Farmers Branch to ask city for placement plan after Westside art remains in storage
Summary
Artists who sold pieces to the city say their work remains in storage while committee members pressed staff for a placement plan and a firm schedule; committee agreed to prepare a placement recommendation for a vote at the next meeting.
The Farmers Branch Arts & Culture Committee asked staff to prepare a placement plan and maps for the Westside Art Trail after members revealed purchased sculptures remain in storage and developers and medians recently came under city control.
Committee members said the purchased artworks are still stored at the city service center and that installation was delayed while they waited for developer park work and transfer of median maintenance to the city. Staff confirmed the city now controls the medians along Mercer and Whittington and the developer has finished park work in the Mercer Park area, meaning the city can move forward on siting art pieces there.
