Title
Los Alamos County Airport Art
Recommended Action
I move that the APP Board select the following artist/s and the following piece/s, gather public input, and based on that input, make a recommendation to the Los Alamos County Council for art in the Los Alamos County Airport.
Body
The Los Alamos County Airport has undergone renovations and has requested that the APP Board consider looking for “soft” art that will reduce the echo in the building. At the September 2021 APP meeting, the board agreed to change their focus of finding art for North Mesa to start the process of finding soft art for the Los Alamos County Airport. At the Oct. 2021 meeting, Abigayle took the lead on this project and is going to reach out to “friends” who know about fiber art. At the Nov. 2021 APP meeting, the board agreed to proceed with a Call for Art with this project in January.
The official Call for Art went out March 29, 2022 and is scheduled to run until April 29, 2022, so far the APP board has received 10 submissions, some with multiple entries from artists.
On June 8th the Board held a special session to review all the submissions received. The board selected 5 artists that they would like to pursue further with additional information. The 5 artists, Patricia Gould, Valentina Devine, Maria Jonsson, Donna Foley, and Lindsay Brenner, will be given the opportunity to present additional information of their proposals at this July 28th APP Board meeting.
Presentations and materials for Valentina Devine, Donna Foley, and Lindsay Brenner proposals will be provided at the meeting.
At the regularly scheduled July 28th meeting, presentations were heard from all five potential artists for the airport space. The special session meeting for today, Aug. 4th was requested by the board, so that selections can be made, while presentations were still fresh.
