NEW BUSINESS a) TRANSFORMER CABINET MURAL DESIGN REVIEW Ms. Martin presented designs by Amelia Caruso (replacing a mural she painted at Tenney Court that was moved) and Dominique Montaño on Stuart and Heritage Circle. The Board discussed Dominique’s design sketches vs. the final mural as the sketches from sides 1 & 3 to sides 2 & 4 and the top are quite different. They asked if this portrays what she intends them to look like or if they will be more consistent side to side in the final mural. Ms. Martin also presented collaboration plans and initial concepts for two neighborhood projects with Poudre School District: Chelsea Ermer will be creating a mural with students at Fossil Ridge High School and Gale Whitman will be creating a mural with students at Kinard Middle School. To keep the projects moving forward she asks the Board to approve what is presented today and will present the final design at a future meeting.

Unanimously approved. d) APP 30th Anniversary Ms. Martin continued the discussion for the 30th Anniversary Celebration and the board discussed the timing for an event. It was suggested to focus on community buy-in and have the community celebrate themselves and the story of the APP collection. They also suggested tying promotion to other museums and libraries to spread around to other cultural facilities and organizations. Ideas for the Celebration included: • T-shirts for artists working on projects • Commissioning special cabinet and piano murals that celebrate the anniversary. • A social campaign to vote on favorite projects and highlight older projects—for example, showing the first year of Pianos About Town. • Creating a special logo, and graphic promotions like a by-the-numbers highlighting the economic impact and a timeline of APP projects. • Videos of interviews with artists like Amelia Caruso who painted the first cabinets. • Telling the story 30 years of the community interacting with art—kids who created Pedestrian Pavers that have grown up what they remember. • Exhibit of pianos—piano backs images of all pianos on a loop. • Highlight the 1% projects that people are less familiar with. Highlight the first projects? • Artist talks, such as 5 in 5. ART IN PUBLIC PLACES REGULAR MEETING 8/28 /202 4 – MINUTES Page 3 7.
