ITEM 2 - PRESENTATION ON AVENUE OF THE ARTS - RUTH WATERS Ruth Waters explained that "Avenue of the Arts" is a regional public art exhibition where sculptures are placed at various public locations free of charge. The art pieces are selected by a juror and are rotated every two years. This year the art pieces will be on display at sites extending from Half Moon Bay to Redwood Shores. Ms. Waters said she has been working with the Architectural Review Board of Redwood Shores Properties, Inc. to locate sites in Redwood Shores. She explained that the owners of the proposed sites would be responsible for the general liability insurance and the artist would be responsible for the damage insurance for the sculpture. Ms. Waters was asked how the Cultural Commission could become involved in this project and participate in some aspect of the public relations for the project. She noted that she located a potential art site in Redwood Shores which is o`wned by the City and suggested that the Commission might get the process started to use this piece of property for the next exhibition cycle. Ms. Waters stated that the Commission could help with an honoraria to the artists of $200.00 which could help offset the transportation costs of bringing the art work to the sites. Commissioner Filippi said he would like to have some type of rotating art in Redwood City proper and would like �o run the liability issue by the City Attorney.
