The City received 22 responses from the call. The submittals were reviewed at the April 28, 2015 Southlake Arts Council meeting, where the Council selected Dream Big Sculpture, Kathleen Caricof, and Mark Leichliter as finalists for the project. Final concepts are shown on the following slides. 4 Dream Big Sculpture “Celebrate” Dream Big Sculpture’s concept “Celebrate” 5 Mark Leichliter “High Note” Mark Leichliter’s concept “High Note” 6 Kathleen Caricof “The Musicians” Kathleen Caricof’s concept “The Musicians” 7 Dream Big Sculpture “Celebrate”- Revised After review of the final concepts, Arts Council requested revisions to “Celebrate” by Dream Big Sculpture Revisions included more detail in the ribbons to reflect interest in visual arts and the addition of a leotard to the dancing figure. These images show the revised concept from Dream Big. 8 Kathleen Caricof “Southlake Constellation” In addition, the Arts Council recommended that Kathleen Caricof’s concept “Texas Sky - Constellation”, which was originally submitted for the roundabout project, be considered as a finalist for The Marq project instead. Ms. Caricof returned this concept titled “Southlake Constellation” 9 Southlake Arts Council Recommendation After review of the two revised final concepts from Dream Big Sculpture and Kathleen Caricof, the Southlake Arts Council unanimously selected Kathleen Caricof’s “Southlake Constellation” concept as their recommended art piece for The Marq Southlake. In particular, the Arts Council liked how the stars interacted with one another and were reminiscent of people dancing. 10 Financial Considerations Funding in the amount of $100,000 included in project budget Funding in the amount of $100,000 has been included in the project budget for the design and installation of public art at The Marq Southlake as recommended in the 2030 Public Art Master Plan and Public Art Policy. 11 City of Southlake Strategy Map Critical Business Outcomes CBO1 - Continue to implement Southlake 2030 Plan by focusing on short-term initiatives.
