[Public Arts Advisory Board on March 22, 2023.]
[00:00:06]
GOOD EVENING. I'D LIKE TO CALL TO ORDER THE WILY PART PUBLIC ARTS ADVISORY BOARD REGULAR MEETING TODAY IS MARCH 22ND, AND THE CURRENT TIME IS 6 13. CAROL, WILL YOU TAKE ATTENDANCE? ANITA. PRESENT. CHRISTINA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, SO I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY SHE'S NOT UM MISS BELLA CHAIR. PRESIDENT JOHN . HERE. MM NERVA HERE AND JOSEPH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF U I L SO HE IS SUPER BUSY. SO WE DO HAVE A QUORUM. WE HAVE FOUR. SO WE'LL START WITH ITEM ONE DISCUSSION REGARDING WILEY, PUBLIC ART BANNERS AND PROMOTIONAL ITEMS. THIS WAS A PROJECT FOR, UM, CHAIRS, STEVE. SO WE WILL NEED TO JUST BRING IT BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING. NEXT DISCUSSION ITEM TO UPDATE REGARDING THE MUNICIPAL TRAILS REVERIE ART PROJECT. UM ALL OF OUR ENGINEERING AND, UM, BUILDING INSPECTION PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR REVERIE. AND THEY PLAN ON STARTING CONSTRUCTION ON THE BASE ALONG WITH THE EXTRA, UM METAL THAT WILL HOLD UP ALL OF THE DIFFERENT AREAS. UM, SOMETIME THIS SUMMER. AND IT WILL BE INSTALLED IN SEPTEMBER.
AND I WILL GIVE YOU A NOTIFICATION. WHEN THE INSTALLATION STARTS. IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS, MAYBE EVEN A WEEK BECAUSE THEY WILL BE DONE IN SECTIONS WITH THE MOSAICS.
SHE HAS RECEIVED THREE PAYMENTS THUS FAR, ONE FOR THE PERMITTING ONE FOR THE CERTIFIED TEXAS ENGINEER PLANS AND THEN, OF COURSE, ONE WHEN SHE SIGNED THE CONTRACT, SO THE NEXT ONE WILL BE WHEN THEY ARE AT MIDWAY. WILL THE PUBLIC BE INVITED TO WATCH THE INSTALLATION? AND WILL SOMETHING BE DONE THEN? YES FOR SURE, BECAUSE IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH . IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE SCULPTURE THAT SIT DOWN AND THEN IT'S DONE. THIS WILL BE DONE IN PORTIONS ACROSS THE FRONT AND BACK, SO IT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE INTERESTING FOR PEOPLE TO SEE AS WELL AS ART STUDENTS. WAS SHE, THE ARTIST THAT SAID THAT SHE LIKES TO INVITE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY TO HELP HER PUT THINGS IN OR TO PARTICIPATE. NO, THAT WAS A DIFFERENT ONE. NO, UM THERE IS AN A STUDENT THAT WANTS TO HELP AND SHE HAD SENT IT THE LAST MEETING THAT SHE WOULD MAKE THE PROJECT AVAILABLE SO THAT SHE COULD HELP IN SOME WAY, BUT THAT'S ALL. ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO DISCUSSION ITEM THREE DISCUSSION REGARDING A CALL FOR ARTISTS FOR THE BLACK LAND PRAIRIE WALKING TRAILS, FISCAL YEAR 23 24. IN YOUR PACKET. UM YOU HAVE A TIMELINE, BUT I'VE SET UM, A REVISED TIMELINE IN FRONT OF YOU. NOT IN THE PACKET, BUT TO THE RIGHT.
