II. Committee Procedures
A Brief Discussion on Committee Operations. Exhibit A
Mr. Weiss reviewed last year's minutes and agendas and noted a few things which he
spoke with the legal department about. He reviewed the Draft Arts Board Procedures
as contained in the meeting materials, which explained motions have to be framed in
the positive. The members should not make a motion that says they do not approve the
artwork. The motion should be to approve the artwork and then, if the members do not
want the artwork approved, they would vote no and the motion fails. Another alternative
is to not make a motion to approve it at all. Vice Chair Levine queried if pros and cons
are discussed after a motion is made and seconded. Mr. Weiss the members could
discuss the motion's pros and cons, but it is not mandatory to do so. Members can
make friendly amendments and minor adjustments and can call the question to end the
debate resulting in a vote on the motion.
Mr. Weiss explained all members must vote yes or no. There are no abstentions unless
there is a conflict of interest. He did point out selection of an alternate to vote in the
place of an absent regular member should take place at the beginning of the meeting.
Mr. Weiss pointed out when looking through the motions made at the last meeting, the
motions were all over the place. He includes recommended motions for various things,
and the members can move what they wish, but his recommended motion ensures
everything is included in the motion and it is clearly stated. Sometimes it is very difficult
to determine which elements or portions of a proposal the motion may apply to and he
suggested the members look at some of the samples he provided.
Mr. Weiss explained Mr. Klauber suggested instead of approving a motion, project
proposal or artwork in which there is a lot of discussion and changes, it should not be a
situation the members approve changes in their own mind without seeing what it was.
Mr. Klauber expounded except for minor changes, plans that need to be altered should
be resubmitted to the Board at the next meeting, so the changes will be clear to the
members. Mr. Weiss advised they will use the two-step process, unless all is fine and
there were no alterations.
Mr. Klauber also commented each time he passes Taco Bell, he gets upset. He
suggested when a proposal for public art comes before the Art Advisory Board (AAB), a
bifurcated process would allow the AAB to look at the proposal, its size, location when
they see the details of their proposal. If there is a consensus about changes in location,
size, lighting or any other aspect of the art that should be changed, it should be part of
the motion. The other portion of the motion is for the changes to be included in the final
submission by the applicant. The members could leave it open ended or set a deadline.
It could be used each time and have consideration of the criteria they could informally
list so the applicants know about it and the AAB can expect it.

Chair McQuire noted later on the agenda is a recommendation to have a workshop He
thought they could discuss it then. Mr. Klauber spoke about rules of practice and
procedure, which would standardize an application to be brought to the AAB. The
current application was not to his standards and he has not rewritten it. Mr. Klauber
hoped the City Attorney or City Administrator could be included as it would be helpful.
Mr. Weiss explained artists need to have simple rules and drawings they submit and it
could be evaluated against the criteria. The same thing with the artwork proposals.
Right now, the process is loose and a developer could submit pretty much anything they
want.
III. Approval of Minutes
March 11, 2021
Motion: The March 11, 2021 meeting minutes are approved as written or
amended. (Ex. D).
There was one change on page one which was to correct a typo on Ms. Moodie's last
name from Moody, to Moodie.
Motion
Mr. Klauber moved to approve the minutes as amended. Vice Chair Levine seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
IV. Informational Items from the Board
Vice Chair Levine announced she has been out and about a bit more. She read Mr.
Weiss's emails and has tried to visit some of the events. She attended the Arts
Warehouse event about nature and was trying to get names of artists for future exhibits
at the Cultural Center. She attended the Cultural Center and there is a new gallery that
opened in Northwood Village. There was an Arts call for the Art Warehouse. Artist
Nicole Galluccio and a few other artists are currently in Renaissance Commons for Zero
Empty Spaces and she attended art openings. She visited Frank Hyder's studio and
bought another Janis piece.
Mr. Weiss thanked Mx. Ratcliff for forwarding an article to the Art Advisory Board (AAB)
about incredible murals from a truly wonderful place and an article about the history of
murals. It was amazing, encouraging and it would be great if they could adapt it to the
City of Boynton Beach. Mx. Ratcliff thought it was a beautifully written article. It
discussed the details in the murals and how political murals are and how important it is
to have a body politic in the mural. It made them more excited about what they can do
in Boynton and what the City's mural program will look like.

