Commission approves $2,000 support for South Broadway mural contingent on landlord agreement
Summary
Artist Dan Levinson presented a South Broadway mural mock-up and the commission voted to approve $2,000 in Cultural Arts Commission support contingent on receipt of a signed permission document from the property owner; Levinson proposed an anti-graffiti coating and a fall installation timeline.
Artist Dan Levinson presented updated mock-ups for a large-scale mural proposed for the South Broadway corridor, describing a portrait-style composition with Korean text that the artist said "means nice to know you." Levinson said he had coordinated with a building owner who has signed a permission form and discussed surface treatment and maintenance plans, including anti-graffiti coating and a willingness to assist with future touch-ups.
After questions about permissions and maintenance, a commissioner asked for a motion to approve the commission's $2,000 contribution contingent upon a signed document from the landlord. The motion was moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote. Staff agreed to file the signed document and work with the artist on a proposed fall installation timeline; Levinson said mid-October would be ideal depending on weather and scheduling.
Levinson also offered to return with the building owner to answer questions if the commission requested more direct confirmation of ongoing maintenance responsibilities. The commission recorded the approval as contingent on the property-owner agreement being on file.
