Liaison Tarnowski will follow up on this request. Student Commissioners Konkimalla and Pardo recommended that the Commission should develop relationships with the schools. The Commission should ask what students want and how students can contribute to the public Art Planning effort. Commissioners discussed needed to define the terms art located in public places vs. Public Art for this planning effort. Commissioner Hegley suggested ultimately developing a five-year rolling plan. Chandler summarized next steps: • Participate in Pentagon Park South focus groups (3) led by Jack Becker • Lead cross-commission meeting between ACC and HRRC February 7, 2019 at 7:00 in City hall in the mayor's Conference room. Goals: Diversity and equity should be considered and reflected in whatever public art the commissions recommends; guided by values • Commissioner Hegley to facilitate the visioning process: Goal is to put scope and form to these ideas and take public art into new areas • Make recommendations on the handling current Public Art sculptures – these are in place until May 2019; handling bare pedestals; Tarnowski will bring a list of works that should be removed by May 2019 • Survey Edina residents about what public Art should be in Edina • Develop Public Art awareness concepts and venues Day of Art, Edina Art Fair, and Fall into the Arts Festival .