Ms. Moodie continues to celebrate the City's kinetic art. She has served as a docent for
two tour groups and the attendees were impressed with her knowledge. She thanked
Mr. Weiss for the website the City put together and for the map and advised she is
taking a caregiving group on a tour the 28th. So far, she took close to 20 people on
tours of the outdoor art. Mr. Weiss thanked Ms. Moodie and suggested if the members
are not confident to lead a tour, they can call Mr. Weiss and he will give a tour. Ms.
Moodie asked about lighting and the Reflections piece, which now has no up-lighting.
She thought when it was put in place, there was a conversation about special lighting at
different times. When the Town Square was discussed and they were putting artwork
together, Ms. Coles-Dobay had two sessions at the Senior Center where they created
artwork as well as kids at a camp. It was supposed to be displayed and she wanted to
know what happened to that. Mr. Weiss responded the up-lighting for the Reflections
piece was problematic. The electrical contractor advised there was a mistake. The
lighting failed and was sent back to Australia, but the company refused to replace the
lights until they figured out what was wrong and determined whose mistake it was. He
learned they are supposed to get new lights when they arrive so they can be
programmed. It was a contractor error. The Town Square is 90% complete, but not the
sidewalk at Kapok Park. Mr. Weiss put it in his work program and budget for the
remainder of this year to try and address it.
Mr. Klauber commented lighting manufactures from other countries causes an
incredible amount of problems. He referenced the Korean Memorial at the Mall; it has a
brigade of soldiers with up-lighting on each soldier. The fixtures were made in Europe
and they leaked. The National Parks Service had to contact the foreign manufacturer to
have them made over and be relit. He did not know where the fixtures under discussion
were made, but they have to be careful, especially with up-lighting, to include this type
of information in the contract so the City will know exactly how to get in touch with the
manufacturer. The further away, the more difficult it is.
Mr. Silverio reminded all about the Sister Cities art event next week. There are close to
39 artworks submitted, but they need three volunteers to serve as judges. He gave the
members instructions. The categories are art, literature, photography and music. Mx.
Ratcliff, Ms. Lorenz and Mr. Klauber volunteered to serve. Mr. Silverio will send an
email to the judges with the details.
Mx. Ratcliff attended the Zero Empty Spaces event last week. It was great to see artists
and empty spaces used for studio space. Mx. Ratcliff was aware of another upcoming
event and would forward the information in an email.

Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach. Florida April 8, 2021
Chair McQuire noted there was discussion about the mural and the Board is now happy
with the artwork. Taco Bell changed the drive-through mid-construction and then COVID
came through. Taco Bell resent plans, which were approved. He advised Taco Bell did
comply with the site plans as approved on January 15th. There was an approved
illustration on August 13th and they did make required site changes, but the AAB did not
know the Palm Trees blocked the mural. By Code, they need to have visible artwork,
so Taco Bell removed the Palm Trees that obstructed the mural. A visual of the mural,
railing and lighting fixtures was viewed. Mr. Weiss reviewed what caused the problem
was the drawing. There was a box above the mural and one below There was
misinterpretation about which box was talked about and they did not get exact
information. Now it has better visibility. Planning and Zoning worked with Taco Bell and
will be cognizant in the future, as far as their requirements regarding tree plantings.
The problem started with the drawing in the Call to Artists. The specifications said four
feet tall, and eleven feet wide and artwork here, but the blue square that says "artwork
here" was not the same dimensions and was not eleven feet by four feet high. They
have to make sure that does not happen in the future.
Chair McQuire thought at the workshop they can received proportionate, mechanical
drawings to see if it has the correct balance, drawn to scale. There are other things to
always review, landscaping, railings and lighting, which the Board did not look at during
the process. The lighting is really bad, and if working with the developer early on, they
could avoid problems. All these elements should be submitted when considering art.
Mr. Klauber thought what Mr. Weiss listed in lessons learned, could be used at the
workshop as a basic criterion for discussion. He wanted to incorporate them and
hopefully it will inform applicants what to submit and the AAB will know what to approve.
Ms. Moodie agreed and noted lessons learned were specific to the Taco Bell project.
