• Greg believes there will be a cost savings if we look at Fall construction in tandem with
another Ford Park construction project.
• Some cost savings will change the interior of the space a bit.
• A majority of the roll forward AIPP account may be used for construction.
• Greg will work with Molly on the interior finishes and functionality of the studio space.
• The studio will ultimately be the much-needed resource as the first visual art space in Vail.
• Molly discusses fundraising for programming and potential naming possibilities @ the
studio, as well as sourcing a lodging partner.
• There is a need to ease the process of accepting charitable donations to AIPP with the
Finance Dept. including: credit cards, QR codes, Venmo, artinvail.com site and other
platforms.
• The Board will meet to outline the fundraising strategy and levels.
• Greg remarks AIPP has a high-level presence on social media & TOV postings, but
perhaps not getting the recognition for it.
• An update to Council is scheduled for March.
3.6 Review of proposed sculpture donation to the Town of Vail public art collection
• Review Thomas Jefferson bronze sculpture in alignment with Donation Application.
• Board motions to deny the sculpture based on several art selection criteria (3, 4 and 5) for
accepting donated works.
• Donation Application
• Board is grateful for consideration of the Town of Vail’s public art collection.
4. Coordinator Updates

vitrine since they will not be working with a Colorado artist. AIPP will approve mural concept
at a future meeting.

during the Mexico City orchestra residency in June. There is potential to work with the
Sebastian and the new GM John D’Angelo who has met AIPP artist Emilio Garcia
Plascencia (https://www.garciaplascencia.com/ - Golf and Nordic Center work). Emilio has a
body of work at their property as well.
• Betty Ford Alpine Gardens meeting to discuss collaboration for AIR programming and
