CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: October 12, 2000
ITEM TITLE: Art Proposal by William Cain
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the Cultural Arts Commission.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Mr. Cain responded to the Request for Qualifications for the Civic Center Campus
Artwork by submitting two proposals at the July 13, 2000 Cultural Arts Commission
meeting. The Commission did not recommend Mr. Cain's work for City Council
consideration at the July 18, 2000 Council meeting.
Mr. Cain would like to display his artwork within the City of La Quinta. The artwork
would consist of a labyrinth and murals painted on sidewalks and the Bear Creek Bike
Path, as provided in Attachment A.
Currently, the City of La Quinta does not have a location identified for a labyrinth. The
City Council has not directed the Cultural Arts Commission to solicit artists for artwork
to be painted on City sidewalks.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Commission are:
1. Direct staff to place Mr. Cain's information in the Artist Bank and to
notify Mr. Cain when the City issues a Request for Proposals for
upcoming art pieces; or
2. Direct staff to place Mr. Cain's request on a future City Council meeting
for consideration for the unsolicited artwork; or

3. Provide staff with alternate direction.

ATTACHMENT A
I would like to introduce myself as an artist and to express my interest in pursuing
artistic projects in my area of expertise. My artistic talent has been directed mainly
toward on -site wall murals, painting, and land art pieces, including art in public
places programs and private developers:
I am experienced in a range of styles, which include murals, faux finish, mosaics,
and special effects projects as well as outdoor land art projects. I have worked on
projects in Europe, New York, and Chicago, and Los Angeles.
I am very enthusiastic about my work and I am proud of the projects I have done. I
would be very interested in meeting with you to discuss potential projects in which
you may have an interest including art in public places programs.
I look forward to the possibility of meeting with you personally and appreciate the
opportunity to discuss my work with you in greater detail.

Proposal
Art in Public Places Program
The art of drawing or painting on sidewalks and pathways for public enjoyment has a
long history in many cultures. As anyone who may have visited Europe knows, street
artists working in pastels and chalk have created stunning pieces of art usually
reproducing masterpieces for the public's viewing.
I propose to paint a series of themes, along the sidewalks/pathways and bike paths
incorporating various themes of the following ideas:
1. Reproductions of various centuries of art.
2. Various local flowers and plants.
3. Children of The Neighborhood Series: Using local children for both painting and
ideas for images. Contests to be held by local middle and high schools.
4. Historical and Environmental Series: From ocean to land including transition of
underwater life to present day.
5. Indigenous animals
These are a few of the themes that I intend to incorporate.
Method of Transference to concrete:
1. Kils primer
2. Color themes acrylic paint (which was developed for Walt Disney mural painting
projects and is highly durable.)
3. The paintings would then be coated with a clear coat finish.
The approximate size of each image would be 8 ft. by 1 Oft, depending on pavement
outlines and spacing.
The cost of each panel will be $1600.00
Since this would be an ongoing project, payment could be extended over a period of time,
i.e., once a month or every 2 weeks.
I believe this project would enhance the educational, cultural, and visual impact of the
city.
I thank you for your time and hope you will give this project a serious consideration
because of its unique value.
Sincerely,
�i/ 16-141;�; CX/1/11/

It is my belief that having art in public places, in
which people can interact with the art and have a
participating part in it, enriches the enjoyment and
pleasure for the public. I propose to build a walking
meditation form called a labyrinth. It is my vision that
the labyrinth would become a place for the community
to gather and discover a place that offers peace,
tranquility and beauty. It has been my experience that
both adults and children enjoy walking the interweaving
pathways. Upon reaching the center, seating will be
provided to allow for rest, contemplation, and/or
daydreaming. A water feature could also be added in the
center. I will construct the footpath 36 inches wide to
allow the public and those with wheelchairs to follow
the pathway and therefore, also, enjoy the experience.
I truly hope you will approve my project since I feel
the labyrinth interacts with both the environment and
spirit of the community.
Thank you,
William Cain

