Project Name: Fundraiser Sales Stand Location: Weekly Farmer's Market at Main and West Angela Streets Type of Project: Functional sculpture Summary Description: The weekly Saturday morning Farmers' Markets and the First Wednesday Street Parties attract hundreds of shoppers and are lively social centers for local and regional residents. At the same time, local non-profits, educational support groups, fundraising committees and community assistance efforts are always seeking ahigh-foot traffic venue to maximize their sales. Potential uses for a permanent non-profit sales stand include Girl Scout cookies, Rotary scholarship raffle tickets, Friends of Pleasanton Library book sales, Humane Society pet adoptions and Parent Faculty/Teacher Association and school band fundraisers. A scheduling system will have to be set up by the Market's manager to ensure fair access to stand reservations each week. The design criteria, functional specifications and iconic imagery for a festive, artist-designed sculpture/stand should be developed as a community effort, with representatives from potential non- profit users on the selection committee. The competition could also be opened to high school art and vocational classes (and parents with carpentry, welding and construction skills). The stand could be permanent if an appropriate location can be found. [fit is conceived as a portable prototype, a second stand could be sponsored by the Pleasanton Downtown Association for use by non- profits at monthly special events and street fairs. Audiences: Non-profits, local residents, non-profit supporters Budget: $5,000 annually for design and fabrication. Installation by City 28
