Developers of 500 Ocean commissioned Albert Paley to created, fabricate and install a
permanent 40'h x 16' w x 10'd sculpture to comply to the City of Boynton Beach Art in Public
Places program. This iconic sculpture, titled Cavalcade, sited for the plaza on the SW corner of

In addition, the Art in Public Places is planning to install 5 large scale Paley artworks along the
Avenue of the Arts for it's 2017/18 year long outdoor exhibition. This exhibition includes some
of the sculptures that were displayed on Park Avenue in New York City for the 2013 Paley
exhibit! The 5 sculptures range from 18' high weighing 6,345 lbs and retailing at $ 380,000 to
7.5' high weighing 370Ibs retailing at $98,000. A total artwork value of $1.2 million is planned
for installation in Boynton Beach.
The iconic sculpture, Cavalcade, was installed Oct. 5, 2017. The 5 additional Albert Paley
sculptures were installed Oct. 2 & 3, 2017. The artworks were be shipped on flat bed trucks
from Rochester, New York where the Paley Studio is located. Each artwork was lifted from the
truck via a crane and installed at the 5 sites along the Avenue of the Arts. On May 11, 2017
Albert Paley visited the City to inspect each site where his artwork will be placed. The City's
Arts Commission advisory board approved the exhibit.
To celebrate the grand opening of the 500 Ocean residential and mixed use project, the
developer, Cambridge Property Management company, City of Boynton Beach Art in Public
Places and Community Redevelopment Agency are collaborating for an opening reception and
introduction to the public. Plans are underway for an invitation only reception for Friday,

Paley sculpture, Cavalcade. Albert Paley will be present and speak during the opening
ceremony presentations. Avenue the Arts tours of the newly placed Paley sculpture are
included in the evenings activities with docents informing the attendees about the artworks. All
of the artwork are for sale with a 30% commission benefiting the City of Boynton Beach Art in

"The sculpture will provide a dramatic silhouette when accented against the sky.
The spire-like shapes projecting into the sky engage the quality and play of
sunlight. These spires painted yellow would contrast
dramatically with the blue of the sky. Thematically, the
splayed vertical elements have their basis in my
interpretation of palm fronds. The palm frond's thin
delicate floral elements that project into the sky and
4 are so much a part of the landscape would here be
' introduced and experienced within a different context.
Although the sculpture is not kinetic, the interlaced
folded metal shapes indicate movement as if they are
being articulated by the air from the sea. As the sun
traverses, the play of light and shade will dramatically
increase the sculptures dynamism. At various times
the sculpture may be seen in silhouette or in aspects
of shadow— changing constantly with the passage of
time."Albert Paley Albert Paley I Sculptor

Town Square Boynton Beach Public Art Master Plan
Phase 1 - Conceptual
10-11-17 DRAFT
The objective for the Public Art Master Plan Phase 1 Conceptual is to create the narrative and
identify possible locations and potential artful experiences for the Town Square Boynton Beach
project. The plan's narrative captures the input from various workshops and surveys
conducted, particularly the August 24, 2017 workshop and community engagement session for
open spaces. This facilitated engagement process used the five senses plus movement as a
way to find out how the workshop participants wanted the future Town Square experience to
feel. Public art examples and the list of Arts Commission Master Plan top three art forms;
kinetic, glass and Eco artworks, was included in the open spaces presentation prior to
engagement sessions. The workshop results are attached as exhibit A summary of the top
desired experiences and feelings that were communicated are: coastal colors, water, nature,
shade/tree canopy, pleasant smells in the air, reminders of the community's history and areas
that are reflective and calming as well as vibrant and interactive places. There was also a
strong desire to create in Town Square a place that encourages multigenerational and
multicultural happenings, both planned and unplanned. The idea that Town Square could
represent the whole community while also promoting movement /exploration of other places in
Boynton was also expressed. The workshops and surveys have demonstrated the community
members' understanding and desire for public art that will provide interaction and positive
effects as well as the opportunity to develop a world class Town Square plan that includes
public open space integrated with public art.
Public Art Master Plan Narrative:
The public art for the Town Square Cultural District will assist in visually defining the district as
well as creating interactive artworks that are project and site specific. It is envisioned that the
public art in Town Square should support the success of Town Square and be reflective of the
entire City. This will include works that promote the unique characteristics of Boynton Beach
and recognize its past and future as a coastal, multi-generational, multi-cultural and all
Inclusive community. Consideration will be given to the community's desire for multipurpose
programming use of facilities and open space thus allowing for changing and various
experiences throughout the day such as places that are calm and intimate as well as bustling
with people and invigorating. Woven into the Town Square experience is consideration of the
natural environment, some important iconic trees and how the vegetation can be engaged to
bring solutions to overall needs for Town Square. Developed through a public / private
partnership, there is a unique opportunity for the public art to create impressive experiences for
all stakeholders and the community in a holistic fashion. The physicality of the public art should
be such that it promotes the commercial, residential and public entities and encourages flow
from Boynton Beach Boulevard into Town Square and beyond. Having artwork that relates in
some way as it moves through the Town Square can allow the moving effect desired. The
public art can also assist to define purpose of space and way finding. Given the nature of this
project and the process taken, it is clear that the Public Art will become a "wow" factor for the
new Town Square Boynton Beach.
Possible Locations and Concepts for the Public Art:
In order to accomplish the desired level of iconic public art for Town Square Boynton Beach,
we start with an analysis of possible locations and concepts to meet these goals. This is a
broad exercise at a high level to engage and promote points of discussion among the design
team. Any public art examples provided in association with this document at this stage are
meant to encourage thought only. The direction so far has been to have public art in Town
Square Boynton Beach that is made for the unique needs and desires of the project. A
broadening and distillation of ideas presented in this document will take place during Phase 2
in order to get down to more detail including priority, budget, timelines and type of artist(s)
engagement; invitation and/or call to artists. The desires outline in the Public Art Master Plan
Narrative will provide points of inspiration for the artwork produced. Please see attached map
for locations listed.
1 . ICONIC Artwork that creates "WOW" 1-A, 1-B, 1-C on map
Objective: To capture the attention of visitors traveling on Boynton Beach Blvd., turning south
onto Seacrest Blvd., as well as travelers heading northbound on Seacrest Blvd. Taking the
holistic approach, the public artwork for the commercial/private buildings facing Boynton Beach
could begin the intrigue that then flows into the inner portions of Town Square. More concepts
for the private development are discussed in a separate section below.
Beginning on the NE corner of Seacrest and E. Ocean Ave., noted as the new Kapok Park,
and sweeping to the round about in the middle of E. Ocean just east of Seacrest and flowing to
the amphitheater in the open space. Goal and purpose of the artwork:
• Considered the Iconic "wow" public art in Town Square Boynton Beach.
