Announcements/Reports/Presentations A. Art Grants Presentation by Tess Lacroix, City Grants Manager Mr. Weiss advised Ms. Lacroix has been terrific to work with. She is interested in the arts and will go the extra miles to find art grants. Tessy Lacroix, the new grants manager, stated she provides grant development support to departments and they were compiling a list of grants for the arts. on the federal level, they have identified the National Endowment for the Arts for general operations and specific cultural projects, Grants for the Art Projects in our Town are available annually to support artwork events, lectures, exhibits, etc. The Florida Humanities through the National Endowment for the Humanities also support community projects containing a humanities component. Florida Division of Arts and culture, general program support specific cultural projects and public art facilities. Their app cycles is annually, usually between April and June 30th . Cultural council has a biennial grant through the tourist dev funds to support.art and cultural events and marketing. The last cycle was 2021 so the application will be available next year. Foundations identified were Bloomberg Philanthropies that largely support public art. The application is not yet available. The Andrew Melon foundation, BMT Arts alive initiative and the Ford foundation. As the public art department identifies their efforts to highlight BIPOC(Black, Indigenous and People of Color) artists, the City should anticipate to apply for receiving funding specific to building equity in the arts and giving exposure to historically marginally voices. Funders such as South Arts who provide presentation grants, artists and small artist grants and the dept of state African American cultural and historical grant program places a strong emphasis on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and provide funding opportunities to support the projects. She will continue to research and identify opportunities to benefit the arts. She will keep her eyes and ears open for opportunities. Dr. Jones has done lots of grant writing. She asked if they identify a grant they would like the City to apply for, if they should notify Mr. Weiss and copy Ms. Lacroix and learned it was. Ms. Lacroix explained her role encompasses the entire process, application, management and administration of the grant as well. Dr. Jones explained they Board is in debt to the city and they have to pay the city back $56K for the next four years. Dr Jones requested receiving a one-page listing of grant opportunities, the name of the funder and when the application is due, whether they decide to apply for the grant and the outcome so they can build a tract record. Ms. Lacroix explained she has a funding grant spreadsheet identifying the opportunities. Dr. Jones would love to have that as part of the budget so the Board can assist or add information. She also provides an annual 2 Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 5 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers Exhibit A Meeting Minutes Art Advisory Board Boynton Beach. Florida April 14, 2022 grant summary report. Ms. Lacroix explained a lot of Foundations do not heavily support local governments or recognize them as local art agencies. She and Mr. Weiss discussed having a non-profit entity through which they can apply. She has a list of them. Chair Martin asked as far as the non-profit, if her non-profit could be used to benefit the City. Ms. Lacroix explained the City has a non-profit foundation and she would have to check, but often they ask for the prior year's audit, which may be a challenge. She suggested starting small and going on from there. B. Exhibitions (Exhibit B) a. Montoya & Ortiz, Avenue of the Arts: Closes on May 30, 2022 b.

Mural Call to Artists and Call to Owners Mr. Weiss advised he sent this out and it is on the website. There are two processes. One is encouraging an artist to find a wall to paint and the other is interested property owners should contact the City and they will advise how to proceed. Private buildings will be a matching program. He hoped there would be a series of proposals as he program will only have $20K. b. Parks Photo Contest Call to Everyone Only the flyer was out, but it open to everyone. c. Honoring Solid Waste Drivers Call to Artists (TBD) d. Kinetic Call to Artists (TBD) E. AiPP and Private Development.

