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.

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.

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. William Cain 52485 Avenida Rubio La Quinta, CA 92253 760-564-3401 021 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/ William Cain 52485 Avenida Rubio La Quinta, CA. 92253 760-564-3401 022 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.

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 027 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 028 PROJECTED FINANCIAL COST PHASE 1 FLOWERS, ANIMALS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCENES OF THE DESERT WILLIAM CAIN 24 IMAGES X $1,600.00 = $38,400.00 TIMELINE APPRO):IMATELY ONE YEAR PAID IN INSTALLMENTS 8 IMAGES OF ANMALS 8 IMAGES OF FLOWERS AND/OR PLANTS 8 IMAGES OF DESERT ECO SCENES TOTAL COST = $38,400.00 WILLIAM CAIN 18 IMAGES X $1,600.00 = $285800.00 CONTEST LA QUINTA MIDDLE SCHOOL 2 IMAGES X $400.00 = $800.00 LA QUINTA HIGH SCHOOL 4 IMAGES X $400.00 = $19,600.00 TOTAL COST = $31,200.00 029 PROJECTED FINANCIAL COST PHASE 2 TENIELINE SERIES ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY FROM THE BEGINING TO THE PRESENT WILLIAM CAIN 24 IMAGES X $11)600.00 = $38,400.00 TIMELINE APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR PAID IN INSTALLMENTS 4 IMAGES OF GEOLOGICAL 8 IMAGES PREHISTORY 8 IMAGES NATIVE AMERICANS OR FOLKLORE 4 IMAGES PRESENT CONDITIONS TOTAL COST = $3 8,400.00 WILLIAM CAIN 18 IMAGES X $19600.00 = $28,800.00 CONTEST LA QUINTA MIDDLE SCHOOL 2 IMAGES X $400.00 = $800.00 LA QUINTA HIGH SCHOOL 4 IMAGES X $400.00 = $11600.00 TOTAL COST = $31,200.00 030 PROJECTED FINANCIAL COST PHASE 3 CLASSIC ART THROUGH THE MILLENNIUM SERIES CLASSIC ART WITH A SOUTHWEST FLAVOR (Recommendations of the arts commission and city council) WILLIAM CAIN 24 IMAGES X $15600.00 = $3 8,400.00 TIMELINE APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR PAID IN INSTALLMENTS TOTAL COST = $38,400.00 WILLIAM CAIN 18 IMAGES X $19600.00 = $289800.00 CONTEST LA QUINTA MIDDLE SCHOOL 2 IMAGES X $400.00 = $800.00 LA QUINTA HIGH SCHOOL 4 IMAGES X $400.00 = $100.00 TOTAL COST = $31,200.00 031 VI. BUSINESS ITEM B. U _ w� GFnt OF 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 032 S:\Community Services\CAComm\CACRPT.235.wpd 2.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: The sum of $3,000 would be expended from the Art and Public Places Fund (701-000-255- 210). 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. 034 CCJH.01 I Juan Navarrete Patricia Navarrete Navarrete Studio P.O. Box 2251 Taos, NM $7571 (505)776-2942 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. 222 Public Art Juan & Patricia Navarrete P.O.
