainless steel threads/rods to secure elements to the gabions. The panels
are fitted to the gabion boulders with reverse threaded inserts.
• Pete reviews his presentation with the Board and specifically the 10 stations along the Gore Valley Trail
– the established paved bike/pedestrian path along the creek. Notes that the freestanding Beaver
sculpture is no longer in the scope of the plan despite being included in the presentation.
• Molly asks the Board to focus on the proposed free standing sculptural elements created in Corten
steel, as a part of this interpretive installation rather than the overall installation markers.
• Station 11 – Four large-scaled trout sculptural elements descending to the Gore Valley Trail from the
Sandstone underpass. The Board comments these four elements conflict with the existing installation
by Gordon Huether Roundabout the Mountain at the Sandstone Underpass. They do not want the trout
to be confused as a part of the existing commissioned public art already at this site. They express
safety concerns with the four large scaled trout and remark it distracts from the existing natural beauty
as you approach the creek rather than offer an educational enhancement.
• The Board comments the freestanding sculptures appear decorative, and the purpose seems lost in the
overall installation, rather than conveying responsibilities as an environmental steward and furthering a
call to action.

• Kathy comments that these freestanding sculptures should be eliminated altogether and do not feel
cohesive with the interpretive installation and appears to be “clutter” to the installation. Susanne does
not feel like these sculptures fulfill existing AIPP criteria and quality. They are concerned with the safety
of the mink placed on the boulder in Ford Park, as well as the porcupine attached to a tree across the
creek from the informational plaque and would recommend eliminating these elements.
• The Board differentiates their comments of the bronze sculptural elements mounted on the gabions
versus the freestanding Corten sculptural elements. They do want to be mindful how the message is
conveyed to the public: public is invited to touch these bronze features whereas the public art collection
discourages touching.
• Pete will take this to Council for review and upon approval with a proposed installation in 2023 which he
comments is budgeted.
• Kathy and Tracy recommend that this should go before the residents of the community for public
comment now that it is being realized with visuals. Courtney has concerns about the overall expanse of
the installation and questions how truly unique it is to Vail.
• Susanne motions that the freestanding Corten steel sculptural elements be eliminated from the
installation (four trout, mink, and porcupine) – Kathy, Tracy, Lindsea agree. Courtney abstains as she
has overall concerns about the installation.
• Pete will continue with his approval process from the Council for the Gore Valley Trail Interpretive
Installation. It is noted that the AIPP Board’s purview is only on the sculptural elements and not the
overall installation.
• Kathy will confer with Community Development to inquire if other Boards or Commissions would be
involved in the approval process.
4. 2023 Winterfest – Ice Installations and Lanterns discussion.
• Winterfest – Dates start on site Jan 7 and be finished by Jan 13. Decision based on snow accumulation
which serves as the base structure for the ice sculptures.
• The Board would like to continue with collaboration on the design with a visual artist. They recommend
reaching out to Ben Roth.
• Lanterns: The Board decides to pause the lanterns for this winter season. Given we are moving the
installation of the ice to January this would be an opportune time to reevaluate the lantern element with
the intent to reimagine it for the future.
• The Board motions to increase the budget for the installation to $25,000 and focusing on the artistic
nature of the ice and light installation, especially since it is moving to after the New Year.
5. Ford Park Art Studio Space Update
• Revised designs from Harry Teague Architects with the Board recommendations for the space around
the desired residency programming will be presented at the next Board meeting.
6. Kaitlin Ziesmer Lionshead Parking Structure Mural
• Completed mural – installation went smoothly.

7. Coordinator Updates.
• Art Walks through August 31
• Meetings: October 3, Strategic Plan special meeting October 6, Nov 7, Dec 5
8. AIPP Board updates.
• Susanne discusses: http://www.twohundredwomen.com/theproject
9. Future sculpture locations and sites discussion.
• Yoram Wolberger Male Baseball Player was accepted by the Board as a gift to the TOV public art
collection to be placed in proximity of the upper playing fields at Ford Park. Molly contacted Mike Ortiz
and Vail Rec. to discuss this possibility and site. They are enthusiastic about this placement of the
sculpture.
• The desire is to elevate it and surround with some plant materials to deter climbing. In the winter it will
appear as the ballplayer is floating on the field.
• There is also interest in having a camera placed in this location of Ford Park.
• The Board motions to approve the site which will be presented in an update to Council.
• The Board plans to walk after the next Board meeting to view potential locations from Lionshead to
Ford Park as integrated into the future artist residency studio. This will be incorporated into the
forthcoming AIPP Strategic Plan.
• Board reviews Map of TOV owned lands/property from town boundaries
• Future lot 10 – Evergreen/Peter Knobel proposal
10. Meeting adjourned.
