Knowing if an artwork will be appreciated <br />or relevant in the future is impossible to predict. <br />Embracing the process, selecting the appropriate <br />artist, proper research, and hiring expert art advisors <br />help mitigate the risks. The long term goals should <br />be to continually add to the City’s outdoor museum <br />with only the highest level artworks possible <br />created by children, local and internationals artists. <br />Each category should have their own metrics but <br />“excellence and unique” are common goals. The <br />long-term vision of an “outdoor museum” should <br />remain at the forefront of every decision so that the <br />process is additive. With each new artwork a new <br />voice, experience, aesthetic, demographic, geographic <br />location, material, concept, etc. can be made. <br />The city has land assets or can partner with local <br />businesses to use vacant property or landmasses. Our <br />report has identified some of the main potential sites <br />to accommodate freestanding installations, artworks, <br />sculptures, temporary art exhibitions, etc. <br />maximum visibility <br />– large budget <br />It makes sense to begin with projects for locations that <br />will have the most impact for viewer experience. The <br />City should first address these key sites. Most are <br />near downtown since a critical mass visits or passes <br />through on a daily basis. In all cases, public art in <br />these key sites would make a huge impact, but would <br />also require large budgets to implement. They will <br />require time to fundraise and complete the creative <br />process so the City and CCC should commence the <br />discussion and action asap. <br />Sequoia Station / Safeway, CVS, <br />back of downtown library walls <br />Jefferson Street underpass wall <br />Courthouse walkway <br />Courthouse wall <br /> ATT building <br /> Marston by Windsor walls <br /> ATT Tower <br />County Jail walls facing Hwy 101 <br />Post office <br /> <br />Cemex towers <br />Redwood Shores bridge <br />Redwood City Gateways <br />Underpass on El Camino Real <br />Arguello Plaza 8.A. - Page 51
