Summary

The DDA discussed relocating current artwork and adding new pieces to the Pocket Park in front of Blind Pig Tavern, but recommended deferring placement and selection to the city’s art master plan group rather than taking immediate action.

Jan Watson-Greer outlined a proposal to move the current art in the Pocket Park (in front of Blind Pig Tavern) to a new location and to add new pieces to the Pocket Park. The DDA recommended that the art master plan group handle decisions about moving and replacing artwork rather than the DDA taking an immediate decision.

Members emphasized that the master plan group is better suited to advise on placement, selection and public-art strategy. No vote or funding decision was recorded; the discussion was captured as a recommendation to defer to the art master plan process.
