Board considers bronzing maquette by Seth Vandebul for library display; staff to request quote
Summary
Board discussed bronzing a maquette for durability and potential display locations; artist estimated about $1,500 to bronze the piece and staff will ask for a formal quote.
The Public Arts Advisory Board discussed whether to have artist Seth Vandebul’s maquette for a walking-trails piece bronzed for durability and long-term display.
A staff member reported the board’s favorable response to Vandebul’s maquette and said Vandebul estimated it would cost “probably about $1,500” to bronze the model. The staff member said the maquette could be displayed in the city library and might be loaned to the Caddo museum for an exhibit.
Board members expressed support for bronzing the maquette as an investment in a durable, exhibit-ready object. One board member said Vandebul had noted some incidental damage while scaling the piece but planned to repair it as he worked, and the member supported bronzing the repaired maquette.
The staff member said they would request a formal written quote from the artist for bronzing and return to the board with cost details. No formal funding decision or vote was taken at the meeting.
