CPAC ramps outreach for Art Around Town call; discusses repairs using 1% for the arts
Summary
The Public Art Commission confirmed Feb. 10 as the Art Around Town application deadline, reviewed outreach and ad logistics, and discussed prioritizing permanent sculpture repairs from the commission's 1% fund (balance cited about $32,000).
Carbondale’s Public Art Commission reviewed outreach plans for the annual Art Around Town call for artists, confirmed an application deadline, and discussed ongoing permanent-sculpture repair priorities funded from the town’s 1% for the arts account.
CPAC members said they had posted the call across local channels and requested help widening distribution. Members asked staff to fix a nonfunctioning QR code in the advertising and to run a newspaper ad; Laurie (town staff) agreed to provide application tallies to the commission on a regular schedule. The commission confirmed Feb. 10 as the call deadline.
On collection care, CPAC reported that small repairs identified in an earlier inventory have been completed and that medium repairs — including a corroding welded painted sculpture near the recreation center — will require appraisals and multiple quotes before work begins. A town representative cited the 1% balance at roughly $32,000 and said repair decisions will follow cost estimates and available funds.
Next steps: staff will circulate corrected outreach materials and application-count updates ahead of Feb. 10. Commissioners volunteered to locate an appraiser and to collect restoration quotes for medium repairs; final repair decisions will be made after estimates are compared with 1% fund availability.
