You may see color and culture across the City of Madison, but the Public Art Program has so many layers that help bring beautiful art to life on public structures and in the community. The Percent for Art ordinance, passed in October of 2017, officially created a mechanism to increase the rate of our investment in public art. Through the Percent for Art Program one percent of the city funds committed to any capital project exceeding $5,000,000 will be designated for public art. In 2020, Madison's Percent for Art ordinance initiated its first project with the Metro Transit Maintenance Facility project on East Washington Avenue. Learn more about this and other public art projects and how the program works in this 20-minute podcast episode. City of Madison Engineering Division Public Information Hannah Mohelnitzky hosts City of Madison Planning Division Principal Planner Bill Fruhling to explain about the ordinance and how it's a part of our community. https://media.cityofmadison.com/Mediasite/Play/508da8f810af43cb988dc3a031cbc3651d

48: Agile Arts Leadership in the Nonprofit Sector (Devlin McNeil)SUMMARYHow do you manage an Arts organization when every aspect of your program is disrupted? Perhaps no nonprofit sector has more challenges right now than Arts & Culture organizations, given the limitations to programming, performances and gatherings. And with the philanthropic community understandably focused on health and human services, the Arts sector faces even greater needs for agile leadership. Fortunately, Devlin McNeil, the President & Executive Director of Arts+, provides great insight as to how any organization can adapt and change despite challenges from every direction in episode #48 of the Path Podcast. In addition to her change management strategies, Devlin and I discussed how she’s attracted and retained a very talented team of staff leaders, as well as built an incredibly dynamic board of directors. She also provides great insight about evaluating and ultimately choosing the right nonprofit leadership role to fit your personal mission and career goals. ABOUT DEVLINDevlin joined Community School of the Arts (CSA), now Arts+, in June 2013. As President & Executive Director, she is responsible for the leadership and management of the organization, facilitates programs and key partnerships, and directs efforts to ensure sustainable funding. Devlin received her BFA, as a non-traditional student, from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) with concentrations in Photography and Art History and has completed coursework for the Master of Arts in Arts Administration (MAAA) program at Winthrop University. Prior to her role at Arts+, she worked for McColl Center for Visual Art for 10 1⁄2 years – with a brief hiatus of 10 months to work with the Public Art Program of the Charlotte Area Transit System. Her roles at McColl Center included Marketing, Education Director, Program Director, and before leaving her tenure there, Chief Operating Officer. Devlin began her career in non-profit arts management after formerly working for First Union National Bank (now Wells Fargo) and brings a complementary blend of non-profit and corporate experience to her role as Executive Director. She has been a presenter at the North Carolina Arts Education Conference, a panelist for the United Arts Council of Greater Greensboro and the Charlotte Area Transit System—where she also served as a curator, and a juror for many art competitions including UNC Charlotte and Scholastics. She has associations with NAEA – National Art Education Association, National Guild for Community Arts Education, Charlotte Symphony Guild, Women Executives, and serves on the board of the Charlotte Lesbian and Gay Fund.

In this episode, we will discuss how Palo Alto supports its artist community and how they plan years in advance to integrate artwork into to the building process. We explore the fine line between accommodating the positive psychological impact art can have on a community and the merit of more challenging, thought provoking pieces. We also discuss the benefits of temporary art, and how a short time frame can allow for more experimentation and spectacle.

We discuss how to ensure artwork is site specific and relevant while avoiding design by committee, the trend of including a “selfie moment” in mural art, whether murals should be considered temporary or permanent art and why mural art is one of the most litigious type of art to get made.

"Something New," Public Art's newest program, will be officially unveiled on the First Friday Art Walk, July 6th from 6-8 pm.  The Public Art Committee, a subcommittee of Arts & Humanities Bainbridge, partners with the City of Bainbridge Island to manage and facilitate COBI’s Public Art Program.  Their newest project, “Something New,” consists of a rotating public art venture, featuring sculptures by regional artists to be displayed for one year within the Winslow corridor.  Last Fall, the Bainbridge Island City Council approved funding for this one-year pilot project for public art.  The Public Art Committee conducted a call for art, selected a jury and collaborated with COBI’s Public Works department to design pedestals for the selected sculptures.  Selections were made in  March, the artists were notified in April, pedestals were built in May and the sculptures are being installed in June.    The three chosen pieces and locations are: “Hand in Hand by William Robinson (to be placed in Waterfront Park across from the Senior Center), “Iris Flare” by Lin McJunkin and Milo White (to be placed on Winslow Way near the intersection with Erickson Avenue) and “Three Color Spires” by Gerry Newcomb, which will stand in the harbor-side plaza at the southern end of Madison Avenue.   For the official unveiling of “Something New” on July 6th, the Public Art Committee will have a tent on Winslow Way and provide shuttle rides between the three locations, allowing the community to view the selected pieces and meet the artists.  All are welcome to join the festivities.   While the bases are permanent, the art is not.  Once approved by City Council, the next round of art will be selected and installed in 2019.   “Something New” supports the Cultural Element of COBI’s Comprehensive Plan by creating a stimulating visual environment on Bainbridge Island.  The Public Art Program and the Public Art Committee provide stewardship of the City’s public art portfolio, allowing the community to experience great art, to support local artists, and and to foster the creative process in our region.   For more info visit www.ahbainbridge.org.  Credits: BCB host: John Fossett; audio tech: Chris Walker; audio editor and social media publisher, Diane Walker.
