Sward STAFF: Jonathon Glus, Director, Arts Council C,hair Report: John Engman welcomed the committee and asked for approval of the February minutes. Chic Curley moved for approval. A seconded by Elizabeth Ockwell was unanimously approved. Staff Report: Jonathon Glus reported that the Artskills program is currently being developed, and he invited any program suggestions. Jerry Hausman offered to participate in a discussion regarding program development. Jerry also discouraged making small items again this year. Jonathon then reported that the Library Board intended to hold the remaining monies from the budget for the Richard Hunt sculpture, which was a gift from the estate of Edward A. Johnson. Jonathon further explained that he had not yet in January reconciled the expenses for the project and the Library Board questioned the use of'$5500 fbr administrative purposes. Nancy Kotler stated that the monies should be held for public art or public art education at the library, regardless of which body is caretaker of the remaining fiends. Jerry Hausrn,in suggested that both bodies have a shared commitment to public art at the Library, and that the remaining monies can be earmarked for public art. John Engman said that there are two central questions: who controls the money and who owns and maintains the public art. He suggested that he draft a letter to the Library Board explaining the PAC's commitment to art at the Library. John also commented that this dialogue may take a few months. Jonathon then presented to the members a request from Donna Zarbin Byrne of an additional $1500 far plantings at the Fire Station site. Nancy Kotler reminded the committee that the PAC had enthusiastically endorsed this artist and proposal, and that the PAC had already committed an additional $1500 beyond the original contract. Kotler said, "this is troubling, this is a precedent which we can and should not set." Jerre 1IallSlllan said that. "it is,ln issue of'prufessiunaliseti and reasonable expectatluns tin the part let the iirtiSt." Dino Rubinson said that independcrlt contractors in other fields have to assume the loss if they do not correctly budget during the proposal and contract stage. Jonathon Glus stated that the project had only been altered slightly since the proposal stage - well within the boundaries of artistic discretion - and lie had been made aware of all changes. He explained that the benches originally proposed were removed far security reasons and that the walkway was poured in a slightly different forni to accommodate the bernis. Dino Robinson made .1 motion that Ms. Zarbin-llyrne's MILIest be denied and that any substantial changes be approved by the PAC. The motion was seconded by Jerry I IauSman. Approval was unaniniotls.

Jonathon explained that the Butterfield fabrication process was on schedule, and the dedication details will be available at the April meeting. Chie Curley reported that a fabulous exhibition of sculpture by five artists will be installed on the interior and exterior of Noyes. Jonathon asked the committee to confirm its commitment to the Larry Paul King proposal. John Engman stated that the proposal should be held until after the construction of the entertainment complex, and that the proposed piece may be part of an inaugural project. The committee also agreed that no monies were available for downtown artwork, however staff was encouraged to place works if the cost was nominal. hj= Gail Struve explained that the public art map ad hoc committee had developed a program in which a map, slide packets of public art in Evanston and a catalog may be provided to educators in Evanston. Gail presented a slide presentation of artworks included in the packet as well as a draft map. Dino Robinson congratulated Gail, and suggested that postcards may be an inexpensive method of marketing the program while raising funds. Dino offered to check with (lie Historical Society regarding their method of making slides inexpensively, Nancy Kotler congratulated the hard work and stated that the map is a tremendous education tool, as well as a marketing/tourism tool. Nancy also suggested that a realty company may be a good source to sponsor printing costs. John Engman suggested that other such maps could be developed for architectural details in Evanston and stained glass in Evanston. John Engman asked Gail what was the next step. Gail said that she would make the suggested changes and bring cost estimates for printing to the April meeting. John Engman thanked the committee for hard work and a fruitful meeting. Dino Robinson moved to adjourn. Elizabeth OckweIl seconded, with unanimous approval.

Curley, J. Engman, E. Ockwell, D. Robinson, M. Sward, and associate member G. Struve; Members Absent: J. Hausman, E. Lyon, N. Kotler; Staff Present: Jonathon Glus, Evanston Arts Council Director Chair's Report: John Engman stated that his goal for the meeting was to select a project to focus on this " academic year" aside from Church St. complex. A priority is an education/ outreach project. Staff Report: Jonathon Glus reported that the Artskills program event remarkably well. The resulting murals will be installed in Evanston CTA stations in October. Pitch: Dino Robinson distributed copies of articles about the PITCH African American Historic district. Robinson explained the broad history and goals of PITCH, and explained that the resulting historic district will not have geographic boundaries such as the two existing historic architectural districts. The district will include a variety of scattered sites which are historically Important to the African American community, therefore Evanston as a whole community. At the conclusion of D. Robinson's presentation, J. Engnian asked how PAC can help PITCH. Robinson responded that flour parks are named after prominent African Americans: Twiggs, Beck, Butler, and Perry. Robinson also suggested that PAC with the Fleetwood Jourdain (FWJD) Art Guild begin the FWJD sculpture garden. J. Glus explained that Twiggs park recently went through remodeling and the committee wants to see public art there. He also explained that the Ecology Center is being enlarged with possible upgrades to the canal bridge and the boat launch. M.Sward commented that the Twiggs Park area wuuld be a high profile community area in Which a public art work could reach a number ofdiverse community groups, such as a design coilipetition ti)r the boat IaLIIICl}. F. Ockwell said that an ephemeral artwork incorporated into the community gardens could be wonderful. M. Sward also suggested a design competition for the historical markers to be used by PITCH. He suggested Martin Puryear may be a good candidate for a project at Twiggs. J. Gnus explained that the Evanston Arts Council's Black history exhibition will be about the works of African American architects and may include nientoring and workshops. He suggested there may be a tie-in. J. Engntan listed the fallowing; possible projects and actions: 1.) Meeting at FWJD with discussion with the Art Guild; 2.) M. Sward will research the address of Martin Puyeer: 3.) J. Glus will bring more information on the Black architects show to the October meeting; 4.) D. Robinson will bring the motion of a plaque design competition to PITCH; 5.) J. Glus will contact the Parks superintendent and the Ecology Center director to discuss opportunities for permanent and ephemeral public art at Twiggs, and report back in October. Finally J. GIus suggested that M.W. Burns may be an artist whose architectural art work may be an interesting link between the architectural show and the parks. Regarding the 14 July minutes M. Sward asked her name be removed as present. With that correction, C. Curley moved for approval which was unanimous. Submitted by Jonathon Glus, Evanston Arts Council Director 9 September, 1998
