MEMORANDUM
February 22, 2023
To: Southlake Arts Council
From: Milenka Lopez, Assistant to the Director
Subject: Approve displaying Art in the Square Youth Art Competition Winner during
Southlake Presents Exhibit
Action
Requested: Southlake Arts Council approval of displaying Art in the Square
Youth Art Competition Winner during Southlake Presents Exhibit
Background
Information: Each year the Southlake Arts Council partners with select
collaborators and community groups to bring art to the community.
The purpose of this item is to consider adding the artwork of the
Youth Art in the Square Competition Winner during the FY2023
Southlake Presents exhibit. The Art in the Square event will be held
April 28, 2023- April 30, 2023, a winner for the Youth Art Competition
will be selected at that time.
Historically, the winner of the Youth Art in the Square Competition
displayed their work at the Capitol Building in Austin. As the Capitol
is no longer accepting art work for display, Art in the Square is
requesting to display the Youth Art in the Square Competition Winner
alongside the Southlake Presents exhibit.
The Southlake Arts Council approved the Permit for the Display
and/or Performance of Art in a Public Facility or Property submitted
for the Southlake Presents exhibit at their August 23, 2022,
meeting. The permit allows for Southlake Presents exhibit to
showcase artwork from the 2023 local Featured Artists. The Youth
Art in the Square Competition Winner meets the standard of a local
featured artist; therefore, not requiring an additional permit
application to be submitted.
The Southlake Presents exhibit will require less than 30% of the
lobby wall space and will be hung on wall panels using the same

available space to display additional art pieces. The exhibit will be
managed and maintained by the City of Southlake staff. The exhibit
is sponsored by the Southlake Arts Council and APEX Arts League,
which also sponsors the Strokes of Art in the Square exhibit.
The Southlake Presents exhibit will be displayed in Town Hall May
12, 2023, through June 30, 2023.
Financial
Considerations: Not Applicable
Strategic Link: Approval of this item is linked to the City's Strategy Map related to
