Home My WebLink About4.5 - 1283 Utility Box Art Selection Page 1 of 3 STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL DATE: January 10, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Utility Box Art Pilot Program Design Selection Prepared by: Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts & Heritage Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider a recommendation from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission for artwork to be painted on six utility boxes along Village Parkway, under the Utility Box Art Pilot Program. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission's selections for the Utility Box Art Pilot Program. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff estimates the cost of the Utility Box Art Pilot Program, including artist payments and Staff time, to be approximately $7,700. Per the Public Art Ordinance, this project is eligible for funding with Public Art Fund monies, and the City Council previously approved $8,000 for the purpose of this program. DESCRIPTION: At the March 1, 2016 meeting, the City Council approved and funded a Utility Box Art Pilot Program to paint six boxes in the Village Parkway District and Dublin High School neighborhood. The Commission recommended the three boxes nearest Dublin High School (A, B, and C) be reserved for student artists working under the supervision of an adult artist or art teacher, and the three boxes in the Village Parkway District (D, E, and F) be awarded to professional artists or student artists. The City Council directed Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission to choose a theme, and the theme chosen was “Variations on a Shamrock.” Staff issued a Call for Artists on October 24, publicizing the opportunity through normal City channels (website, etc.), as well as via email to local public school art teachers, private art studios, registrants in the Cultural Arts Database, nearby cities with Page 2 of 3 successful utility box art programs, and the California Cultural Arts Council website. The deadline to apply was November 21. No student applications were received for boxes A, B, and C, although Staff is aware that teachers did promote the opportunity numerous times to students. Five professional artists applied, submitting a total of nine designs for consideration for boxes D, E, and F. In light of the absence of any student submissions for boxes A, B, and C, Staff recommended, and the Commission agreed, to relax the Call for Artists specifications that six different artists be chosen and that only students be considered for the boxes near the high school. The three boxes in the high school neighborhood are frequent targets of graffiti vandals. The desire to use public art to deter graffiti on specific “problem” boxes was a significant factor in establishing this pilot program. The Commission recommended the following assignments, and Staff has confirmed with all artists that they would be willing to modify their designs, if needed, should City Council approve the Commission’s recommendation. Box A - Southbound Village Parkway at Davona Drive (near DHS) The Commission recommended a design by Kimberly Overton of Castro Valley, titled “Reaching for a Shamrock,” which features hands of various skin tones reaching for shamrocks against a light green background and was inspired by a poem written by the artist. The Commission felt this design’s theme of diversity was well-suited for a box near the high school, and the fact that it had no large solid colored areas made it less appealing as a tagging target. Box B - Southbound Village Parkway at Brighton Drive (directly opposite DHS) The Commission recommended a design by Suzanne Gayle of Hayward, titled “Electric Shamrock,” which uses bright neon colors to emphasize a happy, cheerful community. It is also a nod to Dublin’s growing technology sector. The Commission felt this colorful design would appeal to teens and busy design would make it less appealing as a tagging target. Box C - Southbound Village Parkway at Tamarack Drive (near DHS) The Commission recommended a second design by Suzanne Gayle, “Shamrock Community,” which depicts an orange cat and golden dog playing in shamrocks. The Commission felt that this design would be especially appealing to younger children, and thus was a good choice for this corner near Fredericksen Elementary. Box D - Southbound Village Parkway at Amador Valley Blvd. (in front of Oil Changer) The Commission recommended an abstract design by Kalani Ware of Fairfield who uses color and texture to portray “connection, diversity and social interaction.” The colors - green, orange, white and black -- represent the Irish community. The Commission felt the unconventional choice of a black shamrock was well-suited to an auto service facility. Page 3 of 3 Box E - Northbound Village Parkway at Lewis Avenue (in front of retail complex) The Commission recommended a design by John Osgood of Danville, which depicts an abstract shamrock on the Village Parkway side of the box and a blue bird “representing nature found right here on your own backyard” on the Lewis side of the box. The artist uses layers of color to add texture and dimens ionality. The artist had applied for this location, and Commission agreed it was the best location for a box meant to be viewed from either side. Box F - Northbound Village Parkway at Dublin Boulevard (in front of Wendy's) Commission recommended one of three designs submitted by Lisa Long of Dublin. The bold, graphic design in blue, green and black, depicts shamrock -covered hills with silhouettes from Dublin history including a rancher leading a horse, a barn, Old St. Raymond church and the Kolb House. The Commission felt placing the reference to Dublin’s history in a prominent location was important. The box is near to the Crossroads mural, and Dublin Boulevard leads to Heritage Park and Museums. The box can be viewed from both directions, so patrons at t he Wendy’s drive-through will be exposed to this image Dublin’s past. The design does feature some larger, solid colored areas, but on this busy corner, they felt the tagging risk was minimal. The artists’ resumes, designs, and statements are attached. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: A courtesy notice of this item was sent to businesses and residents within 300 feet of the proposed boxes and to administrators and teachers at Dublin High School.

