As part of its commitment to art in public places, the Arts Council is proud to lend its name to this worthy project. As part of its role in this project, the Arts Council of Kern has selected a first site. The intersection at Pierce Road and Rosedale Hwy. would be the ideal location for a proposed Entry Point. The Entry Point would have a mosaic mural and upgraded landscaping that would showcase our city. as one dedicated to art in public places. We need to secure full funding for the first project so that we may use the project to "seed" future works. To achieve this, we are exploring corporate and foundation support to fund this initial project. To keep costs at a minimum, we suggest that the project be a mural made of ceramic mosaic file. The Arts Council of Kern has contacted an artist that is committed to make this project come to fruition and is willing to keep costs at a minimum. The plans are still to have the landscape design and mural complement each other and have a theme that ties in to the arts in Bakersfield. How the Arts Council would be involved: Project Planning- ACK would oversee-the selection of the artist, design, project installation and attempt to acquire some funding for fa'st project. Create partnership with city - This agreement would benefit us in one of many ways so that we may continue to seek out funds for the furore. The partnership would also help in the planning and installation process (permits, easements etc.) for the fa-st and future additional projects. It is our pledge to make this partnership a priority in 1998 and beyond. Future Commitment'. · Work with Image Committee to identify additional sites. · Conduct open competitions for the design of future works that would be located ar additional locations. · As a partner with the City of Bakersfield, work on expansion of art in public places beyond the Entry Points. · Look to get service organizations involved (Fresno's program is run by Rotary Clubs) How Future Bakersfield would be involved: Support the commitment of ACK as we search out funding sources. Support the creation of a partnership with the city. Help in identifying corporate and foundation support. Other involvements to be determined per discussions.
