Item 4H4H-1 CITY OF SOUTH LAKE MEMORANDUM April 30, 2014 To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Candice Edmondson, Deputy Director of Community Services Subject: Approve permit for CISD Art Exhibit April 24-26, 2015 in Town Hall in conjunction with the Art in the Square festival Action Requested: City Council approval of a permit to display CISD artworks in Town Hall April 24-26, 2015 in conjunction with the annual Art in the Square festival Background Information: The permit requires a recommendation from the Southlake Arts Council and approval by the City Council. If approved, the 2015 art exhibit will be the fifth consecutive year of the CISD exhibit in Southlake. The display permit was submitted by the Southlake Public Library for an exhibit in Town Hall to feature over 200 art pieces selected by CISD art teachers from grades K-12 art classes. The exhibit will consist of both floor and wall displays. Freestanding, portable floor panels will be used to display the art pieces in the main Town Hall lobby, in the courtroom lobby area and in the lobby area outside the library. Artwork will also be displayed in the 3rd floor training rooms in combination wall and floor displays. Just as in previous years, the CISD art exhibit will coincide with the concluding dates of the Strokes of Art in the Square exhibit. The simultaneous exhibits in Town Hall lobby do not create a space conflict since the CISD art pieces are mounted on floor panel units and the other exhibit will be hung on the lobby walls. The CISD exhibit will be managed and maintained by City of Southlake Library staff and CISD art teachers who will monitor the displays during the Art in the Square event. Coordination of set up and tear down of the artwork will be handled by City staff. Proposed exhibit schedule (hours of operation) will be determined closer to the event date. The exhibition is not a fundraising event, but is held concurrently with Art in the Square.
