IX. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS Virginia Hayter, Newport Beach Arts Foundation President, suggested the winning submissions from the Sculpture Photo Contest be produced as postcards that can be offered for sale. The Arts Foundation has scheduled the requested number of volunteers plus a few extra for Saturday of the Art Exhibition. Commissioner Divine wished to investigate the idea of placing some of the Sculpture Photo Contest photographs into a video and sharing it via YouTube. Library Services Director Hetherton concurred with Commissioner Divine investigating the idea. Jim Mosher suggested the City Arts Commission memorialize all pieces in the Sculpture Garden in public locations. Vice Chair Greer suggested the Art in Public Places Subcommittee or a newly established subcommittee survey public art every other year to ensure pieces are maintained. Surplus funds could be held in a reserve fund to assist with maintenance of public art. In response to comments, Library Services Director Hetherton advised that the City does not impose a public art fee on developments. The Council changed its policy and no longer imposes a 2-percent fee for cultural arts. He believed the City Arts Commission utilized a portion of funds collected from the 2-percent fee for the Sculpture Garden.

The Newport Beach City Arts Commission presents an exhibition of monochrome prints by photographer Diana Blaisure. Bridges also functions as a metaphor: linking analog and digital as the artist combines scanned watercolor mono-prints with digital photography. Integrating abstract forms and color of a mono-print with the solid form and composition of a bridge is the initial step. The process has allowed her to look at bridges with new eyes. Works will be on display at the Central Library, 1000 Avocado Ave., Newport Beach during regular operating hours. 1 of 2 TO Newport Beach City Arts Commission FROM: Library Services Department Natalie Basmaciyan, Library Services Manager 949-717-3819, nbasmaciyan@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Natalie Basmaciyan TITLE: Phase IV of the Sculpture in Civic Center Park Exhibition DISCUSSION: In August 2013, the Newport Beach City Council authorized the City Arts Commission and City staff to implement a temporary sculpture exhibit in Civic Center Park. The City Council approved the installation of 10 sculptures in year one of the project and additional 10 in year two. The temporary exhibition featured public art in locations previously identified by PWP, the landscape architecture firm that designed the 14-acre Civic Center Park. The pieces installed in year one were on display for two years and were removed and returned to the artists in 2016. Those installed in year two, 2015, were removed in 2017. After a one-year pause, the project resumed with the installation of Phase of III in October 2017. City Council approved the funding for Phase IV of the Sculpture in Civic Center Park Exhibition as part of the overall City budget at their regular meeting on June 12, 2018. For Phases I, II, and III, the City of Newport Beach (City) selected Arts Orange County (Arts OC) to provide public art coordination and site management services for the Sculpture in Civic Center Park Exhibition. Staff may open a Request for Proposals or seek a sole source contract for the project. The contract will be submitted to City Council for final approval. Staff will develop a timeline with the project manager for the installation of Phase IV. After a contract is approved, Cultural Arts staff will issue a “Call for Entries”, inviting artists, private collectors, galleries and museums/nonprofit organizations to submit artworks for consideration for the temporary exhibition in the Civic Center Park. To select the pieces for the exhibition, the project manager will form a panel consisting of the City Arts Commission’s Sculpture Exhibition Ad Hoc Subcommittee and three jurors who are working arts professionals. The panel will individually review all of the submissions. Each panelist then will score each piece through a private, online scoring process based on the following criteria: 1. Artistic Merit – the artist has strong professional qualifications and the artwork is of high quality and demonstrates originality and artistic excellence. 2 of 2 2. Durability – the artwork is made of high-quality materials, requires minimal maintenance and can withstand the outdoor elements of coastal Orange County. 3. Practicality – the artwork is appropriate for audiences of all ages and does not exhibit unsafe conditions that may bear on public liability. 4. Site Appropriateness – the scale of the artwork is suitable for the environment and the artwork is suitable for viewing from all angles. The scores will be tallied and the field will be narrowed to 30 pieces. The jury panel will assemble to discuss each of the remaining artworks as a group and vote for the final selections in a public meeting. The panel will choose 10 artworks and three alternates. The panel will also select locations for each piece, generally based upon PWP’s Art Master Plan. A subsequent site visit - involving the consulting team and City staff members will assist in further refining the proposed locations based upon existing site sensitivities such as the need to protect habitat and the public view plane, maintaining clear public access to all the park’s walkways, and maintaining the aesthetics of the new park. All of the proposed placements would ensure that the existing View Plane that covers the site from Civic Center Drive southward would not be compromised. The City Arts Commission will publicly review the artworks at a regular meeting and approve forwarding the recommendations to the City Council for final consideration. If the Council approves the artworks and the proposed location for each piece, the project manager will then notify each artist that his or her artwork was a finalist. The artworks are to be loaned to the City at no cost and the artists are responsible for shipping their work to the Civic Center. To help defray these costs, Arts OC recommended and incorporated into the project budget, an honorarium for each artist, not to exceed $5,000. Installation will take place at a date to be determined. The City Arts Commission will host a grand opening event after installation of Phase IV. As this is a temporary exhibit, the 10 pieces comprising Phase IV will be scheduled for deinstallation in late summer / early fall 2020. NOTICING: This agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Arts Commission considers the item).
