RECCOMMENDATION:
The Fine Arts Ad Hoc Subcommittee recommends that the City Arts Commission approve an exhibition
of artist Judit Laufer’s sculptures in the gallery space in the Central Library lobby.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach maintains two exhibit spaces at the Central Library. The Lobby Gallery in the
Central Library has approximately 38 feet of linear wall space designed for two-dimensional pieces of
art. Additionally, artists may apply to exhibit three-dimensional works in the two display cabinets added
to the lobby of Central Library in 2010. The display cases are approximately 24” high x 24” deep x 24”
wide.
Artists who want their work considered for display submit a completed Application for Review and
Consideration of Art.
The Library Services Director manages the gallery space. The City Arts Commission’s Fine Arts Ad Hoc
Subcommittee meets periodically to review artist's submissions; and notifies artists of acceptance. Staff
arranges the staging of the art.
At their August meeting, the Fine Arts Committee recommended that the work of artist Judit Laufer be
exhibited subject to City Arts Commission approval.
Fine Arts is also requesting that paintings from the City’s art inventory be displayed at dates to be
determined.