The image of family pets (a cat playing in a field of shamrocks and a dog romping through shamrock clover) are intended to showcase the health, family and community atmosphere of Dublin. "Electric Shamrocks" I consider this an extension of my "Neon Jungle" series that use bright colors to emphasize the positive of a happy and cheerful community. I want people to look at this image and smile. A subtext might also be the growing Technology sector in Dublin.

Suzanne Gayle Star Arts LLC 2443 Lancaster Court, Hayward, CA 94542 Suzan ne(d),StarArtsStudio.com www.StarArtsStudio.com Mobile: (650) 483 -5891 EDUCATION University of Memphis, B.A. 1987 2008 - Present Star Arts LLC: Founder And President, Chief Artist 2010 - Present Alameda County Arts Commission: Commissioner 2009 - Present Hayward "Keep It Clean And Green" Task Force: Commissioner 1999 - Present Purple Dolphin Arts: Founder and President EXPERIENCE I have 25+ years of experience in the Arts, living and working in the Bay Area with clients throughout the area. I operate my woman -owned business in Mural Painting, Graphic Design, and Art Instruction and Teaching. My original murals, paintings, and sculptures can be viewed at over 25 schools, libraries, and municipal areas throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Public commissions include: projects for the City of Hayward; Hayward Unified School District; City of Fremont; City of San Carlos; and numerous parent /youth organizations. I have also created private murals for homes and business offices throughout the Bay Area. I have self - published an instruction course and book for teaching workshops on Art for non -artist teachers in the classroom. Star Arts artwork ranges from acrylic -on- canvas to large public works on building exteriors /interiors. Public works range from utility boxes to multi -story murals. What makes my artwork unique is my creative use of space, including awkward corners and wall indentations that many artists overlook. I thoroughly research my design themes to include both historical references and site details to ensure that artwork `flows' in harmony with its location. Collaboration with my clients is vital throughout this creative process to ensure their satisfaction. In addition to murals my portfolio includes: Graphic design on logos and brochures; mixed media; 2 -D /3 -D acrylic /canvas works; paint sculpture; and wood cutouts. The course I created on Art includes a teaching seminars for non -artist schoolteachers about incorporating art and art techniques into the core curriculum. My course teaches creative ways to include art into the classroom, geared to the teacher. Working on large public installations goes beyond imagining unique designs, creating scale models and painting the mural. I have experience in obtaining necessary permits, insurance, and right of way clearance before starting all projects. Working on large -scale projects has provided me with experience in preparing large surfaces, operating large equipment such as boom and scissors lifts, finishing with an anti - graffiti coating and especially collaborating with Facilities directors and City personnel. I have been featured in numerous publications including "Daily Review ", CSU East Bay "The Pioneer "' The Tri -City Voice, Inside Bay area.com, the Hayward Highlights as well as a public showing in "On The Bay Today" KRON -TV about my murals in Hayward. My artwork was recently included in a San Francisco Chronicle special section on Hayward (6/26/16). Showing support for my community is important to me, and has inspired me to serve as Commissioner on both "Keep Hayward Clean & Green" Task force and Alameda County Arts Commission, as well as the Hayward Volunteer awards committee, social committee, and school parent organizations. I am grateful for the opportunity to donate my time as well as art and graphic services for community events. Suzanne Ga, 1 rg aphy I graduated from Memphis University, moving to the Bay Area in 1987. I live near CSU East Bay in Hayward with my husband Steve, my two daughters, Violet and Tanzenite and several cats and dogs rescued from animal shelters. I enjoy sharing the love of the arts with my daughters who love drawing, theater and music. My entire family also shares in community pride by volunteering. My husband is a founder and Chairman of the Board for Silver Oak High School, the first and only free Montessori Public High School in the Bay Area. Our daughters organized neighborhood -wide recycling program to raise funds in support of their schools that has been used to help send kids on school trips with financial aid. We firmly believe that the community is what you