Florida April 14, 2022 V. Action Items Approval of Artist for Oakwood Square (Exhibit E) Motion: The artist Andrew Kovacs is approved for the Oakwood Square seating design. Motion Mr. Hartmann moved to approve as written. The developer selected was Andrew Kovac. More than 35 artists from around the nation applied. Dr. Jones seconded the motion. Chair Martin and Mx. Tilton liked Kovac Mr. Hartmann thought the artist was talented, unique and different outside of the box. The final design will be approved by the Board. The motion passed unanimously. VI. Old Business Fiscal Year 22-23 Budget with Summary of Advisory Board Roles (Exhibit F) Mr. Weiss advised Mr. Hartmann created the bar chart. Mr. Hartmann colorized the budget. He noted the debt was really hurting the program. Dr. Jones asked about the total amount for last fiscal year. Mr. Weiss thought it was $340K but he anticipates they will only spend about$200K this year. Part was salary savings and non-economical ways of doing things. Motion Dr. Jones moved to recommend the budget the budget as in Exhibit F. Mr. Hartmann seconded the motion. Mr. Weiss explained the Board is not approving the budget, it is being recommended to the Commission. On April 1, Mr. Weiss sent a budget to the City Manager. The City Manager meets with him in May and she goes through the budget and she makes her recommendation to the City Commission. It did change last year and she agreed to lend the money to keep program going. She thought the $200K should be included. Dr Jones requested an addendum that keeps the Board apprised of grants they discussed with Ms. Lacroix so it will show the Board ways to increase the budget for the kinetic and other art while reducing the debt. Mr. Weiss explained that is not all of the expenses as the artist is paid to remove his/her work in the next fiscal year. The new programs are similar to what they were this year, which is the mural program and the art design collaboration with Public Works and a special request from the City Manager's office to have vinyl traffic cabinet wraps on Boynton Beach Boulevard and Seacrest and other major intersections, and funds for an artwork purchase and then contingency funds. There are other administrative costs and new art and programs. 4 Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 7 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers Exhibit A Meeting Minutes Art Advisory Board Boynton Beach. Florida April 14, 2022 Mr. Hartmann inquired if the kinetic event could become more of an income source Mr. Weiss advised that was attempted, but it was not very successful in the past. He noted Valerie Zucker was contracted to run the program before Mr. Weiss came on Board and she noted only 5K people attended, which was not. Mr. Weiss noted he and Ms. Lacroix looked at NEA grants and if the NEA comes through, it would be focused on kinetic. Mr. Weiss would like to ask FPL for funds, and FPL is owned by another company that is the biggest wind energy producer in the United States. Boca Bearings was always a supporter. They are the largest bearings producer in the nation, which kinetic sculptures need. Dr. Jones would like to see another chart showing what sections of the pie come from the City budget, from grants and philanthropy. Mr.Weiss noted the$385K is from commercial development and now and the next few years was the biggest building boom. Dr. Jones favored diversification for the time when they cannot rely on funds. She though cities should have private sources and right now they have zero. She noted Exhibit F where it shows short term challenges and opportunities, they should mention they are in debt to the City as it is a challenge and with opportunities with the grant's writer, they have an opportunity to grow and diversify their budget. It is a challenge to pay back $21 OK on a $400K a year budget. Mr. Weiss thought the City will look at the strategic plan more closely going forward. Mr. Weiss added departmental initiatives to it which he read as initiative 1 and 2. Motion Dr. Jones thought there needed to be an amendment about the fact they owe $210K on a $400K budget. Given that, she moved the budget as presented by the City Manager be accepted by the Board. She wanted page 2 of exhibit F narrative about short term challenges and opportunities added. Mr.Weiss noted they were two different things being discussed. She thought in the future they should be named as different exhibits. She moved the budget as contained on page 45 be accepted by the Board. Mr. Hartmann seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mx. Ratcliff queried if the Board needed a motion to add a section regarding the short term challenges and opportunities that highlight the debt to the City to the Strategic Plan and learned no motion was needed. VII. New Business Discussion of Kinetic Biennial Program and Calls for Artists (Exhibit G) Mr. Weiss tried to get at kinetic in a positive way for the community and broaden its attempts. He recommended it include sculptures, designers and