approval process for temporary planned visual art exhibits and
temporary ad hoc visual art exhibits in all city facilities, as well as
guidelines for approval of permanent, purchased or donated art
exhibits or pieces in a city facility or on city property.
The items for Southlake Arts Council's consideration at this time
are revisions to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.6, and 4.7.
Revisions to sections 4.1 and 4.2 would allow for the Southlake
Arts Council to have final approval for temporary planned visual art
exhibits and temporary ad hoc visual art exhibits that meet the
established guidelines within the policy.
The proposed revisions also change established guidelines
regarding maximum exhibit length.
The proposed revision removes the maximum exhibit length of two
weeks, and allows the length of the exhibit to be determined by the
Southlake Arts Council. Of the exhibits displayed in 2015 and 2016,
100% requested, and were granted, an exception by the City
Council to exceed the two week maximum exhibit length. Exhibit
lengths have ranged from four weeks to ten weeks. If the proposed
revision is approved, the Southlake Arts Council would establish
exhibit length on a case -by -case basis.

Currently, approval for temporary planned visual art exhibits and
temporary ad hoc visual art exhibits requires City Council final
approval with a recommendation by the Southlake Arts Council.
The revision would reduce City Council agenda load and expedite
the approval process of the temporary exhibits and performances
that meet the policy's established guidelines. Staff would provide
updates on exhibit schedules to the City Council.
Examples of the temporary exhibits and performances which would
be impacted by the policy change include:
January
Sister Cities Young Artists Showcase
February
Strokes of Art In the Square Reception & Exhibit
April
CISD Art Exhibit
September
Fall Art Gallery Reception & Exhibit
Under the proposed revision, the City Council still would have final
approval over all exhibits requiring an exception from the revised
policy guidelines.
Proposed revisions to Section 4.3 state that City department
displays specifically regarding art may be available for Southlake
Arts Council review. The update to the process mirrors the process
established in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 and creates consistency.
The proposed revision to Section 4.6 is to properly capitalize "City."
Revisions to Section 4.7 would remove the wording, "Prices of the
artwork cannot be visibly displayed" and would allow for pricing to
be posted alongside the artist's contact information.
A revision to the policy allowing the visual display of prices may
encourage greater participation of artists in the City's art exhibits
and provide opportunities for higher caliber art displays for citizens
to enjoy. Revising the policy is in line with the current practice of
similar public art programs. Area cities such as the City of Keller
and the City of Grapevine currently post pricing information during
their art exhibits.
Prices would be posted for future gallery exhibits as appropriate. All
artists are required to sign a waiver releasing the City from liability.
The approval process for permanent art exhibits or art pieces
purchased by the City, including donated pieces, found in Section 5
of the policy, is not affected by this request and would remain

The Tarrant County Archives, under the auspices of the Tarrant
County Commissioners Court, has in its possession a professionally -
created, museum -quality exhibition that documents the history of aviation
in North Texas; and it is available on loan.
Southlake Historical Society board members and Southlake Arts
Council member Terri Messing have visited the archives and have met
with Tarrant County archivist Dr. Dawn Youngblood to discuss mounting
the exhibit in Southlake Town Hall this summer 2016.
The exhibit includes 18 full color panels. Each panel measures 3'
wide x 7'tall x 27" in depth; the concave panels (created to simulate the
inside of a plane's fuselage) are light -weight and easily moved into place.
The panels present a North Texas -aviation timeline that begins in 1911
and highlights aircraft manufacturing, military, commercial and general
aviation throughout the area.
Also available are approximately 50 aviation photographs,
postcards and personal memorabilia currently showcased in lighted
display cases at the archives.
The society sees this exhibit, already rich in visuals and well -
researched, as an opportunity for the city to bring to its residents and
visitors a lesson on the impact of aviation on North Texas.
A Starting Point
The society wants to add to the exhibit Southlake's aviation history:
the stories of area pilots who moved here to be close to the DFW
International Airport and helped grow the city; the remembrances of
aviators who carved out a handful of small, private grass airstrips
Page 2
3C-6
Southlake Historical Society
March 9, 2016
beginning in the 1960s; and discussions of the continuing impact the
Dallas -Fort Worth International Airport and Alliance Airport have on the
economic life of Southlake. Society board members have begun
reaching out to residents associated with aviation for their oral histories
and personal aviation mementos to be included on display in the exhibit.
n addition, the society would like to present speakers and panel
discussions about aviation during the exhibit. Dr. Youngblood has offered
to introduce the exhibit and participate in any panel discussions. Other
speakers could include past city leaders, representatives from the Dallas -
Fort Worth International Airport, authors who have researched and
written about the importance of aviation to our area and local residents,
such as long-time resident and aviator Zena Rucker.
The society would like to partner with the Southlake Library during
the summer 2016 summer reading program to incorporate the exhibit
and aviation -related activities for students. The society has spoken with
Southlake librarian Cynthia Pfledderer and youth librarian Stacy Wells
about such a partnership.
Location of panels inside Southlake Town Hall
The society recommends that panels be positioned back-to-back
and placed between selected pillars inside Town Hall; this positioning will
not in any way obstruct the entrances into the lobby, impede the traffic
flow through the lobby or intrude on the entrances to council chambers
or the municipal court.
When two panels are placed back-to-back, they measure 4.5' deep.
Minus the 18" depth of the pillars, each set of back-to-back panels will
extend approximately 1.5 feet in front of and behind the pillars.

