bull Public art is a vital ingredient in the cultural fabric and streetscape of creative cities and contributes to the creation of great places

bull The following report provides a status update to Flower City Committee on the Nelson Garage Mural

bull In October 2011 the Flower City Committee approved an updated Public Art Policy which involved the strategic development of the Public Art Program and formation of the Public Art Task Force to oversee the administration and

implementation of public art in the City of Brampton bull The Nelson Garage and Belvedere Staircase Mural Projects were approved by

Council as part of the downtown beautification initiatives The Belvedere Staircase was completed in 2010 and the Public Art Task Force is currently working to complete the Nelson Garage project for 2012

bull A Call for Artists Proposals for the Nelson Garage Mural was developed by the Public Art Task Force and released to the international professional arts market in April of 2012 The Call specifies that the mural must be created on removable panels which may be installed at a different location should the need arise in future The Call closes on May 31 2012 and installation of the mural by the City is estimated for late Fall 2012

poundgt3 Recommendations

1 That the report from Jamie Lowery Commissioner Community Services dated May 15 2012 re Nelson Garage Mural Project - Status Update (File M06shyNE) be received

Background

In April of 2009 Council approved the commencement of the Capital Projects as detailed in the report on Downtown Brampton Revitalization Downtown Beautification Initiatives Wards 1 34 and 5 (File P75 DB) One project detailed in this report was the Nelson Garage Mural Project

In October 2011 Flower City Committee approved the update to the Public Art Policy which involved the strategic development of the Public Art Program and formation of the Public Art Task Force to oversee the administration and implementation of public art in the City of Brampton

In a presentation to Flower City Committee in January of 2012 the Public Art Task Force committed to making the Nelson Garage Mural the groups priority project for 2012

Current Situation

The Public Art Task Force has been working with staff from various departments to prepare an appealing Call for Artist Proposals (CFAP)

Recognizing the Nelson Garage may be a site for future development in downtown Brampton the Public Art Task Force has ensured the ease of relocation is a key aspect of the project parameters The mural will be fabricated on panels which may be installed removed and re-installed elsewhere in the City should the need arise The panels will be a series of vignettes creating an overall picture when installed together but also aesthetically able to stand alone should they be split up and individually re installed elsewhere throughout the city

The Public Art Task Force released the CFAP to the international professional arts market in April of 2012 Mural Routes and other such arts organizations were instrumental in ensuring the CFAP reached a wide pool of professional candidates from which it is expected a strong degree of talent will apply The Call closes on May 31 2012 and installation of the mural is estimated for late Fall 2012

As per the Public Art Policy once the CFAP closes on May 31 2012 a Selection Committee known as the jury will be established to review all proposals The Jury will

pound^ consist of members from the Brampton Arts Council CommunityServices department an artist genre expert appointed by the Brampton Arts Council and one Councillor (or Councillor appointed community member) from the ward in which the artwork is being installed Other technical advisors may be added to the jury at the discretion of the Public Art Task Force

It should be noted as part of the project parameters that the successful artist will only be responsible for the conceptualization fabrication and delivery of the mural to the City The City will be responsible for the installation of the mural which will ensure that the process and completed project meets all building safety and insurance requirements The artist may be asked to participate as an artistic advisor during the installation phase

Financial Implications

Funding for this project will come from the 2009 Investing in Ontario Grant The all-inclusive artist budget has been set at $80000 while an additional $20000 has been reserved for installation incidentals and an unveiling event

Conclusion

In conclusion the Nelson Garage Mural Project is moving forward as outlined in the January update to Flower City Committee The Public Art Task Force remains committed to its timely realization and will continue to provide progress updates to Flower City Committee

Art Opportunity

Overview

The Brampton Arts Council and the City of Brampton are seeking an artist or artist team to design and fabricate a mural for the west wall of the Nelson Square Parking Garage in downtown Brampton

The mural should be ready for installation in late Fall 2012 Schedule is contingent upon the Citys project schedule and may be changed at any time

The goal for the mural is to create a big impact on this highly visible wall Local citizens downtown employees municipal workers and GO commuters may all be visually engaged by the piece which should serve to animate the wall and enliven the downtown atmosphere

Theme

The theme for the mural has not been pre-selected As part of their proposal the artist will include the theme they wish to explore in this piece This theme should be contextually creative site-responsive and have regard for contemporary public art theory and practise

Applicant artists are encouraged to visit the installation site If artists cannot visit the site prior to submitting a proposal they should view the site on Google Earth

Design Parameters

While the mural is intended for long-term display at the Nelson Garage it should be painted on a number of mountabledemountable panels allowing the piece to be easily moved if required in future

The panels should be a series of vignettes creating an overall picture when installed

together but also aesthetically able to stand alone if they were to be split up and individually re-installed elsewhere throughout the city

The term panels is used loosely in the sense that they need not be square Creativity is encouraged and panels may be cut and shaped as per the artists vision

The mural need not cover the entire wall but should nonetheless make a significant visual impact The mural should begin at 7-8 above grade so as to allow cars to park against the wall without blocking the visibility of the artwork

poundgtl The mural may be flat or sculptural in nature but should not protrude more than 1 from the wall Painted murals should include primer paint and an UV coating and be resistant to the effects of weather and vandalism The artwork should not pose risk of injury to the public or interfere with the operation and serviceabilityof the building The artwork should be made with durable materials that require little maintenance