performers. He recalled the Olympic opening ceremony with the kinetic motion and he hoped to do a mini version. It should engage the Boynton community and the exploration is not just about the art, it is about the science of motion. It is an exciting phenomenon. This was his first attempt 5 Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 8 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers Exhibit A Meeting Minutes Art Advisory Board Boynton Beach. Florida April 14, 2022 at the program and if the Board had any changes or modifications, they would rewrite it, issue the call to artists and he would come back with a final version at the next meeting for the events and the schedule. He had two thoughts in mind. One has a kinetic performance and community participation. One would be an opening night event similar to the Olympic opening where performers carry things. They would perform twice with the next performance on Sunday. He reviewed pages 53 of 57 as items to be added to the kinetic event. The outdoor artist exhibit would receive payment, the indoor art is not paid, but it is available for sale. He saw great flag pole installations by a French artist and he wondered if they could make a series of flags and flagpoles to create a feathery feeling by an artist or by different artists. He would like to have additional spinners with two sides. He already contacted one kinetic vendor that people have in their yards or hang from a tree, who was interested as people like to shop. They will issue the standard call to artists for kinetic sculptures and for outdoor pieces. He has to develop a community kinetic idea. He was hoping to get an artist to bring their wind turbines, but the artist turned him down. Next Era Energy is the FPL parent company which uses giant air turbine. He is looking for interesting speakers. Some can attend via Zoom. Mr. Hartmann explained he was thinking of artist that create large moving people. He noted the American Legion may be of help in some manner. Ms. Moodie asked for further information about the performances. Mr. Weiss was thinking about asking Mary Ann Benjamin, a choreographer, to work with the High School Drill Team/Majorettes, and choreograph interesting movements similar to synchronized swimming. Ms. Moodie liked inviting the community and the teens from the high school. It would be a way to bring families together and further involve the community as well as attendance, but she thought Sunday morning would be a problem due to church. She queried if the performance could be done on Saturday. Mr. Hartmann also liked the program and hoped it would draw a lot of people. Ms. Moodie asked how they would involve the local schools. Glenn thought a call for community art project could be more focused. There is the community band that has a routine, and community drill teams. Mr. Weiss thought motion is essential to the aesthetic form and meaning of the artwork. Just because it moves does not make it kinetic. Ms. Moodie understood the focus of two paragraphs on page 54. It states the kinetic biennial primarily focuses on artwork, but the paragraph prior to that does not state how kinetic art is defined. She thought further clarification was note. Dr. Jones thought three issues were at hand: one is rationale for kinetic art; Boynton Beach's approach to kinetic art; and the third is 2023 energy in the wind. She thought there was a need for all three. She requested a one page or less document on each component. She thought the 2023 Energy in the Wind will be unique, but the other two would be longer lasting and could be used each year. The City has kinetic art because the City has a reputation for doing it, but they could create another major art event and have a reputation for two. Mr. Hartmann thought they Could have a sister event on even years. If the event is a money maker, it could also be a way to erase debt but also be more work for the Board. Mr. Weiss explained they made a commitment to do it this year. 6 Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 9 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers Exhibit A Meeting Minutes Art Advisory Board Boynton Beach. Florida April 14, 2022 In the past, there was not enough money to hold it each year. Maybe that could be a future agenda item for even year events and not odd year events. Veronica Inberg, Public Art Coordinator, suggested fundraising occur on even years. Mx. Ratcliff liked the idea of having people on video as it was a great opportunity to find disabled individuals who cannot travel. She liked the definition of kinetic art and thought it expands and addresses some issues of old-fashioned kinetic art. She thought it was more exciting. Mr. Weiss noted the draft program on diversity was included in the meeting materials. VIII. Public Comments Ernest Mignoli, 710 NE 7th Street, Unit 407, stated he has a view of Two Georges from his unit on the fourth floor and he has a view of all the lights and art stuff. Mr. Mignoli spoke about items unrelated to the agenda, such as