She suggested a rubric of what to look for when reviewing proposal that is more general
in scope, but with critical points, may be helpful. Mr. Klauber agreed as a lot of what the
AAB is asked to approve is on buildings and some are free standing. The AAB can
adapt the lessons learned to the kind of applications they are being asked to review.
Chair McQuire commented they can discuss them at the workshop. He thought they
could delete these files in the PDF, and keep the file and send it back to the members
for the next meeting, so they can reference the notes. Mr. Weiss will apprise the Board
of any lighting improvements.
B. Boynton Beach Cultural &Arts Center Exhibitions
a. Nicole Galluccio Exhibit, Through April 24
b. Art and Autism Exhibit, April 2021
Chair McQuire reviewed the above exhibits. Ms. Blanks explained they have seven
artists for the artists with autism that have works on the gallery wall, including,jewelry,
acrylic painting and photography on the gallery walls. There is a virtual exhibit on the
5

Boynton Beach. Florida April 8, 2021
website one can see videos of each artist's artwork. They were still working with Debby
Majors, ADA Coordinator, for something on opening night.
c. Upcycle Fashion & Art: Sonya Sanchez Arias and Aidana Baldassarre:
May 4 through June, 2021
Ms. Blanks explained the art will be installed the 3rd and 4t" of May. They will have
mannequins with upcycled clothing and mood and sketch board hung on the walls. The
opening will be 5:00 to 6:30 P.M. on May 7t". Chair McQuire sent an artist who was
building a kinetic piece of upcycled art to Ms. Blanks and asked if the artist could be
added to the show. Ms. Blanks explained the artist could not at this time.
C. Call for Exhibitions (Exhibit D)
Mr. Weiss explained they are issuing a call for exhibition, and people, groups and
organizations can apply. He encouraged the members to distribute the call which has
an online application. A group exhibition could be for any type of art. The art would be
displayed on the first and second floor hallway at the Cultural Center although the wall
lighting is not good on the second floor. Mr. Weiss included second floor lighting in the
budget for next year. The exhibits give artists a lot exposure. If a piece sells, it is
already in the contract the artist should make a 30% donation to the City. Chair
McQuire thought a discussion on the 30% should be on a future agenda. It is a bit
steep and he questioned whether the City wants to make money on artists in art shows
in the future. Discussion followed most art shows charge 30% for sold artwork.
Wynwood charges are higher and artists pay rent for the wall space. Ms. Blanks
explained she spoke with Sonya Sanchez Arias who informed her she usually has to
pay to display her art and noted the City gives a stipend to the artists to display.
Ms. Moodie thought the idea is the City is encouraging artists to display their artwork.
She thought they should have a committee to embrace the art. The AAB gets caught up
in selling the art because, based on her observation, of how they market the art and
who they attract. As an educator, activist and community member, they look at art as
building the community and enriching the life of community members. Mr. Weiss
commented if the AAB does not want to charge 30%, it could be removed from the
contract. Mx. Ratcliff thought just because other galleries and locations have
commissions does not mean the City has to have them and they agreed with Ms.
Moodie's comments.
Motion
Mx. Ratcliff moved to remove the 30% artists donate when they are showing at the
City's Cultural Arts Center.

Boynton Beach. Florida April 8, 2021
Mr. Weiss recommended the motion be for all art exhibitions at the Cultural Art Center
no fees will be charged to the artist. Mr. Klauber seconded the motion.
Chair McQuire commented they can refine the motion as their art events outside of the
Cultural Center. He asked if the members wanted the motion to apply to outside
exhibits or inside the art center.
Ms. Moodie commented the City is paying artists to display and if they sell something,
the City gets nothing. She thought it was a win for the artist and not for the City. If the
artists make money, the City should get something, but not necessarily a large amount.
Vice Chair Levine explained most artists are familiar with paying a commission. Some
artists sometimes will take the transaction outside the City it is a moot point as the artist
will still make the sale. Whether they kick back a percentage is up to the honesty of the
artist. She thought the City should charge zero or a standard commission such as 25%.
They could charge the normal fee. Ms. Lorenz thought it cheapens things if they are
not charged anything. Most artists know they have to charge a fee and most artists add
in the Commission amount into the price of the artwork.
