her sculptures.

3.4. Summer 2024 public art murals.
• Vail Valley Foundation (VVF) & GoPro Mountain Games 2024 commissioned mural:
• The Board agrees to continue the 2023 plan going forward for the VVF to install a mural at the same site in the
Vail Village Transportation Center (VV TRC) in conjunction with GoPro Mountain Games.
• The Board requests: the VVF prep the wall with their own manpower/materials in advance, have the mural
proposal presented and approved by the AIPP Board as the work is on TOV property, and include details about
the artist and mural in the ad vitrine adjacent to the mural as previously discussed. Logos will not be acceptable in
the artwork, but in the ad vitrine.
• AIPP/TOV Colorado Mural Project:
• Molly will engage with Colorado muralists to continue the program established by AIPP in 2019.
• The Board agrees the P1 entrance at the main stairs at VV TRC is a prime location. The new Logan sculptures
have created a great visual art setting and this entrance is an ideal location to include a mural.
• Lindsea suggests the selected muralist be the summer artist in residence with additional community activations.

• Update on Art Studio: the project is on pace with pre-construction meetings. Exploring possible geothermal
