Background On September 23, 2023, the Public Art Department sent out a Call for Mural Artists to submit proposals for a community project to create a mural on the side of the City’s Corporate Yard exterior wall located at 74705 42nd Avenue to honor Palm Desert’s hard- working staff for their tireless efforts serving the community during and after Tropical Storm Hilary. At its November 8, 2023, Cultural Arts Committee meeting, the Committee selected mural artist, Robert “Trinity” Rivard to complete the project. In effort to develop a draft design, Trinity consulted with Public Works staff to gain a better understanding of what it was like to work through Tropical Storm Hilary. Additionally, City staff created an EngagePalmDesert.com page to encourage residents to provide input of their own experiences which has been promoted through social media. Staff is currently requesting input on the artist’s draft mural design. The Committee’s comments will be considered, and the draft design will be taken back to the Public Works staff for their review and final input. A final design will be brought back to the Cultural Arts Committee for approval before the community project moves forward. Fiscal Analysis Funding for this project is available in the FY 2023/2024 Public Art Fund.

Background At its January 17, 2024, special meeting, staff presented the Cultural Arts Committee with information regarding development of a Workplan for FY 2024/2025. On January 18, 2024, staff sent an email to all CAC members requesting two (2) or three (3) priorities, including justification to clarify the impact and significance of each priority. The submissions have been compiled below and will be open for discussion at the February meeting to select the top three (3) priorities/areas of focus for FY 2024/2025. Ranking Priority Justification 1 El Paseo Sculpture Exhibition •The exhibition is in the central shopping district and receives frequent foot traffic. •Exhibition adds elegance and style to El Paseo. 2 San Pablo Roundabout Phase II – Dueling Palms •Received community’s involvement and support of the City Council. 3 Desert X •Participate in an internationally recognized contemporary art exhibition associated with the other communities in the Coachella Valley.

Public Art Priorities FY 2024/2025 2. Cultural Arts Committee Workplan Goals FY 2024/2025 – Power Point Presentation Page 20 Public Art Priorities 2024-2025 2025-2026 El Paseo Sculpture Exhibition Located in the median on El Paseo between Hwy 74 and Portola, eighteen (18) sculptures are displayed for two (2) years. A $5,000 honorarium is awarded to each artist. One (1) year preparation from the Call for Entries to Installation. From July to early 2024, staff will be working with the new artists on contracting and plans for installation, as well as the current artists on plans for deinstallation and pick up of sculptures. El Paseo Sculpture Exhibition Purchase and Installation As the 2023-2024 El Paseo Sculpture Exhibition comes to a close, the Cultural Arts Committee will review the sculptures and identify one or two for possible purchase and installation in Palm Desert. Staff will need to work with the artists on contacts for purchase, as well as finding locations for potential installation. Once installation location(s) is identified, arrangements will need to be made for foundation installation which may require engineered plans. San Pablo Phase II Roundabout: Dueling Palms by Kyle Absolom The roundabout located on San Pablo Ave and College of the Desert/YMCA/Civic Center is due to receive the public art sculpture Dueling Palms. After the Call for Entries was released in early 2021 for the roundabout at San Pablo Ave and San Gorgonio Way, the top two (2) finalists were selected by the City Council and the community voted on their favorite. The runner up, Dueling Palms, was such a strong proposal that City Council requested its consideration for the roundabout located at the entrance of the Civic Center, College of the Desert and San Pablo. Staff will bring this forward for Cultural Arts Committee and City Council review in the next few months and if approved, work will commence on contracting with the artist along with other work that may be required to prepare the roundabout for install. Desert X Internationally renowned contemporary art exhibition that runs for approximately nine (9) weeks in the spring throughout the Coachella Valley. Desert X has historically submitted a formal request and proposal for funding and site locations. Funds are normally used towards exhibition support and the creation of free public programming in Palm Desert. In the past, two (site) locations have been used for this exhibition. This exhibition engages the local community and has worked to develop educational programming for the local school districts. If funding for the 2025 exhibition is approved, staff will work with the organizer on sponsorship agreement and permitting for at least two sites. Maintenance and Restoration of City-owned Artwork Staff will begin surveying City-owned artwork to determine a maintenance and restoration schedule. Staff will work with new software application, Cartegraph, to input a maintenance and repair schedule.
