Executive Summary This report provides an update on current permanent public art projects: • Chestnut/I-5 Underpass • Veterans Memorial Park • Barrio Traffic Circle Explanation & Analysis Presently, there are three permanent public art projects in various planning stages. Chestnut/I-5 Underpass An artist was selected for the Chestnut/I-5 Underpass project by the Public Art Advisory Committee on Jan. 4, 2024. Contract negotiations between the artist, the city and Caltrans are in progress. Once a contract is executed, next steps will include community engagement to help inform the design for the artwork. Veterans Memorial Park After narrowing down 35 artist proposals to four finalists at its first meeting on April 25, 2024, the Public Art Advisory Subcommittee will meet again to select the artist or artist team who will create permanent public art for Veterans Memorial Park. The four finalists will present at the June 12 subcommittee meeting. These presentations will focus on the artists’ qualifications, not specific ideas for the project. ARTS COMMISSION Staff Report June 6, 2024 Item #3 Page 2 of 2 Barrio Traffic Circle A Call for Artist Qualifications was released on April 26, 2024, with a June 24 submission deadline. Artists applications that meet the submission requirements will be reviewed by a Public Art Advisory Subcommittee this summer, with the goal to select a final artist to design the project. Fiscal Analysis Funding for permanent public art is 1% of each project’s construction budget: • Chestnut/I-5 Underpass budget is $400,000 • Veterans Memorial Park budget is $450,000 • Barrio Traffic Circle budget is $110,000 Next Steps None.