AND THIS IS THE ONE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO USE. IT HAS THE BUDGET. AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BUDGET, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. IT STARTS OUT WITH A PROJECT AMOUNT OF 95,000. 5000 IS KEPT FOR CONTINGENCY PURPOSES . SO IT LEAVES 90,000 FOR TWO PIECES OF ART. UM THAT CAN BE DONE WITH ONE BEING LARGER THAN THE OTHER ONE AND DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS OR THEY CAN BOTH BE FOR THE SAME PRICE POINT. I WANTED TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM YOU ALL AS TO WHAT TYPE OF THEME YOU WANT TO USE. I KNOW WE HAVE THE BLACK LAND PRAIRIE. BUT THERE WERE FLOWERS AND, UM AND
[00:05:03]
THE NATURAL HABITAT, THE PRAIRIE AND ANIMALS THAT HABITAT ATED THE AREA BACK WHEN THE NATIVE AMERICANS WERE HERE, AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE NATIVE AMERICAN TOOLS AND POTTERY AND LOTS OF THINGS THERE THAT WE CAN , UM START WITH. UM THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING PROJECTS, SO THERE'S REALLY NO RIGHT OR WRONG. TO WHERE WE START, BUT I WANTED TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FOR THAT. AND ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BUDGET. THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAD SO SINCE WE'RE GOING TO BE THIS WILL BE KIND OF BE THE FIRST SMALL PIECES AS A PART OF THIS ONGOING PROJECT. UM DO WE NEED BEFORE WE PUT OUT THE CALL TO ARTISTS DO WE NEED TO DISCUSS LIKE ANY ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE UNIFORM ACROSS THE BOARD MOVING FORWARD, LIKE ARE WE GONNA ASK FOR THE SAME MATERIAL TO BE USED? LIKE, YOU KNOW, IS EVERYTHING GOING TO BE A BRONZE SCULPTURE? IS EVERYTHING GONNA IS THERE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE UNIFORM? GENERALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE LEAVE IT UP TO THE ARTIST, BUT WE PUT IN THE CALL THAT IT HAS TO BE A SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE IN AN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT. SO UM, IT COULD BE STONED. IT COULD BE, UM, IT COULD BE BRONZE. UH, IT AND THERE'S JUST A LOT OF VARIABLES IN THE TYPE OF MATERIALS THEY USE. MY ONLY QUESTION WAS THAT. AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT WANTING TO TRY TO MAKE IT UNIFORM IF WE'RE IF WE'RE OKAY AS A BOARD FOR DIFFERENT MATERIALS FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS GO IN. THAT'S FINE THEN I DON'T HAVE. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM THAT I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO YOU ALL, BUT I THINK HAVING DIFFERENT MATERIALS MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING, LIKE A PIECE OF POTTERY MIGHT BE DONE IN A MATERIAL THAT REPRESENTED THE POTTERY, UM, WHERE AN ANIMAL COULD BE DONE IN RESIN OR, UM, BRONZE OR STONE, SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE ARTIST AND THE SELECTION COMMITTEE AND WHO THEY CHOOSE AS THEIR, UM, SEMIFINAL ARTISTS. BECAUSE USUALLY ARTISTS WORK MOSTLY IN THE SAME MEDIUM. THEY DON'T WORK IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT MEDIUMS. SO IF BRONZE ARTIST IS CHOSEN, HE'S MORE THAN LIKELY GOING TO DO A BRONZE PIECE AND ETCETERA. IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY CONSIDERATION OR NEED FOR POWER? DO WHAT WILL THERE BE ANY CONSIDERATION OR ANY NEED FOR POWER LIKE LIGHTING? OH, YES, THE POWERS ALREADY OUT THERE. UM AND IT JUST NEEDS ITS ITS AT THE PACE THAT WE ORIGINALLY DID LAST YEAR. AND IT JUST NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. ALL OF THE PIECES ARE GOING TO BE ON THE OUTER SIDE OF THE WALKING TRAILS