Discussion At the Cultural Arts Committee meeting on February 8, 2023, City staff provided an informational presentation on the conceptual design for the Discover Palm Desert Visitors Center, which is currently in the design phase and includes potential locations for public art. On March 8, 2023, the Cultural Arts Committee held a study session to discuss public art opportunities for the center. During the study session, a site visit to the location was recommended so that members could get an idea of the physical layout to assist with suggestions for public art commissions. Below is a list of additional comments made during the study session: •Water is problematic and should not be considered for any public art. •Lighting and electrical components should be installed for all sculpture and mural locations. •Artworks will need to be organized in phases according to the fiscal year budgets. •Phase one should include a large sculpture to be installed at the opening of the building. •Phase two should include two (2) of the three (3) murals that are on public facing walls – possibly hold off on the last mural that faces the skatepark. •Additional installations to be continued in consecutive years. Surveyors will be outlining the Discover Palm Desert Visitors Center site with chalk on Friday, June 9, 2023, and the outline will be available for viewing through Friday, June 16, 2023. In order for the Cultural Arts Committee members to conduct an in-person site visit during the meeting on Wednesday, June 14, 2023, the meeting will adjourn during the site visit and resume when we return to the Administrative Conference Room. In order to follow Brown Act laws, members and staff will not be permitted to discuss public art suggestions onsite, but rather, will need to wait until they return to the room. Once the meeting recommences, staff will request suggestions from members regarding commissioning artworks for the project. Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact associated with this request.
