Public art project updates: Luby mural installation, Old Hickory and Bordeaux timelines; staffing moves underway at Metro Arts
Summary
Committee received updates on multiple projects: the Luby Community Center mural installation and title, Old Hickory fabrication and November installation target, Bordeaux Gateway excess-land work and participatory budgeting follow-up, Strobel House engineering steps, and Metro Arts hiring progress.
Metro Arts staff on April 17 briefed the Public Art Committee on several ongoing projects and on staffing searches that will affect the department's capacity in the coming months.
The committee heard that the Luby Community Center mural is nearing installation. Jesse (Metro Arts staff) said installers are prepping the wall and that the artist team — led by Alicia — finished painting panels; the mural uses a product called Polytab ("mural cloth") and staff said installation of the adhered panels should take about three weeks with a mid‑May target to finish installation. The project has an artist title: "They Fought With Words: leaders, lawyers, and educators." Anne Leslie was listed as responsible for collection acceptance and condition assessment.
