A future agenda item was requested to further refine collaboration opportunities for a public art piece or pieces to be located at West Valley College, Saratoga Library, Saratoga Civic Center, the Village, and/or Congress Springs Park that is roughly the size of the “O California, Best Beloved Land” sculpture located at Montalvo Arts Center by artist Ann Weber. “O California, Best Beloved Land” is 76 inches by 98 inches by 74 inches. One of the ideas generated from the meeting was to create a uniform sculpture, such as an acorn, that could be painted by different artists and placed at various locations in Saratoga, including West Valley College, Saratoga Civic Center, Saratoga Library, the Village, and/or Congress Springs Park. Several communities and organizations have initiated this type of sculpture program. Examples include the Hearts in San Francisco, CowParade, New York Cairo Bears, Airlie Gardens HeART of the Gardens, and Houston Rodeo Boot Art Contest. Staff has reached out to these organizations to gather more information about the costs and logistics of a community-based sculpture program. There are several variables that influence cost, including initial artwork/design, sculpture size, number of sculptures, shipping and transportation of sculptures, and artist honorarium. Many communities also offset costs or use these community art installations as a fundraising mechanism by selling or auctioning artwork after an initial display period or "O California, Best Beloved Land” Heart in San Francisco Sculpture seeking business sponsors to support the program. Hearts in San Francisco is a significant fundraiser for the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation. While exact costs of a community sculpture project are still being identified and the costs would vary based on the nature of the program, an initial allocation of $20,000 is expected to provide enough funding for the first year of the program. If the Publ ic Art Committee wanted to add the program and maintain existing activities, the Committee could recommend an increase in the public art budget from $15,000 in Fiscal Year 2018/19 to $28,000 in Fiscal Year 2019/20. #SaratogaROCKS $600.00 Paint the City $6,000.00 PLACE Lease $1,500.00 Sculpture Project $20,000.00 Total $28,100.00 If the Committee decides to prioritize the sculpture program, staff can further investigate these types of programs and schedule a future agenda item to refine program details and logistics, including the involvement of West Valley College.