Mx. Ratcliff asked where the proceeds of a sale goes and learned it goes into the Art in
Public Places Donation line item. They asked how the money is allotted and learned it
goes through the City Commission budget process. Mx. Ratcliff wondered if there was
a happy medium, perhaps lowering the commission rate, but the monies goes to a sub
fund such as for art from disabled or artists of color and the AAB control the funds. Mr.
Klauber advised the City Commission would have to designate that responsibility to the
AAB. It is a budget hearing determination.
Mr. Weiss explained if the AAB has $50K to bring in, rent, or buy art work for kinetic art,
the City Commission does not say which artists. If would be the same thing for an
exhibition budget.
Mr. Klauber hoped someday, if there were high school students with art appropriate for
an exhibit in the Cultural Center, it would be displayed. Mr. Weiss explained there are
no age restrictions. Mr. Klauber pointed out the process can be partitioned, eliminating
the hanging fee, and keeping the commission. Mr. Weiss noted in the mid 80's and
90's, a national motion started that visual artists should not be penalized compared to
other artists. Performing artists are paid a fee whether anyone shows up or not. Visual
artists are being told they were displaying their art and they should be able to do so for
sales. As a result, only certain artists were going to participate because of people who
do sell their work. The idea emerged and was implemented. The AAB sets aside $500
per exhibition that is divided up between the artists and they are paid to show their
work. It was to reduce economic barriers and also reduces the AAB's concern about
what type of art to show. Mr. Klauber encouraged showing art by the local high school
students.

Boynton Beach. Florida April 8, 2021
Mx. Ratcliff withdrew their motion. Mr. Klauber withdrew his second. The item would be
put on a future agenda.
Mr. Silverio asked, regarding the 30% commission, whether the larger pieces, if sold
during the year exhibit, are shipped after the exhibit year ended and learned they did
and the City would receive a commission on the piece. Discussion followed often a
piece will be ordered in a different color, but if the piece is wanted, the artist can sell the
exhibited piece and bring in another.
Chair McQuire added this item to the next agenda.
D. SouthArts Cross Sector Impact Grant: Submitted with Zeta Phi Beta Sorority
Mr. Weiss explained the City submitted for the above grant, in collaboration with the
City's social and racial justice work they are implementing this year to have artists
create work in response to that and the upcoming history trail. Board Member Clovis
Moodie is a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, who agreed to partner with the City as
the grant requires an art and non-art organization to apply together. Mr. Weiss
expressed his belief they were unsuccessful in obtaining the grant as they should have
received a letter by Monday. In general, Mr. Weiss thought they should discuss some
of the ideas in the workshop and he hoped the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority would still
participate with the AAB if they receive the grant in the future.
VI. Discussion
A. Mural Program Models (Exhibit E)
Mr. Weiss viewed the various mural programs as contained in the meeting materials. He
explained the AAB has approval power over the murals and pointed out the programs in
Philadelphia or Hollywood and Wynwood have economic models. The non-economic
models used in EI Paso or San Francisco gives the artists the freedom to create political
statements within that community. It generally requires permission of the City in some
way. In the U.S. if you do not use privately owned walls, they will not have a significant
program and in Boynton Beach, there are not enough municipal buildings. Mr. Weiss
explained there are ways to rent walls that allows City money to be spent on them if
desired. One program was a basic program run by the AIPP paid for by the City and
administered via the Board. They would have to dedicate a substantial part of their
budget to make that happen to have an impact in the community, or ask private
developers to have murals as they go forward, but there are not a lot of redevelopment
projects. Many developers are just paying money and not including art in the project.
The AAB could say, do not pay the fee and instead include a mural in the project. Mr.
Weiss explained it is a slow accumulation that is random and the AAB cannot control
what is happening where. Another program uses the CRA Facade Improvement
Program and a "Blank a Wall Ordinance" which is when development in a pedestrian
8
May 13,2021 Agenda Package Page 11
Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach. Florida April 8, 2021
area has a lot of blank walls, they could paint a mural; however, the City does not have
that many pedestrian spaces and it would require the City Commission to do something.
