L) LYNN M. <br /> DANNHEISSER <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: George "Bud" Scholl, Mayor <br /> Dana Goldman, Vice Mayor <br /> Isaac Aelion, Commissioner <br /> Jeanette Gatto, Commissioner <br /> Larisa Svechin, Commissioner <br /> cc: Christopher J. Russo, City Manager <br /> Hans Ottinot, City Attorney <br /> Susan Simpson, Assistant City Manager <br /> FROM: Lynn M. Dannheisser, CMP Consultant <br /> DATE: October 19, 2017 <br /> RE: Establishing the City's Public Art Program <br /> In the past year, this Commission made a commitment to implementing the Sunny Isles <br /> Beach Cultural Master Plan. The plan was created for the purpose of"embracing the role the arts <br /> and culture play in community building, raising a city's profile, creating a welcome sense of <br /> place and encouraging investments... and broader economic development.i1 <br /> I have been tasked with creating the City's first Public Art Program. Goal 2 is to leverage <br /> the Arts and Culture for Creative Placemaking.2 The packet before you contains the initial <br /> elements of a public art program for your consideration and adoption. The packet contains: <br /> a) the prototype of our proposed public art program and guidelines; <br /> b) the Resolution creating a Public Art Advisory Committee; <br /> c) the "Call" to populate the PAAC. <br /> This program represents a compilation of my research of public art programs around both <br /> the state of Florida and the nation. My intention was to incorporate the best and most appropriate <br /> elements of each such plan from elsewhere specifically for our City. (Just as an aside, I have also <br /> made inquiries as to what has been successfill and what things may not have worked so well and <br /> why.) These criteria attempts to also incorporate the lessons we have learned in our own <br /> 'CMPp.12 <br /> 2 CMP p. 28. Rationale for this goal is: <br /> •to overcome the City's challenges in pedestrian flow and "legibility"; <br /> • to create identity( brand)and upgrade the aesthetics of the public realm, <br /> •to encourage the citizens to get out and mingle; <br /> •foster community engagement portion of the Plan for the City. <br /> LYNN M.
