30 <br />MENU OF PROJECTS <br />FOR CONSIDERATION <br />These menus are offered to encourage the acquisition and exhibition of public <br />art throughout the public and private sector in San Leandro. Determining project <br />priorities will evolve from discussions with the community over time and may <br />change as new opportunities and resources become available. As new public <br />artwork is commissioned, how it relates to the overall collection (Appendix G) <br />becomes an increasingly important criterion. Options for City-initiated public <br />art projects are listed below and categorized as Temporary Project Options, <br />Permanent Project Options, and Building Artist capacity. The decision to <br />implement any of these projects rests with the SLAC, City Manager, and City <br />Council. <br />These recommendations and suggestions of locations for future public art <br />(Appendix H) are based on input from San Leandro’s arts and business <br />communities and City staff. They take into consideration the expenditure of <br />funds from future private and municipal development project contributions <br />into the Cultural Arts Fund, additional revenues to be generated through grant <br />applications, and new partnerships between the City and San Leandro businesses, <br />non-profits, and other organizations. <br />TEMPORARY/PARTICIPATORY ART <br />Temporary public art is a highly effective tool for developing socially engaging, <br />interactive art experiences in community settings. Temporary projects can involve <br />a wide range of artists and art forms including visual, culinary, literary, media, <br />and performing arts. Temporary installations and performances also can be more <br />experimental in nature, are not placed in perpetuity, and are more cost effective <br />in general. By its fresh and timely nature, temporary art fosters artistic exploration <br />far beyond the traditional boundaries of public art, drawing residents and visitors <br />to the area in anticipation of each new installation or activity. <br />41