Carpet Of Dreams
Mission Statement
As an artist my main purpose is to produce visually stimulating and ascetically
pleasing images for the public to enjoy and contemplate. I believe my carpet of
Dreams series and proposel will accomplish this goal plus it will benefit the
Community of La Quinta in the following ways:
Foster civic pride and promote La Quinta's image in the arts. Enhance the city's
attraction for Residents and Visitors as a place in the landscape of La Quinta to see and
visit.
Allow for extensive promotion, public relations
and advertising over a long period of time.
Community education for both adults and youth by allowing the community and public
to see and interact with the artist at work on a daily basis and over a long period of time.
The community and public could possibly learn something about art and the history of
the Coachella valley.
One of the individuals who signed my petition stated that a Journey of a thousand miles
begins with the first step. To be truly effective I believe that placing an image at the end
of each street on the pathway should be the goal. But to begin this Carpet of Dreams
proposed I would like to start with a series of 24 image, 6 of which would fall into the
contest with the High School and Middle School of La Quinta. In this way different area
of the community pathway could be worked on and not just one area of the bike path.
Timeline approximately one year, which is approximately one image every 2 weeks.
After completion of Phase 1, I would begin Phase 2 Timeline Series moving on to Phase
3 Classic Art Series and fmishing with Phase 4 Flowers, Animals and Environmental
Series. The benefits of doing various phases would be long term community interaction,
feedback, public relations, television, etc.
I have the commitment and vision to carry this wonderful and exciting project forward
and to transform a portion of the city's landscape. All I am asking is your approval and
support to get my Carpet of Dreams proposal moving and to submit your approval to the
city council.
Thank you very much for your consideration,
William Cain

Community Interaction
A Petition Process
It is my belief and many of the residents of La Quinta that I have talked to, that La
Quinta has a reputation for it's artistic heritage. Although many of the residents are
aware of the La Quinta Arts Festival, they know very little about any other
activities. A large percentage of the people I have talked to have expressed the
pleasure in being informed and feeling that art in which they can interact with,
enriches the community as a whole.
While it is true that anyone can start a petition for any reason, therefor I would like
to point out the following:
1) To get a petition signed you first have to explain your proposal and idea
before you can get a persons signature.
2) In the process of talking to the community you are getting true feed back
about their hopes, desires, and frustrations regarding art in La Quinta.
3) You are some ways informing the community not only of your personal
goal and vision, but also other programs.
4) To take the time to gather community support is not only appreciated by
the community, but requires a level of resolve and dedication and a strong
belief in your proposal. In my case the positive feed back, support, and
wishes of good luck, calls made to the Mayor's office and kids asking to
take my petition to their schools has made this civic project all the more
rewarding.
5) The purpose of my starting a petition was basically to open a channel for
spontaneous ideas to be acted on and be able to say this isn't just my good
idea, but it seems that a cross section of the community feel likewise and
would like to see my carpet of dreams project enacted

CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION MEETING
DATE: October 12, 2000
ITEM TITLE: Jefferson Street Bridge
RECOMMENDATION:
As deemed appropriate by the Cultural Arts Commission.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
On May 5, 1998, the City Council approved a contract with Juan and Patricia
Navarrete to design bridge railing enhancements for the Washington Street bridge, as
provided in Attachment A. The Navarrete's were commissioned to provide bridge
railing enhancements, as provided in Attachment B.
Jefferson Street is being widened and there is a bridge south of Avenue 52 on
Jefferson Street that crosses the All American Canal. The City Council has requested
that the bridge contain an artist component, as the Washington Street bridge.
One option for consideration for the Jefferson Street bridge artistic component is to
commission the Navarrete's to provide an artistic enhancement for the bridge. This
enhancement could be similar to the Washington Street bridge, therefore giving the
bridges in La Quinta a theme in the artwork. A Artwork Purchase Agreement can be
provided for City Council consideration by the November 21, 2000.
Should the Commission desire, a Request for Proposal can be prepared and approved
by the City Council for consideration. This process will take approximately four weeks
to process, and approximately six weeks to advertise to allow artists to respond. The
total amount of time needed to complete the RFP process is fourteen weeks.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available to the Commission are:
1 . Recommend to the City Council that the Navarrete's be considered to
provide bridge enhancements for the Jefferson Street bridge; or

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
On January 20, 1998, the Public Works Department requested and received authorization
to send out a Request for Proposals for the Design Phase, Bidding, and Construction
Phase Services for the Washington Street Bridge Widening. On February 2, 1998, Council
authorized staff to enter into a contract with Holmes & Narver, Inc. for professional design
services. As part of that contract the consultant was required to "coordinate with a City -
selected artist to incorporate public art amenities into the bridge rails or other parts of the
bridge structure as directed.
Following this approval, the Public Works Department staff requested the Art and Public
Places Commission select an artist to work with the Holmes & Narver to determine how art
could be incorporated into the bridge design. The Art and Public Places selected John
Walling and Charrie Chappie to review the Artist Bank, select three artists, and meet with
Public Works Department staff to select an artist based on their experience with public
improvements.