make it, which is why we connect so well with people in areas that we research for art projects. Involvement with other artists in my family and with friends inspired me to get into the arts early. After graduating with a B.A. from Memphis University, I operated a crafts business for fashion art pieces, in addition to working fulltime in interior design and decorating. I returned to college to re- invent my artwork styles by studying graphics arts and computer graphics and web - design at Foothill College in 1998 -2000. I have since created several mix -media pieces including an award - winning anti - smoking art video piece. I started an artist's showcase website for Purple Dolphin Arts, and formed my own professional studio, Star Arts LLC. Suzanne Gayle Artist Background Star Arts LLC was formed as an outgrowth of my design business, Purple Dolphin Arts and incorporated in May 2008 to meet large -scale commission and insurance requirements for my growing business. I am the Founder, President and sole -owner of the corporation. I have extensive experience with government contracting requirements and regulations, and have worked with city and school district Facilities directors in multiple communities. As an Alameda County Art Commissioner, I am very active in the local community, children's, and art associations. I have taught as an art instructor at several public schools, actively promoting `Art Is Education Month ", providing workshops for several schools and organizations. Serving as Vice President on a PTA board, I initiated an ART committee and enrolled the school to participate in the National Reflections Art Program. For the Woodland Estates Community Association in Hayward, I have been the past Newsletter Editor and Co -Chair the social committee in charge of children's holiday events. My artworks tell layered stories to draw the observer in for a deeper look and includes: Trompe d'Oeil, layering of original digital images and paints, altering of lighting, traditional techniques as well as modern advances in technical imaging, rounding or merging of perspective, enhancements to the art boundaries as well as the art with mixed media.

In my work, Im searching for a deeper meaning; I want to connect with people from every aspect of life. I would like to share my creativity in public spaces around the world and engage with the community. Some of the main themes I try to portray in my work is connection, diversity, and social interactions within society and the environment. The various shapes I use represent connection, similar to the connection of us as a people in society. I represent diversity by the use of various colors, patterns, as well as textures. My color palette often changes; sometimes I use colors that pop, and sometimes I use colors that are subtle and calm, but I try to maintain the foundation of my core themes and distinctive style. For this proposal, I have incorporated my abstract style with colors that represent the Irish community. Box E & F share similar shapes and different colors that are connected. Box F has the a shamrock symbol in the middle. CV EDUCATION University of Hawaii at Manoa, HI BA studio art I graphic design (2014) SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2015 1 Cukui, San Jose.

I am process oriented and begin my work with loose brush strokes and swaths of aerosol focusing initially on color and composition. During the creation process, I add layers of color which add texture and dimensionality. The proposed design for the City of Dublin includes an abstracted Shamrock in many shades of green and a blue bird representing the nature that is found "right here in your own backyard ". LISA LONG Design #1 As a long -time resident of Dublin, I have fallen in love with the history of the city. This design highlights some important parts of Dublin's history and geography, including the Kolb house and barn, Old Saint Raymond's Church, the Alamilla Spring, the heritage oaks, and the hills and shamrocks. Because much of my artwork is in paper, my design has a bold, graphic style. 8755 Wicklow Court, Dublin, CA 94568 LISALONGART.COM LisaLongArt@GMAIL.COM 925 - 640 -4531 LISA LONG Curriculum Vitae LISA LONG 1975 Born in Livermore, CA Currently lives and works in Dublin, CA FORTHCOMING EXHIBITIONS 2017 Sketchbook West, Las Laguna Gallery, Laguna Beach, CA EXHIBITIONS 2016 Caution May Be Hot, Long Weekend Gallery, Oakland, CA 2016 HaywardArts Council Openjuried Show, John O'Lague Galleria, Hayward, CA 2o16 Left CoastAnnual, Sanchez Art Center, Pacifica, CA 8755 WICKLOW COURT, DUBLIN, CA 94568 WWW.LISALONGART.COM LISALONGART @GMAIL.COM 925 -640 -4531 Thank you for your time
