the art would ideally be moved to a future location once/if roadway improvements
are initiated.
- The commission reviewed the Art Encounters selections, determined placement
locations for the six rotating sculptures, and directed staff to place an art pedestal
at Cantril School if possible.
- The commission reviewed a proposal received for the request for photography
services, and Dana Frazee motioned and Jen Perry seconded the selection of
Twain Wilkins to provide photography of the public art collection throughout 2025.
The motion passed 5-0, with member Ken Greenberg being absent during the
vote.
- The commission also discussed the potential of utilizing students in the AP
Photography Class at Douglas County High School to help obtain additional photos
as a capstone project during the 2025-2026 school year. Julisa Morris suggested
having the students prioritize photography of the rotating sculpture program, as
well as seasonal shots to complement Twain's work.
- Julisa also suggested potentially moving the sculpture Sweet Tooth to an HOA
landscaped area in Encore Plaza, and Jen Perry suggested moving the bear art to
where And The Wheels Go Round is currently installed to place the latter in the
HOA spot. The HOA of Encore had previously considered putting some artwork in
this area, so brainstorming continued. The commission directed staff to assess if
Sweet Tooth would fit in either spot so a decision could be made at a future
meeting.
- Staff provided the update that March social media outreach featured the story of
Sweet Tooth, and the monthly newsletter update featured a link to a Livability
Magazine article on a how art is shaping the Castle Rock community.
- The commission reviewed Town staff feedback on the proposed art and culture
grant program, which will hopefully be approved by Town Council in May.
- The commission decided to host their May meeting remotely since a high
number of members would need to call in due to being out of state.
"I move to select Twain Wilkins to photography the public art collection after
reviewing the submitted proposal."