corruption in New York and Boynton Beach. Mr. Mignoli thought the advisory boards in Boynton think the developers will help them. He opined the City Commission inserted the Pride intersection into politics and it is not allowed as the City is a non-political party. He thought it was out of control. He suggested the kinetic sculpture at Seacrest Boulevard and E. Ocean Avenue by artist Ralfonso had three sixes and was evil. He spoke about the Supreme Court ruling about holiday decorations, and if an entity has decorations, they have to have all three holidays represented. He commented last year, the Art Advisory Board spent all the funds on the Pride Intersection, the Mayor spent all the funds on a Menorah, and they spent all the money on Kwanza/ Mr. Mignoli suggested having the Star of Bethlehem on top of the Christmas tree instead of a fish, and he offered to donate a nativity, so the City would have all three and the Mayor and City Commission said no. Mx. Ratcliff asked for a point of order for a time check. Mr. Mignoli asked who Mx. Ratcliff was, as they/them was appearing virtually, and learned Mx. Ratcliff was a Board member, to which he then told Mx. Ratcliff to "be quiet you virtual." Chair Martin stated Mr. Mignoli had enough time to talk. Mx. Ratcliff thought there was a time limit imposed on public comment. Mr. Weiss stated in the future they will announce it. IX. Future Agenda Items A. Diversity in Public Art Program: See Report (Exhibit H) Mr. Weiss explained this was a draft of what he considers successes. There are items at the top, which are his recommendations. The list of diverse artists has been established. They work with the ADA Coordinator and have a new Equity and Inclusion Manager. It is important to always develop program and projects where artists from different cultures exist and some exhibits make it impossible for some artists to exhibit because they do not do that kind of work . Mx. Ratcliff suggested 7 Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 10 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers Exhibit A Meeting Minutes Art Advisory Board Boynton Beach. Florida April 14, 2022 the Objective be changed to say ethnically diverse. They/them also noted the most up to date style for the LGBTQ community was now "LGBTQIA+" Dr. Jones inquired if there is an ADA Coordinator and learned there was. She thought there is a real opportunity to work with the ADA Coordinator with kinetic. Ms. Moodie inquired about the language regarding email for the art teachers. She suggested looking at the schools in Palm Beach County because teachers change schools.The schools would have art departments and art teachers. Mx. Ratcliff also noted the current wording to use is "disabled" and not "persons with disability." It is individual, but the standard in the activist community and large newspapers is to use disabled. Dr. Jones requested to add a future agenda item. She remains confused about Board Member terms about emails outside of Mr. Weiss. She inquired how long terms are as alternates or regular members and how many terms they can serve. Mr. Hartmann explained at the end of March each year is when some member terms end and appointments are made. She asked about alternates and then regular members and did not think it was good to lose the Chair and Vice Chair at the same time as it is a loss of institutional knowledge. Mr. Weiss will provide an email from the City Clerk with the information. She commended Mr. Weiss and Ms. Inberg for their work. The information was helpful. X. Adjournment Motion Mr. Hartmann moved to adjourn. Dr. Jones seconded the motion. Motion approved unanimously.

Ratcliff requested a medical accommodation and was available online. Mr. Hartmann advised he would not be present. b. Introduction of new member Dr. Phyllis Pacilli Dr. Pacilli introduced herself and explained she does not have an art background. She knows Clovis Moody by teaching for many years. She is a math teacher, does research and teaches at the College of Education at FAU and enjoys art as a hobby. She wanted to be on the Board for many reasons, but she believes that art in any city brings in tourism, tourists bring money to local businesses and the economy, and she has seen places where art exhibits bring in millions of dollars. She thought art could be an integral part of tourism in the City. She was happy to be a part of that and what they establish over the year. Chair Martin welcomed Dr. Pacilli and noted Sam Velazquez arrived at 6:34 p.m. Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 12 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers Exhibit B Meeting Minutes Art Advisory Board Boynton Beach.

III. Informational Items from the Board Dr. Jones attended the Second Career Artists exhibit opening. She thought it was fascinating and the stories from the artists were great. She thought Mr. Weiss and Ms. Inberg did a great job. Mr. Velazquez also attended and agreed as did Dr. Pacilli. IV. Announcements/Reports/Presentations A. Exhibitions (Exhibit B) a.

