SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Discuss and Vote on Mosaic Sculpture at Marina Walk
Body
SUMMARY:
The Board previously voted to install Floaty Totem by artist Eileen Gay at the Clearwater Marina. However, after discussions with the Marine & Aviation Department and marina tenants, concerns were raised that elements of the design resembled mooring balls, which are not permitted in Clearwater.
The Arts & Cultural Affairs Department felt that a mosaic piece was still the best fit for this location. Eileen Gay has developed two alternate designs, Ketch and Conchiouness, for consideration. Both designs have been approved by the Marine & Aviation Department. A voting poll was also shared with marina tenants to gather their feedback.
We are now asking the Board to vote on which of these two designs should move forward for installation at the Clearwater Marina.