BECAUSE THE INNER SIDE IS GOING TO BE STREETLIGHTS. EVENTUALLY YOU KNOW, WALKING LIGHTS SO THAT IT'S UM, A LITTLE SAFER FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AT NIGHT. SO UM, THERE'LL BE SPREAD OUT AND I WILL GET WITH, UM THE PARK'S MANAGER, AND WE'LL WALK IT BACK THERE. UM WE CAN PUT THEM CLOSE TOGETHER AND JUST WORK EACH YEAR AT MORE, OR WE CAN PUT THEM SEPARATED THROUGHOUT AND THEN GO BACK AND PUT ADDITIONAL ONES IN BETWEEN. TOTALLY UP TO YOU ALL. THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAD AGAIN. I'M I'M TRYING TO THINK OF IT FROM THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT, SO ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO MAINTAIN ANY CONSISTENCY IF WE THINK ABOUT WE TYPICALLY DO LIKE AN INFORMATIONAL PLAQUE FOR EACH SCULPTURE. SOMETHING THAT I KNOW THAT I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE, BUT YOU GUYS DID THAT ? THAT AUDIO RECORDING THING WHERE EACH ARTIST SPEAKS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PIECES AROUND THE CITY. UM WHEN WE DO THOSE PLAQUES LIKE FROM THE BEGINNING ON, COULD WE ADD LIKE A Q R CODE OR SOMETHING TO THE PLAQUE SO THAT WHEN PEOPLE COME UP, THEY COULD SCAN IT, IT WOULD LINK THEM DIRECTLY TO THAT SURE WOULD BE EASIER FOR THEM TO ACCESS. IT HAS TO BE DONE ON A MOBILE PHONE . IT CAN'T BE DONE ON A COMPUTER AT HOME AND HAS TO BE DONE ON A MOBILE PHONE. AND WE CAN DO THAT FOR SURE. JUST A THOUGHT. SO AS FAR AS LOCATION OR SPACING.WHATEVER WE DECIDE. AS A GROUP NOW WILL CARRY THROUGH. FOR HOWEVER LONG MHM SO IF WE SPACE THEM A LITTLE BIT FURTHER APART THAN THERE WILL BE FEWER FEWER OF THEM. AND PERPETUITY. IF YOU WILL, YOU KNOW, THERE WILL BE MORE LIMITATION. UM AS FAR AS HOW MANY WE CAN DO OVER TIME.
[00:10:02]
VERSUS DOING THEM CLOSER TOGETHER. YEAH OR ARE WE SPACE AND REALLY FAR APART, AND THEN YOU CAN PUT THEM KIND OF IN BETWEEN. YES, YEAH. OKAY SO WHEN WE GO OUT AND LOOK AT SITES, UM I'M GONNA SEE IF HE CAN LET ME KNOW WHERE THOSE LIGHTING FIXTURES APPROXIMATELY ARE GOING TO GO AND WE'LL TRY AND SKIP THROUGH THOSE BUT GO OUT FURTHER WITH THE TWO PIECES SO THAT THEN AT SOME TIME, WE CAN COME BACK AND GO IN BETWEEN THEM, RIGHT? ABILITY. AS WE GO. YEAH. OKAY ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OKAY TWO THINGS I'D LIKE TO, UM, TO REMIND YOU OF WE WILL HAVE THE CALL FOR ARTISTS AT OUR NEXT MEETING. SO YOU CAN REVIEW IT AND MAKE ANY CHANGES THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE. BUT ALSO WE WILL HAVE TO APPOINT OUR SELECTION COMMITTEE. SO IF YOU ARE COULD BE TALKING TO CITIZENS THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED. WE NEED ARTISTS AND WE NEED, UM INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE IN THE CITY THAT ARE PURELY VOTERS. AND YOU KNOW THAT. PAY TAXES HERE.SO THAT COMBINATION ALONG WITH PARKS REPRESENTATIVE AND ALSO, UM, PUBLIC ART BOARD MEMBER THAT HASN'T SERVED ON ONE OF THESE COMMITTEES BEFORE. OKAY? THAT'S ALL I HAVE. SOUNDS EXCITING. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO DISCUSSION ITEM NUMBER FOUR. DISCUSSION AND UPDATE REGARDING THE 2023 BLUEGRASS ON BALLARD. OKAY WE CURRENTLY HAVE 82 VENDORS THAT HAVE APPLIED FOR THE BLUEGRASS, BUT THREE HAVE PREPAID. UM WE'VE GOT SEVERAL FOOD VENDORS WITH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FOODS, SO I THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD. UM IT HASN'T REALLY BEEN ADVERTISED ON FACEBOOK OR ANYTHING. THESE ARE JUST FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN TO THE EVENT IN PAST YEARS THAT WHEN I SENT THE EMAIL OUT THAT THE APPLICATION WAS AVAILABLE, THEY JUST WENT IN AND APPLIED.
