BUSINESS

Facilitated Strategic Conversation for the Public Art Plan

Facilitator Heather Matthews led PAC through a process to develop a clearer sense of the context and

landscape surrounding public art in Broomfield. PAC reviewed their foundations, desired results,

objectives and refined the potential activities.

Then PAC did a quick review of the objectives and activities for capacity, partnerships and funding.

Capacity: Is there sufficient ‘people power’ to accomplish this work? Who will do it?

Partnerships: What relationships will support your efforts?

Funding: Which activities have funding needs? What is the highest priority?

Art House Curation

The PAC discussed how to curate the first art house. Mary Wilkie made a motion for each member to

take a photo of our favorite public art by this Sunday the 17th and email it to David by end of day.

David seconded it. All voted in favor.

For the exterior, PAC discussed vinyl wrapping the house with artwork from the traffic box call

selections. Betty Jacksom made a motion for the honorarium to be recommended $175 for this first

box, with a maximum of $200 for negotiations for the abstract work “Buckle”. David seconded. All in

favor. Staff will contact the artist.

"Only the Earth and the Mountains" by filmmaker Elleni Sclavenitis interrogates the narrative of

settler colonialism in the American West by white pioneers and its implications to society today by

examining the repercussions of the Sand Creek Massacre, in which more than 200 Cheyenne and

Arapaho people were murdered by U.S. Cavalry troops on November 29, 1864. In speaking to the

survivors’ descendants, it becomes clear that this event is a living, perpetual loss—one that should

not be forgotten. After the thirty minute film, stay for a panel discussion.
