Palo Alto Public Art Commission unanimously accepts donated work by Nina Egmond
Summary
The Palo Alto Public Art Commission voted unanimously to accept a 47-by-31-inch donation from artist Nina Egmond to the city's collection; the piece will rotate through city facilities per the public art program's standard practice.
The Palo Alto Public Art Commission voted unanimously to accept a donation of artwork from artist Nina Egmond during a meeting where commissioners handled several routine items.
The donated work measures about 47 by 31 inches and, according to staff, reflects the artist's time at Cubberley. Commissioners moved and seconded the motion to accept the gift and completed a roll call that recorded all members present voting in favor.
The acceptance adds the piece to the commission's collection, which staff said is rotated through public-facing city facilities, including libraries and community centers. A staff member, Nadia, said the city also posts its collection online, and some works are kept in a small storage cage in the basement of the art center when not on display.
The motion to accept the gift was moved and seconded on the record; the roll call recorded affirmative votes from Commissioner Miyagi, Commissioner Gordon, Commissioner Smith, Commissioner Stern, Commissioner De La Garza, Vice Chair Walchuk and the chair (name not specified in the transcript). No oppositions, abstentions or recusals were recorded.
No additional funding or programmatic commitments were recorded as part of the acceptance. Staff and commissioners discussed display and storage logistics briefly before moving to the next agenda item.
