The meeting Adjourned at 9:15 PM. A special meeting was scheduled for December 14 at 6pm to discuss the agreement and requirements for the mural sites. "Draft — not approved" "it THE ORF-ENING OF FVANSTnN It is commonsensical to observe that ti= is a satin -mg feeling when living or \%x)rk1t= in spaces that are visually interesting and attractive. In these days of technological and: industrial activity, we yearn for more natural spaces and experiences that will enable contemplation and focus upon a more quiet, reflecti%T setting in which tvc can be in to=-h with ourselves and ideas of beauty and our hummiity. The way we think and act in relation to a community is connected with its %visual appearance. What we aspire to is an appearance that is visually inviting and representative of the interests and life style of those who inhabit the space. The end in view is not to be found in the replication of sameness: rather, it is to be found in the realization of differences in ways that fit and relate to more general ideals and feelings_ What we seek is a general sense of unity within a pattern of diverse solutions. We of the Public An Commimte are setting out to link the work of our Committee to a larger concept of Evanston and the environment it ereaus. In the minds of many. "public art" is seen as the range of seneptural forms that can be placed in public spaces. We would agree! But, public an is more than that! A key development in contemporary art involves the expansion of the very idea of art so that artists are now directing their energies to public spaces and the environ-cent itself. This is what the artist, Piet Mondrian, referred to in stating: " This corsequertce brings us, in a future perhaps remote, towards the end of act as a thing separated from our surrounding environment, which is the actual plastic reality. But this end is at the same time a new beginning. Axt will not only continue but will realize itself more and more. By the unification of architecture sculpture and painting, a new plastic reality rill be created." What we on the Public Art Committee are calling for a new dialogue in which citizens, city officials, artists and architects direct their attention to the garden environments of Evanston. We are calling our project "The Greening of Evanston." The initial forms of this project will be The Gardens of Evanston., What we want to do is create greater conscious awareness of our gardens, sponsor particula. garden projects, and make possible the addition of sculpture in garden settings. The term garden has many meanings. To most people, a garden implies some sort of invitation - flowers, trees, perhaps a lawn - and some degree of enclosure or definition. In some cases, a garden may be relatively small, enclosed space with natural elements non controlled; in others, the garden is park -like with natural forms allowed to grow and develop in a non natural state. In some cases, we have gardens for sculpture, in others, one thinks in teams of sculpture for the garden. The thoughts now being introduced will entertain the idea of sculpture as a garden or the garden as a sculpture. The larger view we are setting forth would move us to entertain the idea of Evanston as a Garden. k' Proposed Programs: The Greenineof Evanson I.

Hausman passed out copies of the Evanston Art Council (EAC) retreat agenda and expounded on the items discussed at the retreat. J. Hausman said he was impressed with the EAC. It offered a clear and articulate vision for the future but the specifics of the changes do not convey the strength and community commitment reflected by the EAC. The three presenters. Eileen Volcanus (Illinois Alliance of the Arts), JoAnn Vena (Illinois Arts Council), and Rani Hatfield (consultant at Art Institute) gave a broad overview of the support available from various sources.

Mickenberg did not see the EAC as a working membership. Adding 6 members to the EAC would place more work on the limited staff. M. Sward asked what does the staff do for the EAC. D. Gaynor said any e%vnt that is promoted through the EAC (i.e. Arts Camp. Arts Skills, the festivals. Starlight concerts, and the taking of the minutes.) J. Hausman said D. Mickenberg views the EAC as an advocacy. and policy - making body responding to and communicating with all organizations in Evanston. D. Gaynor said a project for the PAC could be Fountain Square. The City wants to restore it, and there is possibly some money. The only question is the status of the war memorial. T. Kelly asked what is the cast of restoration. D. Gaynor said more than'h million and he is trying to get city funding. C. Curie} asked if it inappropriate to move the war memorial to Patriot Park. D. Gaynor said that is an issue to discuss. C. Giddings said from an historical r��r--Live the columns were not with the original structure of Fountain Square. J.

