Report to the
Arts and Culture Commission
May 26, 2016
Action Item – Approve Seven New Members of Public Art Edina
A press release was issued in April seeking new members of Public Art Edina. Eight
individuals applied, and Staff Liaison Michael Frey and I interviewed seven individuals.
Due to turnover in the next year, it was agreed that all seven would be invited to
volunteer. Criteria for selection were a individuals interested in giving back to their
community, a passion for art with diverse backgrounds and qualities.
The Chair requests approval of the following Edina residents as new members of Public
Art Edina: Britt Eyngorn, Gary Hittle, Kevin Komadina, Joan O’Brien, Philip Schimke, Cory
Shubert and Forrest Simonson.
Slapshot by Judd Nelson has been successfully funded at a price of $7,500 through a
GoFundMe Campaign headed by Council Member Ann Swenson. The sculpture was part
of the 2013-2014 exhibition of art on the Edina Promenade at Centennial Lakes. The
permanent location will be inside Braemar Arena. City staff is designing a protective base
on which it will be mounted. Thanks to the many residents, businesses and organizations
for their contributions and this addition to our permanent collection.
Please mark your calendars for the following upcoming events: Edina Art Fair, Fri.-Sun.
June 3-5, 50th & France; Edina Fall into the Arts Festival, Sat.-Sun., Sept. 10 &
At our May meeting, we had an informative presentation about sculpture and object
conservation and how Edina might benefit from this program by Laura Kubick, Associate
Conservator with Kristin Cheronis Inc.
PAE approved an updated Public Art Edina Guidelines. A copy will be attached in the
May EACC emailed documents.
We were pleased to introduce Anne Miller, Chair of the Arts and Culture Commission to
the group.
We are nearing completion of the installation of 10 new sculptures at Grandview Square,
50th & France and The Edina Promenade and extend a special invitation to
Commissioners to attend our Annual Reception to Honor the Artists on Wednesday, June
15th, 5 - 7 p.m. at Pinstripes. Invitations to follow.
