BACKGROUND <br /> Harrington Public Art Acquisition Plan <br /> On December 29, 2009, the Harrington's met with Civic Arts staff to present their idea <br /> for a ten -year plan to add to Pleasanton's public art collection by the acquisition or <br /> commission of several sculptures — including two (2) murals. Through a process of <br /> collaboration with individuals and local businesses, the Harrington's goal is to raise <br /> financial support in the community and to personally match any donation of $3,500 or <br /> more until sufficient funding for a particular sculpture or mural has been achieved. <br /> "Phase One" <br /> As part of "Phase One" of the Plan, the Harrington's and other donors have acquired <br /> and donated three (3) sculptures to the City. They include: the steel sculpture "Spiral <br /> Motion III," by artist Jon Seeman, recently installed on the grounds southeast of the <br /> Firehouse Arts Center building; the large steel sculpture "Two Dancers," by artist Greg <br /> Hawthorne, which will also be installed on the grounds of the Firehouse Art Center <br /> building; and the carved stone sculpture "Joyful Play," by artist Dominic Benhura, which <br /> will be delivered to the City in late April, 2011 and installed in a prominent location along <br /> Main Street. <br /> "Phase Two" <br /> On February 1, 2011, staff met with representatives from the Civic Arts and Parks and <br /> Recreation Commission(s) as part of the "Public Art Selection Subcommittee" to review <br /> and discuss 36 artworks that the Harrington's had proposed for "Phase Two" of the <br /> Plan. In reviewing the various artworks, the Subcommittee applied the selection criteria <br /> noted in the Downtown Public Art Master Plan, as well as their practical application in <br /> an outside public area. A copy of the selection criteria has been attached as a <br /> reference (Attachment 1). <br /> After careful review, the Subcommittee selected a total of 14 artworks which included 12 <br /> sculptures, one (1) mobile and one (1) mural (Attachment 2). While possible locations <br /> for some of the artworks were discussed, no decision regarding their permanent <br /> locations was made. The permanent location of any pubic artwork is an important <br /> consideration; therefore, following the acquisition of any artwork, the Civic Arts <br /> Commission will review and discuss their proposed locations. <br /> At its regular meeting on April 11, 2011, the Civic Arts Commission reviewed and <br /> approved the 14 proposed artworks and determined that they would be desirable <br /> additions to the City's public art collection. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Following on the success of "Phase One" of the Harrington Public Art Acquisition Plan <br /> and the Civic Arts Commission's recommendation, staff is requesting that the City <br /> Council approve the proposed 14 artworks as "Phase Two" of the Harrington Public Art <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
