t <br /> 10 ' <br /> II <br /> in art installation is in the blueprint stage of a facility. <br /> The procedure for selecting an artist is done through a selection • <br /> 1 committee. A good committee is made up of varied members . i .e . , <br /> for the library art project the following types of people could <br /> be appointed: a practicing visual artist, a city council member, <br /> two members of the Arts and Humanities council , a member of the <br /> 1 Friends of the Library, a local business person and a local , <br /> citizen. <br /> II The artist should not be asked to compromise his :art to fit <br /> design needs . It is best if the committe can view actual works • <br /> of the artists rather than slides . Slides may be viewed in the <br /> II Artist Registry then individual artists may be invited to submit <br /> proposals . <br /> • <br /> When an open call for art is done, the committee should be <br /> 1 specific on what they are looking for and an amount budgeted for <br /> the art. A notice for an open call may be placed in arts <br /> magazines and local papers . A disclaimer may be put in <br /> b specifying that the artist must be from Boulder county. A <br /> self-addressed , stamped envelope should be requested for return <br /> of slides and other material the artist sends the committee. <br /> II The committee should investigate receiving in-kind donations from <br /> local businesses . i .e . , A frame shop might donate framing of a <br /> painting thereby reducing the cost of the art . Public <br /> I recognition of the in-kind donations must be made in some <br /> manner. The committee should take advantage of the- loyalty and <br /> pride citizens show in a small town to reduce costs of acquiring <br /> 1 and installing the art. <br /> The art project should be kept in the press as much as possible <br /> to keep local interest high. Local newspapers may be willing to <br /> Idonate in-kind services for display advertising. <br /> Art proposals from artists should be very specific and include <br /> IIall costs . i .e. , travel expenses , plaques for the art, etc . <br /> TOPICS FOR CONSIDERATION <br /> 1 The art selection committee for the Library. art installation <br /> project should be discussed at next meeting. <br /> 11 Possible grants available for local community arts and humanities <br /> projects should be reviewed. <br /> P Volunteers for collecting and reviewing the returned citizen <br /> surveys should be named . <br /> 11 <br />
