MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC <br /> <br /> Item 5a <br /> RepOrt to Council from the Art in Public Places Committee <br /> (SR92:348) <br /> <br /> Keith Wardin, Chairman of theArt in Public Places Committee, <br /> gave a ten minute slide presentation which showed examples of <br /> public art projects in other cities and in Pleasanton. He <br /> explained that there was discussion five years ago by the <br /> PleasantonCulturalArts Council about the need and desirability of <br /> a public arts program in Pleasanton. This was based on a simple <br /> idea that as communities grow and become more affluent, attention <br /> turns toward the greater rewards that increased cultural and <br /> recreational activities can provide for the citizens. Also as City <br /> budgets increase and household incomes increase, the means to <br /> provide these activities and opportunities also are manifest. As <br /> cities grow and mature they seek to create an image for themselves <br /> through their public art and architecture. He was proposing to <br /> engage the City of Pleasanton in a cooperative and conscious effort <br /> to support what is already taking place (i.g. the new library and <br /> the restoration of Amador Theater). He asked that cultural and <br /> artistic values be integrated into the development of this City. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wardin confirmed that the Art in Public Places Committee <br /> is now at the end of Stage I of a four-stage plan and needs Council <br /> approval. Mr. Wardin explained that the work plan included a <br /> philosophy of the public arts program, a mission statement, and <br /> definitions of public art. At Stage II, the Committee will <br /> consider the issues of governance and funding and after that it <br /> will review the procedures and policies to implement a public art <br /> program. The last stage would be the implementation of the <br /> Committee's ideas. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wardin concluded by asking for approval for the first <br /> stage of the work that the Committee had done .... <br /> <br /> 9/1/92 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