Mr. Weiss thought the programs with successes involve a non-profit community mural
organization. Those are the ones, when visiting a city that has a lot of murals, that are
successful because they have volunteers that raise funds. Those organizations usually
use the Festival Model which is when a bunch of artists come in and the murals are
paid for all at once. It reduces costs and the artists tend to paint for less money. He
thought if the City wants to have a really successful program, they need a person with a
vision who wants to make it happen. The AAB can encourage murals without any
program. It would be similar to kinetic before COVID, when all the artists come and met
and connected with one another. Generally, there are owners that participate because
they think it will raise their rents and property values. Another model is to work with
Public Works to handle cross walks, intersections and painting things on the ground or
the traffic cabinets which are typically paid for by the Public Works Agency rather than
the Public Art Agency.
There is digital public art where someone pays to put large digital board installed like in
Times Square and they can change the art. He noted every major city will have some
of these boards. Due to deals with billboard companies to not put up as many billboards
in Florida, it is an issue.
The goal of the mural program is for murals to tell the history of the City, have
institutional and historical murals, and then murals in specific areas. They could build a
mural program about the history of an area. The AAB could create murals by famous
artists as a tourist attraction which is not easy to do. The programs are designed to
strengthen the community. Sometimes murals are to paint over graffiti. He noted the
mural by Sara Sims was an anti-graffiti mural. Another program is to change mural
walls every six months, which is primarily used by young artists. The City of Austin is
building their own changing mural park by their airport and making it into a museum.
Concerns are maintenance and removal and Mr. Weiss gave sample programs to think
about. The AAB has to think about how to fund the program, manage it and think about
what purpose it is for, and the goal. Ms. Lorenz was aware of a mural on Woolbright on
a pharmacy which was not listed. Mr. Weiss agreed to review it. Ms. Moodie inquired if
a mural could be painted without approval by the AAB. Mr. Weiss explained the
ordinance requires AAB approval, otherwise it can be considered a sign.
B. Preliminary Public Art Work Program FY 21 and FY 22 (Exhibit F)
Mr. Weiss explained there are a lot of administrative items he and Ms. Blanks are
addressing. They will update how they interface with finance, and confirm the art they
own and do not own. They want to have clear directions for developers under
Developer Fees and Artwork Process so the instructions will be clear and they can fix
administrative issues. As for the kinetic, they finished their work on it and the members
9
May 13,2021 Agenda Package Page 12
Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach. Florida April 8, 2021
can send artists to him to be included in the next kinetic event. Next year, they will
begin the process of inviting people to the kinetic event. This year they will have a
Cultural Center exhibition and they will have an exhibition every two months. The
remainder of this year will feature the Upcycled Dresses and two more exhibits, and
then six exhibitions next year. They will have art on Ocean Avenue. This year the
Board has to develop a plan, invite artists to apply and select the artists and the artwork
that will be installed when they remove the kinetic art early next year. Mr. Weiss
explained they will get rid of the storage facility. City-owned art includes the Opus Sea
Turtle; the Tim Collins work that used to be at the Schoolhouse Museum; the Bloomer
Tree, which has some issues; the Moonfish, which was recommended for deaccession;
the butterflies in glass orbs that have to be installed in a tree; a fiberglass mural; Paul
Slater's wind chimes; and some other work that is missing they are slowly starting to
find. Next year, they will only have a little bit of air-conditioned storage. Part of the
storage had to do with hurricanes, so they are meeting with Public Works to decide how
to deal with hurricanes this summer. There were sandblasted images of the Kapok
Tree sidewalk, problems with the Synersthesia operation, and questions about the Sea
Horse Fountain in Kapok Park, which needs to be discussed. There are maintenance
issues and they will review everything this year and then price it out as there are issues
with the lights at Dewey Park for next year.
Ms. Moodie asked about the green Butterfly Garden in the back of Walmart on 6t" Street
by the railroad tracks and if they looked at that. Mr. Weiss explained the Advisory
Board will develop a mural policy, guidelines update, a one-year plan, and a five-year
strategic plan, which would include diversity and anything else the members want
included. He spoke to Baptist Health and they will have a new project, which the Board
will review in the future. He and Ms. Blanks will work on improving social media and
basic and other promotions. There are a few program ideas regarding general
outreach, the Lifeguard stand design proposals, a possible Tom Brewitz artwork on
Ocean Avenue, and informational items. Mr. Weiss thought the mural at Sara Sims
should have something on it that says who it is, what it is about and who created it.
