Proposed placement for the various pieces is identified on the attached diagram of the Civic Plaza.
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The City of Lakewood's Heritage, Culture and the Arts (HCA) Division, in conjunction with the HCA Commission, established the Art on the Commons display and competition, an 11-month three-dimensional art-on-loan program. Up to eight pieces will be selected annually using a juried and invitational process. The display, located in the Civic Plaza of the Lakewood City Commons, will run from at least mid-September 2002 until August 2003. Sculptures on display will be for sale with a 25% commission of any proceeds going towards the future purchase of additional art for City of Lakewood parks and facilities. A $1000 cash prize for "Best of Show" and a $500 "People's Choice Award" will be presented during the opening reception, which will be from 5:00 pm to 7:00 p.m. Thursday, October 10, 2002.
The purpose of the Art on the Commons program is:
· To build community awareness of the aesthetic impact of art in public
places, therein supporting future permanent placements in City of Lakewood parks
and facilities
· To create a better visual environment through integrating the work
of artists into the development of City public works projects
· To seek opportunities for acquisition and placement of art in public
places
· To promote purchase of art by private business development and individuals
The seven (7) pieces recommended for Council approval were selected from a pool of eight works (8) submitted to the Public Art Committee for acceptance into the Art on the Commons public art program.