The emphasis of the Navarrete work has
been in the creation of art that gives to the
environment a sense of place. As creative
thinkers and problem solvers, they are
involved with the characteristics that bring
unique identity to a particular setting or
location.
Whether creating copper petroglyph
medallions for the Central Avenue
Beautification Project, Phoenix, Arizona
(below) or expansive bas-relief murals,
fountains, sitting areas, or bas-relief
reception counters, the Navarretes have
had extensive collaborative experience.
They work with owners and design profes-
sionals in creating intimate residential
settings and corporate and hospitality
environments, including spectacular
public art.
This nationally recognized and highly
published team, recently on the cover of
New Mexico Magazine, works in diverse
mediums: concrete, a variety of plasters,
stone, and metal. They provide design
details and drawings, technical assistance,
fabrication and installation. Prices vary
according to scope of project and scale.

I would like to introduce myself as an artist and to express my interest in pursuing
artistic projects in my area of expertise. My artistic talent has been directed mainly
toward on -site wall murals, painting, and land art pieces, including art in public
places programs and private developers.
I am experienced in a range of styles, which include murals, faux finish, mosaics,
and special effects projects as well as outdoor land art projects. I have worked on
projects in Europe, New York, and Chicago, and Los Angeles.
I am very enthusiastic about my work and I am proud of the projects I have done. I
would be very interested in meeting with you to discuss potential projects in which
you may have an interest including art in public places programs.
I look forward to the possibility of meeting with you personally and appreciate the
opportunity to discuss my work with you in greater detail.

Proposal
Art in Public Places Program
The art of drawing or painting on sidewalks and pathways for public enjoyment has a
long history in many cultures. As anyone who may have visited Europe knows, street
artists working in pastels and chalk have created stunning pieces of art usually
reproducing masterpieces for the public's viewing.
I propose to paint a series of themes, along the sidewalks/pathways and bike paths
incorporating various themes of the following ideas:
1. Reproductions of various centuries of art.
2. Various local flowers and plants.
3. Children of The Neighborhood Series: Using local children for both painting and
ideas for images. Contests to be held by local middle and high schools.
4. Historical and Environmental Series: From ocean to land including transition of
underwater life to present day.
5. Indigenous animals
These are a few of the themes that I intend to incorporate.
Method of Transference to concrete:
1. Kils primer
2. Color themes acrylic paint (which was developed for Walt Disney mural painting
projects and is highly durable.)
3. The paintings would then be coated with a clear coat finish.
The approximate size of each image would be 8 ft. by 1 Oft, depending on pavement
outlines and spacing.
The cost of each panel will be $1600.00
Since this would be an ongoing project, payment could be extended over a period of time,
i.e., once a month or every 2 weeks.
I believe this project would enhance the educational, cultural, and visual impact of the
city.
I thank you for your time and hope you will give this project a serious consideration
because of its unique value. .
Sincerely,
�Ail

It is my belief that having art in public places, in
which people can interact with the art and have a
participating part in it, enriches the enjoyment and
pleasure for the public. I propose to build a walking
meditation form called a labyrinth. It is my vision that
the labyrinth would become a place for the community
to gather and discover a place that offers peace,
tranquility and beauty. It has been my experience that
both adults and children enjoy walking the interweaving
pathways. Upon reaching the center, seating will be
provided to allow for rest, contemplation, and/or
daydreaming. A water feature could also be added in the
center. I will construct the footpath 36 inches wide to
allow the public and those with wheelchairs to follow
the pathway and therefore, also, enjoy the experience.
I truly hope you will approve my project since I feel
the labyrinth interacts with both the environment and
spirit of the community.
Thank you,