Vice Chair Levine thanked Mr. Weiss and asked if there was a way to put on a schedule
of what they already have that are in the kinetic event on Ocean and purchasing one or
two items. Mr. Weiss was noted Riverwalk was paying its fees this week, which will
balance the budget in general. It is about how much the City Manager will authorize the
AAB to spend. Vice Chair Levine hoped if buying something, it be on an agenda item.
Mr. Weiss explained they did lose a sculpture. This was to have a piece for the pad if
they want it to be in the show. The intent was to see if the Board wanted something for
Dewey Park. Vice Chair Levine spoke about the Boynton Beach App, and was unsure
if they uploaded anything, but there is a place for art in it. Ms. Blanks was creating a
spreadsheet of all the artwork. Ms. Moodie commented when she was showing the
artwork, there was no uniformity using Otocast or Instagram to get more information
about the piece. It would be nice to have something more consistent in terms of
description. Ms. Blanks agreed. They want a barcode that attendees can scan and
10
May 13,2021 Agenda Package Page 13
Meeting Minutes
Art Advisory Board
Boynton Beach. Florida April 8, 2021
obtain all the information about each piece of art. Mr. Weiss advised Otocast was still
working, but they did not pay the $2K to $3K fee to keep using it. Ms. Moodie asked if
there was a way to get their information out of there. Mr. Weiss advised they want to
switch to a free service like Otocast.
Ms. Moodie noted when they were approaching Federal Highway, they were
anticipating seeing a piece of art, but the artwork was removed.

A. Scheduling a workshop session of Arts Advisory Board for a dialogue on the
strategic 5-year plan and diversity initiatives.
Chair McQuire suggested meeting on a Saturday or before their next AAB meeting on a
Zoom call. He asked for input from the Board. Some members wanted a socially
distanced meeting and some wanted a hybrid. After discussion, there was agreement
the meeting would be a Zoom meeting. Mr. Weiss will send out a survey polling the
members to set up a meeting time. It was thought 10 a.m. was a good start time. Mr.
Weiss advised Otocast was still working but they did not pay the $2K to $3K fee to keep
using it. Ms. Moodie asked if there was a way to get their information out of there. Mr.
Weiss advised they want to switch to a free service like Otocast.
IX. Public Comments (None)
X. Future Agenda Items
A. Diversity in Public Art Program
B. Future Art Events: Sailfish, Riverwalk, Tour of Town Center Artworks.
C. Creation of: Boynton Beach Art Walk
D. Boynton Beach City's App
E. Updating and Marketing of the Map of all of our city's art
F. Zoom events: Talks, tours, etc.
Mr. Weiss noted he did not update the list based on the Board's last meeting. Vice
Chair Levine asked if anyone got in touch with Kyle Poyner about the kinetic purchase
and the commission that goes back to the City. Mr. Weiss explained they need to follow
up with him and for the other sales. Vice Chair Levine queried if Amos Robinson should
continue to reach out to Mr. Weiss about a kinetic piece. Mr. Weiss responded he
contacted him today. It was noted Ron Agan sold five pieces, there were two potential
commissions and a sculptural piece was sold. One of the artists explained he would
make an exact replica of one of the pieces.

Questions for Future Dialogue #1 Arts Advisory Board, May 13, 2021
Service to the City
Basic Premise: Cities hope to provide facilities and programs that are needed and desired by groups of
citizens. A city builds basketball courts and marinas for basketball players and fishermen, not
everyone. The arts activities satisfy the citizens enjoying the arts, not everyone.
Who are the Boynton citizens enjoying the arts?
What art should the City provide to Boynton citizen's enjoying the arts?
Basic Premise: City programs can be used to promote the overall reputation of the City and to attract
visitors to its particular places. The City strategic plan is using arts and cultural as an attractor to the
downtown area.
Who are the people attracted by Boynton's current or future reputation in the
arts?
To achieve the goal of an attractor, what art should the City provide?
Reminder on Inclusion & Equity: Boynton's diversity by age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion, abilities,
etc.
Evaluation of the Past for the Future
What projects from the past ten years did you like and why?
What projects from the past ten years you did not like and why?
What projects have you seen or imagined that should happen in Boynton and
why?