Robinson mapping Evarrston's public an for tourism. C. Giddings suggesvW using a theme for better marketing. C. Curley said she understood the appeal of a theme, but the PAC must look at what is available from the artists. M. Sward said "E-SITE` is a clever caw hword. and if enough sculptures are done, it will become a theme within itself. C_ Curley said May is Sculpture month by declaration of the Mayor and nix -.be morn time is needed to plan and get a variety of artist to send in proposals. J. Hausman said he appreciated D.

Staff Rom D. Gaynor said there is one project that falls under Public Art. With the actual agreement of the redevelopment project downtown, as he understands it the ordinance says where there is municipal money in a project, the Public Art ordinance becomes effective_ Therefore, the garage in the Hill development will have public art. It has not been determined if public money will be placed in the second garage or whether Sears will build it as part of its project. r..- DRAFT'; It is very tentative and them have been no serious discussions with respect to agreements - There will be no serious discussions until the 1=3 has been secured. L. Saviano asked is the garage the only thing the PAC will work on. Is there anything else in the ordinance that says developers have to give Lack to the community as far as beautification. D. Gaynor said the ordinance decs not speak to that at all. Only up to 1% may be spent on the project. M. Sward asked is that I -percentage of what the city puts in or the total cost of the project? D. Gaynor said up rz I % of what the City spends on the project and he reiterated up to 1 %. C. Curley asked does that apply to projects of S 1 million dollars or more. D. Gaynor said he has to reread the orda=ce. M. Robinson asked in terms of the garage, are there any plans for the CTA to wvrk = the viaducts that lead to the theatre. D. Gaynor said that there is money given to the CTA uith language it should be used in Evanston. L. Saviano asked how much money. D. Gaynor said he did not know the exact amount. J. Hausman said there are two pertinent parts in the ordinance. He read sections 7-16-3 titled Public Art Fund and 7-15-5 titled Public Art Project.. D. Mirlumberg said the PAC should not consider just advocacy in the areas tha:. there is direct allocation, but also in working with the Hill development. J. Hausman said he would defer discussion on public art in the Hill development. D. Mickenberg said it is phenomenal the things the PAC is doing in terms of strums and organization. D. Mickenberg said there have been request from alderman to get the process started in relation to the Hill development. D. Mickenberg brought up the subject of the WPA murals in Evanston as a project for the PAC to work on. There is no research on the murals in Chicago or the Archives of American Az-- The murals deserve research and preservation. D. Micktnberg is looking for collaborative ventures for between the schools, and the EAC for conservation, development of budgeting needs for the murals. M. Robinson said he has a book of all the schools that have artwork. J. Hausman said the PAC would take on the project. E. Ockwell's committee will organize a small group of people that will focus on the project and work closely with D. Mickenberg. G. Struve said there is a binder with slides of all the artwork in the schools but site did not remember seeing murals. D. Gaynor said he would see what he could do about getting the binder. D. Mickenberg said he took the PAC budget and passed it on to J. Wertymer who is head of the budget committee for the EAC. After the retreat he will be in contact with J. Wertymer to fund out how to proceed. J. Hausman said he felt uneasy because the 99/00 budget made no provisions for activities that might be generated by the PAC. J. Hausman said he put together a simple budget governed by two factors. He took a range of things he felt were already incorporated into what PAC was doing. He said the PAC would want a retreat to work on developing a PAC document that would be out the long-range plans for PAC. J. Hausman asked for 51,000 for the retreat, 52,200 for four artists and receptions of forums dealing with public art, and for exhibitions at the Noyes gallery. DRAFT J. Hausman said he wants to build an the broad structure of the PAC. On the whole. the PAC would identify associates for the sub commine s; develop a planning docz=ent: pLM on a city wide symposium on public arc.; nwakor focus groups; and look to fundraising W augment the 1% of public art funds - In the Public Art in the City and Communit}• Planning Committee, d w PAC would develop an Evanston map highlighting distiatzve areas and focal points: institute formal contacts with the city planning commission; and monitor