Title

Call for Art - Senior Center Security Gate

Recommended Action

I move that the Art in Public Places Board recommend to County Council the approval of the purchase of “Los Alamos Heritage Gate” by artist Jonathan Watson for the Betty Ehart Senior Center, with a total project not-to-exceed amount of _$21,000, which includes the artwork purchase, installation, plaque, ribbon cutting ceremony, and contingency costs, excluding gross receipts tax (GRT).

Body

Permission has been granted by the Zia Pueblo to use their Sun Symbol in the design of the gate. Board member Buckthorpe has generously volunteered to donate to the Zia Pueblo scholarship fund to support the artist with his donation offer.  Members will discuss a recommendation to Council.