SO I'M I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL HAVE AT LEAST 110 TO 140. IS THERE A DATE SET? YES IT'S JUNE 30TH. SO PLEASE MARK THAT ON YOUR CALENDARS BECAUSE WE'LL NEED EVERYBODY'S HELP. ALWAYS AROUND MY BIRTHDAY, SO I'M JUST NOT GONNA BE IN TOWN. BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE ON THE BLUEGRASS FOR NOW. NEXT DISCUSSION ITEM NUMBER FIVE DISCUSSION REGARDING ART ON CITY OWNED ELECTRICAL BOXES TO GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS TO ART STUDENTS AT COLIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILEY CAMPUS. UM, ANYWAY , WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT BEFORE AND, UM, DURING THE LAST PRESENTATION THAT I DID A COUNCIL, UM. THEY KIND OF BROUGHT IT UP. THEY BROUGHT IT UP TO FOLD. THEY WANT TO USE SHAY'S, UM ART PIECE. WHEN THE SPLASH PARK IS INSTALLED. NOT THIS ONE. THAT'S ON THIS PROPERTY, BUT THE ONE THAT WILL BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN. BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE KIND OF FUTURISTIC. SO THAT WILL TIE IN. REALLY WELL, I DON'T KNOW IT WON'T BE AS BIG A MURAL AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DOWNTOWN. BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN AREA THAT THEY WANT SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE ENTRANCE. AND SO AS WHEN I GET THE MEASUREMENTS AND EVERYTHING, I'LL BRING IT BACK.
THERE WILL BE SOME C I P FUNDS FOR IT, BUT IT PROBABLY WELL, IT MAY PAY FOR THE MURAL. UM BUT THE OTHER SPLASH PARK WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO ADD SOME, TOO. UM, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S. I THINK THE FUTURISTIC ONE WILL NET SOMEWHERE. AROUND $5000. BUT THE OTHER ONE. UM IF IT'S THAT AMOUNT WILL HAVE TO ADD SOME TO IT, BUT THAT ALONG WITH THE DOG PARK UM SO I TOOK A RIDE WITH OUR. UM PROJECT MANAGER THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE I WANTED TO ASK HIM ABOUT ALL OF THESE UGLY BOXES THAT ARE AROUND TOWN. AND HE TOOK ME AROUND AND SHOWED ME THE ONES THAT BELONG TO THE CITY . THERE ARE 26. AND THEY ARE MOST OF OUR STOPLIGHTS. BECAUSE ALL OF THE STOPLIGHTS AFTER YOU
[00:15:01]
GET OVER A POPULATION OF 50,000 ARE OWNED BY THE CITY RATHER THAN TEXT DOT OR ANY OF THE OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. SO HAVING SAID THAT, UM, WE DID GO TO A COUPLE THAT LOOKED VERY INTERESTING TO ME. ONE IS OVER, UM, ON 78 5 44. AND IF YOU DRIVE OVER THERE, IT'S A VERY LARGE BOX, AND IT'S SET IN FRONT OF THAT LITTLE STORE. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE STORY IS, BUT IT'S ACROSS THE STREET FROM EXXON. SO WHEN YOU'RE TURNING LEFT, YOU SEE IT WHEN YOU'RE COMING. YEAH, THAT'S IT. FUNKY MONKEY SPUNK SHOP. YEAH. SO WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA DRESS UP THEIR BOX. YEAH AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE ON BROWN AND UM AND COUNTRY CLUB. AND A THIRD ONE AT THIS STOPLIGHT RIGHT HERE. BY THE COLLEGE. SO UM, ERICA, THE INSTRUCT ART INSTRUCTOR AT UM QUAD C. WILEY CAMPUS, UH AND I DISCUSSED HAVING THEIR STUDENTS DO SCHOLARSHIPS AND ALL OF THEM TO DESIGN. UM, DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT THEY HAVE FOR THE BOXES. UM, WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING IT, YOU KNOW, PRETTY GENERAL THINGS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE TO TEXAS LIKE BLUEBONNETS AND SUNFLOWERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT ALSO HAVING SOME OF THEM TO BE TWO D YOU KNOW, TO WHERE THEY'RE DIMENSIONAL. UM, LIKE THE TREASURE CHEST THAT I THAT I SENT TO YOU. UM AND THEN WE WOULD GIVE $200 SCHOLARSHIP TO EACH OF THE STUDENTS THAT PERFORM THE ARTWORK OR THE DESIGN. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE WHOLE CLASS WOULD ASSIST WITH THE PAINTING. AND I THINK I HEARD ERICA THAT ACRYLIC IS THE BEST TO USE ON IT. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SEALERS THEY PUT ON. COME ON, UP AND TALK. JUST GIVE YOUR NAME AND, UM. SORRY ERICA MCELMAN. UM SO I NEED TO GET MY ADDRESS AND EVERYTHING TO KNOW BECAUSE, OKAY , THE LAST TIME I DID THIS, I HAD TO GIVE MY ADDRESS. UM NO, SO THERE IS A SPECIAL TYPE OF PAINT THAT IT'S ACTUALLY UV RESISTANT, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT A SPECIAL CLEAR COAT ON TOP OF IT. I CAN GET YOU THE NAME OF THAT PAINT. WE'RE BRINGING IN A VISITING ARTISTS. SHE'S A PUBLIC MURALIST. SHE DOES A LOT OF WORK AROUND CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, AND I'M BRINGING HER IN FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH. UM SO THE STUDENTS ARE BEING WORKING WITH HER, TOO. SO THIS KIND OF TIES IN REALLY GOOD WITH WITH THAT AS WELL SO THEY'LL GET A LITTLE TASTE OF ACTUALLY WORKING ON PUBLIC WORKS. UM, SO I'M GONNA TIE THIS IN WITH MY TWO D DESIGN CLASS. SO ALL THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN FOR IT. AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE'LL HAVE THREE, UM, CHOSEN, HOPEFULLY CHOSEN DESIGNS TO ACTUALLY GO IN AND OUT. AND YOU KNOW? CREATE. SO I HAVE A QUESTION WHO WOULD PROVIDE THE PAIN? WELL YOU KNOW , A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN WE WERE GOING TO DO THE MURAL.ROGER NIGHTS, SAID THAT HE WOULD DONATE SOME OF THE PAINT. UM BUT I THINK ALSO, UM, WE CAN SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME DONATIONS FROM HOME DEPOT AND PLACES LIKE THAT AS WELL. THEY'RE USUALLY WITH WITH EDUCATION. THEY'RE PRETTY SOLID ABOUT GIVING DONATIONS. ALSO IF YOU NEED TO, I CAN REACH OUT TO THE COMPANY AND SEE IF MAYBE BE INTERESTED. OR, YOU KNOW IF YOU COULD WE ALWAYS REALLY NEED ARE LIKE PRIMARY COLORS WHITE AND BLACK BECAUSE WE CAN MIX EVERYTHING ELSE. SO I MEAN, IT WOULDN'T BE A HUGE EXPENSE FOR PAINT. AND HE DID. I THINK IT SOUNDS GREAT. HMM. I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE ART PROGRAM AT COLLIN COLLEGE. MY SON GRADUATED FROM THERE WITH AN ASSOCIATES LAST SUMMER, AND HE DID GET TO TAKE AN ART CLASS AND USES WELDING, UM TO CREATE A SCULPTURE FOR THE ART CLASS. AND HE LOVED IT. SO THANK YOU. FOR WHAT YOU GUYS DO THERE. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. DO YOU KNOW HIS INSTRUCTOR? OKAY MY HUSBAND TEACHES SO I WAS JUST LIKE HE WAS A GENTLEMAN. I DO THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GENTLEMAN. UM BUT JUST I KNOW THAT WHAT YOU GUYS DID FOR MY SON IS BEING REPLICATED FOR MANY OTHER STUDENTS AND JUST REALLY
[00:20:02]
