November 12, 1S99 Mr. Gaynor met with the individuals who had submitted requests to paint a
mural an the walls of either CTA or Union Pacific (Metra). He shared with them the guidelines
for public art projects and explained the process. Nothing was voted on or finalized -just
information given.
A copy of the public art project guidelines and a previous agreement with CTA (1999) to paint a
mural, was distributed. With help from the Legal and Risk Management Departments, Mr.

participant to have r S 1 million insurance policy), with a hold harmless agreemenL
Ms. Curley distributed letters written by the 1995 PAC Chair Nancy Kotler to Mavor Lorraine
and Dave Barber of public works (1995) regarding mural painting. After discussion it was
decided the staff would combine the mural painting guidelines and certain text from Nancy
Kotler's letter to Dave Barber in order to have a complete and more specific procedure in place.
A draft of the new mural painting guidelines will be discussed at the January meeting for the
PAC's review.
Ms. Curley shared a copy of Lu ise Cutler's drawing of her proposed mural painting. Mr.
Hausman suggested that once the guidelines are finalized a PAC member be assigned to work
with each person requesting to paint a mural to gather information and bring to the committee for
discussion. It was noted that in Ms. Cutler's proposal she mentions panel installation, which
may require special permission. Her proposal also lists the cost range of the project at S1,500 -
$2,5QU. There is no money appropriated for mural painting projects. Although funds may not
be available, the PAC could work with the individuals to raise money or find other funding
resources.
Ms. Curley mill send a letter to Mr. Tone Lee. McGaw YMCA Executive Director. regarding the
maintenance,, removal of the mural painting on Lake Street near Sherman tataached). She sill
also respond to Ms. Cutler's proposal (attached).
Discussion followed regarding a process to replace a mural once the time has expired (sending
letters asking artist to remove/paint over). Ms. Curley will contact an artist to inquire
information on mural painting preparation and restoration to possibly add to the guidelines. Ms.
Ockwell will look into possible partnerships with Home Depot, paint companies, etc. who may
be willing to donate materials/funds to artists. Mr. Hausman %ill try to get a copy of the Chicago
mural group's guidelines and materials.
At 7:05pm the PAC meeting continued in studio 101.
Barbara Goldsmith, a board member of the Skokie Sculpture Park who has agreed to serve on the
PAC Public Art Performance and Events sub -committee, spoke of the park's history, fund-
raising and selection procedures. Selection of artists is achieved by a combination of public calls
for artists and visits to Navy Pier where works often become available in October.
Mr. Robinson discussed his African -American musicians of Evanston project- He is in the
material -gathering and fund-raising stage Pad is working toward 501-c3 status. He has also
begun an update of the Evanston outdoor sculpture reap with Tony Kelly, who offered his
photography services, and Gail Struve. Whey plan to update the map and to include a listing of
such categories as architectural elements and school murals. Mr. Robinson hopes to defray the
cost of the map by enlisting the support of Evanston printers and businesses. The plan is to print
10,000 copies of the map.
Ms. Struve pointed out the importance of installing lighting for the Butterfield sculpture in
Oldberg Park so that it can be seen better from the street, especially at night.
Ms. Curley distributed blueprints of the proposed parking garage for the Church St. Plaza and
members present focused on the inclusion of art work integrated into the south face of the
building and the pressing need to develop a prospectus for that enterprise. The meeting then
moved back to studio 106 to discuss such a plan with Mr. Gaynor and Mr. Mickenberg, who

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.

Chair report
C. Curley introduced C. Giddings and E. Williams -Hays. All present members introduced
themselves.
J. 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.
J. Hausman said Eileen Volcanus spoke of the sensitivity to public image and political
persuasiveness. She also spoke about communicating with the business community, offering
thanks, and gave clear ideas in ways of support for the PAC. J. Hausman said JoAnn Vena spoke
about the interest and openness of the Illinois Arts Council. and the PAC should make its projects
known. J. Hausman said Ronnie Hartfield. spoke of the importance of multicuhuralism and the
development of the arts in the community.
J. Hausman said other issues raised at the retreat were the ethnic makeup of the EAC, the
involvement of people from different disciplines, and business and community involvement.
J. Hausman said he hoped the FAC would follow the pattern PAC is initiating b} inviting people
to work on sub -committees.
D. Gaynor said the difference between the EAC and the PAC is that D. 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. Hausman said the PAC should put together a list of projects to do, and organize to talk with
prospective artist.
Committee Renorts
Public A{t-C tv and Community s _jag
L. Saviano talked with Julie Hamos regarding the viaduct repair money. D. Gaynor said the CTA
received $10 or S I I million marked for Evanston. L. Saviano also spoke to Dennis Marino
regarding the Chicago Avenue Project. It is stalled in the city council waiting approval. L.
Saviano said Marino is trying to get the project in the Capital Improvement plan. L. Saviano is
also trying to set up a meeting with the Hill Developers. L. Saviano said the PAC needs someone
in the department to be a liaison.
D. Gaynor said the PAC might want to send a letter to Roger Crum regarding Fountain Square as
a project.

utilities. All these are carryover issues for each location.
J, Hausman wants to get the business community atmscted to the project This project Mruld w
in with M. 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. Gaynor's offer to move ahead on this project. Also the PAC

from the City.

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.

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 meeting adjourned at 8:45 PM. The next meeting is October 12,1999.

Public Art Committee
Minutes of June 8, 1999 .,
D. Gaynor emphasized the importance of coordinating our planning with the preparation of the
City's 2000 Budget. T. Kelly reported on his efforts in developing a Public Art Video. He
expressed enthusiasm for developing video material documenting Evanston's public art,
suggesting that finished footage, stills and documentation be stored in a permanent Arts Council
archive.

biographies of PAC members and associate members. C. Curley and J. Hausman will solicit this
information. T. Kelly described a project in which he, his son, L. Saviano and R. Forman will
