38 <br />DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS <br />To engender support for public art and create a range of engaging art <br />experiences, it is recommended that the City engage in the following <br />demonstration projects. <br />ART IN PARKS <br />Work with groups interested in commissioning an artist to develop an interactive <br />temporary artwork to coincide with a community celebration or special event <br />at a neighborhood park or series of parks or trails sites. Designed to encourage <br />active participation, the event would engage local residents, institutions, and <br />community groups in the planning, construction, and design of installations and <br />performances. Identify three parks to participate in this demonstration project, <br />such as Memorial Park, Root Park, and Verde Park. <br />ROTATING ART IN SELECTED MEDIAN <br />Designated a highly visible median for the display of sculpture for a 12-month <br />period. For the demonstration project, retain the services of a qualified consultant <br />or curator to create a short list of potential artists for the SLAC to consider. <br />VACANT STOREFRONTS ON EAST 14TH STREET <br />& CALLAN AVENUE <br />Partner with the business district leaders and private property owners on East <br />14th Street and up to four available vacant storefronts for artists to create <br />temporary art installations. For efficiency, retain the services of a qualified <br />consultant or curator to create a short list of potential artists for the SLAC <br />to consider. <br />49
