SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve Design Concept for Water Tank Mural Located on FL 580 in Countryside
Body
SUMMARY:
A jury panel made up of art professionals, including members of the Clearwater Arts Alliance, Clearwater’s Public Art and Design Board, as well as City of Clearwater employees from the Public Utilities and Cultural Affairs departments, selected four artist finalists for the water tank project. This was a blind jury and no information about artists were given. Scores were based solely on past works of art, design and style. The finalists submitted a formal proposal with design concepts. The panel selected artist Christian Stanley of CStanleyCreative for this project. The design concept “tailing” was the panel’s favorite design, and we ask for approval of the design by the Public Art and Design Board. Installation will begin in 2024.
