FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The City will contribute $5,000 towards the cost of the artwork.
DESCRIPTION: In September of 1993 the City Council gave conceptual approval to
the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation's proposed "Art in the Parks" program. The goal of the "Art in the
Parks" program is to enhance City parks through the placement of artwork appropriate to each park's
history, location, size and use. Since that time, the Foundation has completed commissions in Alamo
Creek, Stagecoach, Mape Memorial, Kolb Park, and Ted Fairfield Parks. Additionally, a sculpture
previously on loan to the City and the Foundation was purchased by the Foundation and permanently
installed at Shannon Park. A commission for Emerald Glen Park is underway and scheduled for
completion early next year. In January of 2003, the City Council approved a request from the Dublin Fine
Arts Foundation to commission art for Dolan Park.
A selection committee comprised of members of the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation Board and a
representative from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and Parks and Community Services
Commission as well as community members reviewed the materials from nine artists. The Art Selection
Committee for Dolan Park selected four artists to prepare proposals and maqUettes for the park artwork.
The maquettes were placed on display in the Civic Center Lobby. The public was encouraged to make
comments regarding the pieces. At the end of the display period the Art Selection Committee met,
reviewed the public comments and selected the proposal by artist Bryan Tedrick.
For Dolan Park, Mr. Tedrick proposes a work entitled" Dreams of Longing After Nothing". It is a wind
driven kinetic sculpture designed to rotate 360 degrees and tilt approximately 25 degrees from its center
axis. The supporting pole, made of stainless steel, will be approximately 12 feet high allowing over 7 feet
of clearance from the ground to the sculpture. The approximately 14 foot long sculptural "arm",
composed of both steel and bronze, is abstract to allow for the viewer's interpretation.

The total cost of the artwork is $20,000 and will be paid for by the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation. As with
previous Art in the Park projects, the City will contribute one-quarter of the project cost, or $5,000.
Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2003-2004 Budget.
The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and the Parks and CommunitY Services Commission have
reviewed the artwork and recommend approval by the City Council. The Parks and Community Services
Commission is recommending that the height from the ground to the sculpture be extended to 8 feet as
opposed to the 7 feet in the original proposal. The artist has indicated that this is possible and will not
affect the design or function of the artwork.
RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of Staff that City Council receive the presentation
from Lynne Baer of the Dublin Fine Arts Foundation. FollOWing the presentation, it is recommended that
the Council either recommend approval of the artwork or provide alternate direction.

Dear Mayor Lockhart and City Council Members;
The Dublin Fine Arts Foundation is pleased to present the artwork, "Dreams of Longing
After Nothing", by Bryan Tedrick for installation in Dotan Park as part of the
foundation's "Art in the Parks" program.
On April 17, 2003 a Selection Committee comprised of five residents of the
neighborhood, a DFAF board member, and a commissioner each from both Heritage and
Cultural Arts and Parks and Community Services Commissions reviewed the materials of
nine artists and selected five to submit proposals.
Each of the artists visited the site and met with members of the Selection Committee to
better understand the community and use of the park. In creating their models, the artists
took into consideration the ideas and wishes of the committee, the neighborhood and ages
that use the park, safety and maintenance concerns, and, most important, esthetic and
visual enrichment of the park. After tl)e meetings, one of the artists, Irene Pijoan, decided
not to submit a proposal.
The four proposals were due on Monday, August 18 and a public reception was held
Tuesday, August 19 from 5:00 to 7:00pm in the Dublin City Hall Civic Center
Lobby/Rotunda. Flyers for the event were distributed to about 100 homes in the area
surrounding the park as well as displayed at the Civic Center. As part of a fundraising
effort, DFAF also sent out 500 letters announcing the reception. All of the artists
attended the reception and approximately 50 people viewed the models and submitted
comment cards. Attendance was increased by individuals coming to the City Council
meeting which began at 7:00pm. A photograph of the event appeared in the Tri-Valley
Herald the next day and an article appeared in the Contra Costa Times on Sunday, August
24, 2003.

The models remained on display in the Rotunda until September 22 with comment cards
available for the public to express their opinions. The entire Committee reconvened on
September 25 to reach a final decision. The meeting was also attended by two members
of the neighborhood who wanted to be part of the selection process. At that meeting, it
was agreed to ask two of the artists, Bryan Tedrick and Laurel True, to make some
modifications to their proposals. The Committee also wanted another opportunity to
discuss the final decision with their neighbors. On October 23, Bryan Tedrick was
selected by the entire Committee.
A resident of Glen Ellen, Bryan was born and raised in Oakland, California and
graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in sculpture in 1985. Using metal, wood,
stone, and found objects, Bryan custom designs site specific, architectural scale gates,
portals, sculpture, railings, and screens. He has created public art works for the
communities of Sacramento, Redding, and Stockton. In 2002, Bryan was one of the
artists in the exhibition, "3 Artists/3Media/3 Visions" at the Sonoma Valley Museum of
Art.
"Dreams of Longing After Nothing" is a wind driven kinetic sculpture designed to rotate
360 degrees and tilt approximately 25 degrees from center. The supporting pole, made of
stainless steel, will be approximately 12 feet high allowing over 7 feet of clearance from
ground to sculpture when at rest. The approximately I4 foot long sculptural "arm",
composed of both steel and bronze, is abstract to allow for the viewer's interpretation.
The Committee feels that the kinetic sculpture wilt be a great addition to Dolan Park.
Some of the public comments ranged from "interactive and fun" to "looks wonderful...
like flowing bubbly water."
The model and exact location of the artwork will be presented at the meeting.
Best regards,
Lynne Baer
Consulting Director, Dublin Fine Arts Foundation
