Committee approves $31,468 water-tank art wrap and $8,000 arts exhibit tied to shelter fundraising
Summary
The West Haven ARPA Committee approved a $31,468 artist wrap for a decommissioned water tank on Shingle Hill (mayor-funded) and an $8,000 Dale Rogers Studio exhibit that committee say will generate donations for the animal shelter.
The West Haven ARPA Committee on March 3 approved two arts-related expenditures: a $31,468 invoice for an art wrap on a decommissioned water tank and an $8,000 payment to Dale Rogers Studio for a 10-foot-high dog sculpture exhibit.
Chair said the water-tank wrap is paid from the mayor’s arts bucket and will be installed on a tank on Shingle Hill. Committee members asked for clarification on the location; the chair confirmed it and said the item is a West Haven business project. The committee moved and approved the payment by voice vote.
Committee members also approved an $8,000 payment to Dale Rogers Studio for an arts exhibit near The Rock. The chair said several businesses are donating money to the animal shelter as a result of the exhibit and that the exhibit will happen around May 1. A committee member asked whether the payment was a deposit or balance; the chair said he did not have that detail in the meeting but that approval was necessary for the event to proceed.
The committee did not record a detailed public discussion in the transcript beyond location clarification and the chair’s note that the mayor is funding the water-tank wrap. Both motions carried by voice vote and the meeting adjourned shortly afterward.