APPRECIATE THAT. YOU GUYS ARE DOING ALL THAT. AND I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA. I LOVE IT . IT'LL GIVE OUR STUDENTS JUST REALLY NEAT OPPORTUNITY TO LIKE BRAGGING RIGHTS. YOU KNOW SOMETHING TO PUT ON THEIR RESUME THAT THEY DID THAT AND MAYBE JUST SPARK SOMETHING FURTHER FOR THEM TO DO DOWN THE ROAD. YEAH I LOVE DOING THINGS ON THE COMMUNITY WITH MY STUDENTS. I THINK LIKE YOU'RE SAYING PROFESSIONAL. IT REALLY HELPS HER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY WANT TO GO INTO ART, SOMETHING THEY CAN PUT ON THEIR CV FOR FUTURE. UM YOU KNOW, JOB APPLICATIONS AND YOU KNOW, IT. KIND OF IT DOES BOOST THEIR SPIRITS TO LIKE, BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO, UM AND LETS THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH. SO I REALLY ENJOY BEING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, SO I'M EXCITED TO BE WORKING WITH YOU GUYS AGAIN, AND THESE WILL GO ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BOX. SO UM, GENERALLY FROM ANY POSITION DRIVING, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE FOUR WAY STOPS SO UM THEY HAVE TO BE PAINTED ALL THE WAY AROUND. AND ONE THING THAT, UM, THAT HE DID SUGGEST WHEN WE PAINT THEM IS, UM, THE BOXES WHERE THE DOORS ARE, WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET IN AND OUT AND MANIPULATE THE LIGHTS. MAYBE NOT PUTTING DESIGNS ON THAT PART. BUT JUST PAINTING HIM SO IT'S COHESIVE WITH THE REST OF IT BECAUSE, HE SAID, THEY GET IN AND OUT OF THAT PRETTY OFTEN. YEAH. SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THAT IDEA ? WILL THERE BE LIKE A THEME FOR THE BOXES? OR IS IT JUST OPEN TO THE STUDENTS? WHATEVER. THEY WANT TO THINK THE THEME WOULD BE VERY GENERAL, IT WOULD JUST BE APPROPRIATE DESIGNS FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS. YOU KNOW, UM, WE PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO TEXAS STAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT JUST, UM YOU KNOW, UM NORMAL THINGS THAT YOU WOULD YOU WOULD SEE ON A PAINTING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW? NOT NOT, UM REAL CONTEMPORARY. BECAUSE SOMETIMES THAT GETS BUSY FOR DRIVERS, BUT JUST SOMETHING THAT'S MORE CALMING AND DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THEY NEVER KNOW. THERE? YEAH.I THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAD TO IT. CAN GET TO BE A STICKING POINT AT SOME POINT. WILL THERE NEED TO BE AN APPROVAL PROCESS FOR EACH ONE OF THESE? LIKE WHENEVER THE STUDENTS MAKE THE DESIGN AS THE COUNCIL ARE GONNA SAY WE DON'T WANT YOU TO PAINT IT UNLESS WE SAY IT'S OK. THERE WILL BE AN IMPROVE A LITTLE FOR THE DESIGNS WITH COUNCIL AFTER THE SELECTION COMMITTEE CHOOSES THE FINALIST SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR EACH EACH TIME WE DO. I THINK WE COULD DO A SELECTION COMMITTEE FOR ALL THREE JUST HAVE A SELECTION COMMITTEE EACH YEAR, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH COUNCIL. BUT WHEN ERIC CAN I TALKED ABOUT IS, UM WHEN THE APPROVAL PROCESS GOES, WE WILL NOT INVITE THE STUDENTS TO COME. UM WHEN IT GOES THROUGH COUNCIL DEAL WILL COME AND PRESENT THEIR PIECES LATER WHEN THEY GET THEIR SCHOLARSHIP. AND CAROL. YOU KNOW, THE TEACHER AND ME IS JUST, UM, LOVING THE IDEA OF HAVING A SCAVENGER HUNT FOR THE KIDS THAT LIVE IN WYLIE THAT THEY HAVE TO GO FIND THESE BOXES AND TAKE A PICTURE NEXT TO THEM AND, YOU KNOW TWEET THEM OR WHATEVER. AND YOU KNOW, I HEARD A PRIZE FOR THAT. SO, YEAH, I THINK WE NEED TO PROBABLY QUITE A COUPLE 23 YEARS BEFORE WE DO THAT. BUT THEN THAT WOULD BE FUN. THAT WOULD BE A GOOD SCAVENGER HUNT ALONG WITH THE ART YOU KNOW, AND JUST GIVE LITTLE PRIZES FOR THE WINNERS.