the 1-pa=ntagc ordinance. In the Art in Public Places Committee. the PAC would document existing art in public places; have a roster of proposed public art projects including artist and architw collaborations; initiate change with prospect wrc patrons in the community. This would always be done in coordination with the EAC_ In the Public Art in Education committee the PAC would liaison with District 65 and 202. D. Mickenberg said one additional item related to conservation of works is the budget. There is a conservation fund. D. Mickenberg said he would have the contract between the City and the Donna Gamble foundation for funds set up spedfiicaliy for Butterfield. D. Gaynor said he has received the information and the maintenance recommendations. J. Hausman said the PAC needs to get other people in the City who has expertise to work with the committee. L. Saviano said the PAC needs a web site. D. hiickenberg said there is a possibility of plugging into the library or the Collaboratory at Northwestern. The Collaboratory is a S 1.8 million -dollar grant from Ameritech to partner with the community. D. Mickenberg also suggested a 3-D tour on -sine. In terms of timing the PAC aright be able to do something on-line with no money. D. Gaynor said the primary concern of a web site is day - to - day maintenance. D. Mickcnberg said the job of the Collaboratory is to run the web site. L. Saviano said her project has been the Chicago Avenue Corridor Project; getting public art as an integration among the corridor. She has talked to Dennis Marino about grant opportunities. A possibility is joining forces with Design Evanston. T. Kelly said he could talk to Jan Schakowsky about Illinois FIRST funds. D. Gaynor said there needs to be a plan. He suggested that grant monies could be used for a plan. J. Hausman said the PAC needs to develop a list of other members of respective task force. Group identity is important to show broad involvement in a comprehensive plan. M. Sward said her concern is budget. She is not dear when the budget goes into effect. D. Gaynor said the budget is in process now. The fiscal year is March 1- February 28. M. Sward asked when is the budget proposed and voted on? D. Gaynor said the budget goes to the City Council after January 1, and there are many meetings to go over the budget. T. Kelly asked is there some suggestion that there is some money available between now and March 1, 2000? D. Gaynor said there is no budget money available, but he did make a commitment to find some money for the EAC. He said next year the PAC would be a line item in the budget. D. Gaynor said there is advocacy in the ordinance and that the EAC and the PAC should go out and seek general funding. 4 DRAFT J. Hausman said that at the June 1999 meeting D. Gaynor was searching the status of furl for the PAC. D. Gaynor slid for public an there is no balance, but he is still looking. Tbc are grant funds for Butterfield. L. Saviano asked does that include art in the library' D_ Gaynor said that although the City owns the hbrary, it lets the library board run it. The h1nary is totally separate. D. Mickenberg said there is a question of whether the EAC sh-a"Ed make a recommendation to the Library about what to do with the funds from the sale of paintings. D. Mickenberg said maybe the EAC should make a recommendation that a cultural piece of art is being taken out of the library, and maybe the hbrary vrould consider some money to return the art, so the City does not have a sense of loss. D. Mickenberg asked is this an issue to rase. J. Hausman said that first the PAC needs to form a committee to talk about the issue, then put together adjunct vendors to work on the committee. M. Sward said she broughr up the budget because the Public Art in Education committee would send teacher packets to the school with a lesson plan idea with ways to L.,...r,..r:r public art in to the curricuh m. D. Mickenberg suggested coordinating with I -Arts and the Teachers Institute. J. Hausman said he would develop a simple form where members ccald send recommendations to the appropriate person or send recommendations for partiripatk= in any committee. T. Kelly said he would like a lock cabinet provided for the PAC archives. J. Hausman asked is there any space in the balding for record keeping? D. Gaynor said that is a wonderful idea. T. Kelly said in the next pa i t there would be an updated roster of members, and update an retreat at neat meeting. J. Hausman suggested that each sub committee have a zncet. 9 before the next PAC meeting Also, J. Hausman said he or C. Curley should be present at the sub - committee meetings.

The next meeting of the PAC will be on Tuesday, September 14, at 7:00 p.m. The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. Draft: Not Approved )!
