Body
Summary and Background Information:
The Eagle Pointe Recreation Center was completed in December 2018. At the time, the public art committee was only able to install one of the two recommended exterior art pieces due to budget constraints.
The City established a public art selection committee consisting of residents, Cultural Council representatives, and City staff. A call-for-artwork was published, the public art selection committee reviewed
and juries 17 applications and selected three semifinalists. One artist was selected to create the exterior sculpture, with the public art committee agreeing to fundraise for a second piece of art.
The total project budget is $24.750. The Cultural Council successfully applied for and was awarded a $14,323 grant from the Scientific Cultural & Facilities District (SCFD) to obtain this piece of art.
The City Council can agree to approve the installation of the art piece selected by the public art committee and Cultural Council or City Council can choose to not to approve the installation