THE FIRST ONE TO DO IT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THING. WE COULD GET T SHIRTS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ALSO I WONDER ALSO SEE FROM YOU GET FROM YOU GUYS. IF YOU HAVE MAYBE SEEMS OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING KIND OF SUBJECT MATTER THAT YOU WANT TO SEE. ON THESE LIKE JUST TO GIVE THE STUDENTS A LITTLE BIT OF GUIDANCE. UM YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIFIC TO WILEY. I KNOW WE WHEN WE WENT THROUGH CITY COUNCIL, THE LAST TIME THEY HAD MENTIONED TRAINS AND A FEW
[00:25:05]
OTHER THINGS LIKE COWS AND SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT SPECIFIC THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE MY ONLY FEEDBACK WOULD BE JUST THINK ABOUT HOW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE THAT MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE SEEING IT AS THEY DRIVE BY. SO MAYBE IT'S NOT SO ABSTRACT LIKE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE KIND OF READILY IDENTIFY BECAUSE THEY MIGHT JUST BE GOING BY REALLY QUICK. UM, JUST EASY TO MAKE OUT SOMETHING THAT KIND OF BLENDS WITH THE LANDSCAPE, YOU KNOW, NOT SOMETHING THAT'S SO STRIKING THAT IT JUST STANDS OUT LIKE A LOT OF THE MODERN ART IS MORE CIRCULAR AND BOLD COLORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. UM I THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR DRIVERS. IT'S MORE RELAXING AND . WELL, I'M SUPER EXCITED. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS. COME UP. COME ABOUT SO, UM, CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE US A TIMELINE ERICA HAVE YES. SO I'M GOING TO GIVE IT AS A PROJECT FOR MY DESIGN. ONE STUDENTS. UM SO GENERALLY WE START CLASSES LATE AUGUST. SO I'M THINKING PROBABLY WE CAN HAVE AT LEAST A GOOD AMOUNT OF DESIGNS, AT LEAST BY SEPTEMBER. YOU KNOW WE CAN HAVE THEM PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE BY I WANT TO SAY OCTOBER BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. IF THAT SEEMS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU. UM AND THEN ALSO GIVES US THE LAST TIME THE SEMESTER IF WE GO OUT AND PAINT THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE NICE. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BEING TOO HOT. AND WE CAN WORK WITH IT. AS WE GO ALONG. WE'LL JUST NEED AGAIN TO HAVE ANOTHER COMMITTEE. UM. TO SERVE ON THAT COMMITTEE. IT WOULDN'T HURT TO HAVE MAYBE AN ART TEACHER FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL OR HER. YOU KNOW , PEOPLE LIKE THAT THAT ARE USED TO WORKING WITH STUDENT ART. UM ACTUALLY, LILY IS NOW WORKING FOR ONE OF THE SCHOOLS. SO IS HER PARTNER. THERE ARE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, BUT THEY'RE BOTH WORKING AT SCHOOLS. YEAH. I CAN REACH OUT TO HER. OKAY? ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ERICA. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A REGULAR AGENDA ITEM. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ACT ON THE ADVISORY BOARD MEETING MINUTES FROM JANUARY, 19TH. I MOVE THAT THE MINUTES FROM JANUARY 19TH BE APPROVED. SECOND.I APOLOGIZE, BUT I CANNOT FIND THE START AND STUFF, BUT NONE HERE. THIS IS A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM. WELL IT SHOULD COME UP WITH THE RESULTS AND THE RESULTS ARE FOR ZERO. BUT. NO. IT WAS 40.