More Than 100 Years
of Aviation History
Aviation has been a part of the culture of North
Texas for more than a century. Just a few years after
the invention of powered flight, aviation pioneers
began taking to the skies over the region. Since
then, North Texas has become a global center of
innovation in aerospace. This was brought about by
a progressive evolution in achievements that span
from flight and training in the earliest aircraft made
from wood and canvas to the modern design and
manufacture of the most advanced helicopters, jets,
1 and rocket systems that push the boundaries of
aerospace technology.

AV I AT �nrr`�rJ
After America entered World War I in 1917. the United
States Army Air Service established military flight training
facilities and airfields in North Texas: Love Field in Dallas,
Call Field in Wichita Falls. and Rich Field in Waco. That year.
the U.S., British and Canadian governments also agreed to
loin forces on military flight training and three more airfields
were developed near Fort Worth where the Royal Flying Corps
trained. Since then, North Texas has played an important
role in helping America become the world leading anpower.
During World War 11, many new military airfields were
constructed throughout the region such as the Fort Worth
Army Airfield, known currently as the Fort Worth Naval Air
Station Joint Reserve Base. Today, North Texas remains vital
to the military for flight training and operations.

Location of display Items inside Town Hall
The memorabilia items should be exhibited in four lighted and
keyed display cases. The Southlake Library has such cases and is
amenable to using them in the exhibit.
The society recommends that two cases be placed in the lobby
(highlighted circle #8 in lobby image shown above) and the two
remaining cases stay in the library. Visitors would be encouraged to
continue viewing the exhibit by moving downstairs to the library. There
are several maps, aerial photographs and posters ready for hanging that
could displayed on the walls of the library as well.

Vernon Castle (1887.1918) crashed at the age of 31 in Benbrook, Texas,
having accomplished more in his short life than many do in three times
the years. He and his bride Irene have been hailed as the first pop
superstars of the 20th century. During World War 1, Vernon joined the
Royal Flying Corps, was quickly commissioned as an officer, and flew
300 combat missions. He shot down two German planes and was
awarded the French Croix de Guerre. He returned to the U.S. to teach
aviation. On February 15, 1918, while successfully avoiding crashing into
a cadet -piloted plane, Vernon nose dived from only 75 feet. Vernon's pet
monkey, Jeffrey, who was with him at the time survived the crash
unharmed. The former Benbrook Field where the crash occurred is now
a housing development - a sculpture of a metal biplane by Benbrook
resident David Crutchfield memorializes the site.

The society thinks the city has a unique opportunity.
The society has presented programs in the past about the importance of aviation to
Southlake, but nothing like this exhibit. Already rich with information about North Texas, this
exhibit would be a starting point. We are willing to do the work to gather Southlake residents'
aviation oral histories and memorabilia which will give another dimension to the exhibit.
As for what the exhibit would cost, the Tarrant County Archives has been very positive
about loaning the exhibit to the city at no cost for a time period to be determined by the
city. In addition, since the archives is under the auspices of the Tarrant County
Commissioner's Court, Dr. Youngblood has been very open about the possibility of the
county helping with cost of transporting the panels and individual display items to and from
Southlake.
As a side note, the society is lucky to have the continuing support of a member of that
court, Commissioner Gary Fickes, who as you may know, is the original founder of the
Southlake Historical Society and is a lifetime member. We feel certain that Commissioner
Fickes will be open to any needs the city and the society may have in making sure this exhibit
is up to the expectations of city staff, city council and Southlake residents.
We look forward to discussing the possibilities of this exhibit in more detail at your
convenience. Thank you.
