Public Sculpture Program
Program details:
— 21 proposed sites
— Begin in Frank Edgar Cornish, IV
Park
— McPherson Park sculpture garden
— Permanent & temporary art
pieces
— 4 phases of implementation
— Extends program throughout
Town Square
Staff worked with art consultant John Kinkade to develop a public sculpture program
appropriate to Southlake's unique design. The proposed program includes 21 sites
of both permanent and temporary art pieces. It extends throughout Southlake Town
Square and will be implemented over 4 phases. The original program
recommended phase I begin in McPherson Park, however the Southlake Arts
Council was concerned about future construction in the area and recommended the
program begin in Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park instead. McPherson Park will be
the focal point of the program as it is transformed into a sculpture garden featuring
both permanent and on -loan art pieces.

Proposed Implementation
Fiscal Year Location
Phase I FY 2013 Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park
Phase II FY 2014 McPherson Park — Courtyard
Phase III FY 2015 McPherson Park — Seating Areas &
Entrances
Phase IV FY 2016 & Beyond Town Square Sites & Family /Rustin
Parks
The table you see here depicts the proposed implementation plan. As noted, Phase
I will begin this fiscal year in Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park. Phase II will be
implemented in FY 2014 and includes the proposed sculpture courtyard in
McPherson Park. Phase III is planned for FY 2015 and includes seating areas and
the entrances into McPherson Park. Phase IV will begin in FY 2016 and includes
the additional Town Square sites and Family /Rustin Parks. This phase could extend
beyond FY 2016 as the sites are designed and art pieces procured.
will go into more detail about each phase on the next few slides.

Phase I
Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park
Includes:
• :• 2 on -loan art pieces
•:• Infrastructure &
pedestals
Phase I of the Public Sculpture Program begins in Frank Edgar Cornish, IV Park
with two (2) on -loan art pieces (shown in blue on the aerial photo) and the
necessary infrastructure and pedestals. Staff felt this was an ideal place for the on-
loan program as the park is in the middle of Town Square near many popular retail
and restaurant destinations. This would appeal to potential artists looking for a
place to put their on -loan pieces.
Also in Phase I, the City's Public Art Policy will be revised to address issues related
to a Public Sculpture Program including agreements for temporary and on -loan art,
a stipend program, a guarantee to purchase program and any fees due to the City
for purchased art.

Phase II, which will be implemented in FY 2014, moves the Public Sculpture
Program to McPherson Park with the design and construction of a sculpture
courtyard adjacent to the Hilton Hotel. The courtyard will feature three (3)
permanent and two (2) on -loan art pieces (shown in blue on the concept plan), with
a prominent permanent piece placed at the tip of the courtyard near the pond.

features or gateways (shown in red on the concept plan).

Phase IV
Town Square - Grand Ave

The final phase begins in FY 2016 and continues the Public Sculpture Program
throughout Town Square. It includes seven (7) permanent and on -loan art pieces
that stretch from McPherson Park down to Rustin /Family Park. As noted previously,
this phase could expend over several years as sites are constructed and art pieces
procured.
On this slide you see the proposed site for a public art piece on Grand Avenue at
the corner of Anthropology.
