DISCUSSION At the July 15, 2013 meeting, members of the City Council expressed interest in exploring opportunities for public art specifically, art on utility cabinets. To further study this issue the Mayor established a Public Art Ad -Hoc Committee consisting of Councilman Benavides, Councilman Reyna and himself to review opportunities for public art in Santa Ana. After several meetings with staff regarding best practices for implementing a pilot program, a call for artists was released on October 16, 2013 and funding for this program was approved by the City Council the November 4, 2013 meeting. The artists' deadline for submitting was November 6, 2013. The project received broad interest in the community and resulted in over 130 submissions from 66 artists. The selection committee, which included representatives from both the arts and business community reviewed the submissions and met on December 5, 2013 to discuss their selections and recommend the artists /renderings that would paint the first seven utility cabinet art projects in the downtown. Each of the recommended artists meets the criteria of living, working or studying in Santa Ana and was selected based on their artistic excellence and work experience (Exhibits 1 -7). The recommended artists and works are as follows (in no particular order): 25A -1 Utility Cabinet Art Pilot Program January 7, 2014 Page 2 Artist Tidq a Submission Utility Cabinst Location Michael Ziobrowski The Golden City Third Street and Main Street Kimberly Duran Above the Clouds First Street and Main Street Dino Perez I'm Going Your Way Fourth Street and Bush Street Alicia De Leon Santa Ana Winds Fifth Street and Broadway Federico Medina We Are Santa Ana Fourth Street and Broadway Roger Eyes Life in the Golden City Fourth Street and Main Street Eddie De La Barca Koi — Peace and Serenity Third Street and Broadway If confirmed by the City Council, the next steps will be to schedule a meeting with the selected artists to sign Artist Agreements, receive instructions from the Public Works Agency regarding preparation and painting of the utility cabinets and scheduling project kick -off and completion dates.