Florida May 12, 2022 Chair Martin announced this event. B. Grants a. Working on State of Florida Grant Dr. Jones offered to help with the grant. Mr. Weiss will pass it on to Ms. LaCroix, the City's Grant's Manager. C. Upcoming Opportunities (Exhibit C) a. Mural Call to Artists and Call to Owners b. Parks Photo Contest Call to Everyone c. Honoring Solid Waste Drivers Call to Artists Chair Martin announced the above opportunities. Mr. Weiss explained Item C was initiated by Public Works last year. They felt the Solid Waste drivers should be honored in some way, so a call to artists was created. Those artists will use social practice, which is when the artist engages with a group of people and works with them in response to who they are. Whomever is selected will meet the workers, talk and drive with them and conceive some type of work of art. The concept will come before the Board. The budget is $20K. Nothing like that has been done in Boynton Beach. Mr. McQuire offered his services for free to create a documentary or short film of the process and perhaps finish out with the artist. He thought it would be fascinating for the artist to experience the drive-alongs and hear the different stories the drivers and workers have. He thought the film may be able to be featured at the amphitheater at one of the events. Mr. Velazquez explained the Solid Waste Authority and the Boys and Girls Club had an art contest where the kids would decorate trash cans. It was a national effort and they had fun. Everyone submitted a sketch, they voted for one and the children implemented it. He envisioned something similar to that on the trucks. (Ms. Alexis arrived at 6:44 p.m.) Mr. Weiss noted Boynton had a similar project painting the dumpsters. Several of the dumpsters remain although the artwork has deteriorated over time. Mr. Weiss commented artists work differently, and they may present one or several ideas. There should be updates. He thought it would be a bad thing if the workers and the artists agreed on something, but the Board did not. The deadline for artists to respond is June 3 Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 14 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers Exhibit B Meeting Minutes Art Advisory Board Boynton Beach. Florida May 12, 2022 23rd. There is a database of artists using social practice work and many artists in Florida specialize inthis type of work. d. Kinetic all to is: Inside and Outdoors Inaddition tote above project, there is a call for artists fort Biennial International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium. Mr. McQuire noted getting the work tot event is a big job. Ten iennial event will be on January 28th and 29th The last event, was impacted by COVID. It is a signature event. Members can make recommendation for kinetic artists. The main sculptures are due on July 1 gth and there will be a panel to th evaluate them. On August 15 , Mr. Weiss will present some artists. He thought they would not have all the artists and was certain more artists would be needed, but they will search fort and then they will move forward to January. He encouraged the members to read the kinetic information as he was looking for different ways to show motion. He spoke to Maryann Benjamin to choreograph an opening dance performance with physical objects. It was noted when artists came from out of state and out of the country, they brought people with them. Discussion also ensued out the name oft event. It is a biennial event. It is international, but other events do'not include the word "International" and Mr. Weiss sought to shorten the name. There was also brief discussion the event logo needed work. It was also rotated because it did not transfer well on Instagram because it is a tall thin logo is is problematic. Dr. Jones announced she participated in the International Tennis Championships at the Boynton Beach Tennis Center and 36 countries participated. The or international drew a lot of people and sethought it was worth keeping. Ms. Moodie also thought the word "International" was good for marketing, Boynton Beach is a small City and the or international has a big impact. Dr. Pacilli agreed. Mr. Weiss noted Biennial is a word that is well known by artists, art galleries and dealers. Mr. Weiss wanted there to be music. Mr. Velasquez stated he attended during Black History Month and there was a young artist who was selling bottle caps. D. AiPP and Private Development.

Florida May 12, 2022 • Publix Distribution Center on Parkridge Boulevard. Mr. Weiss explained he had presented images of the Boynton Beach Office Condo work and the Board noted the tree's obstructed the art. Mr. Weiss gave the developer drawings, which the developer agreed with and the location of the art was no longer blocked by the trees, although there is a pole, He thought it had a presence, but it will need a lot of UV protection. Mr. McQuire commented the Board heard a presentation by a woman who paints murals all over the world. She said to use a certain paint and that UV coating was not needed. He recalled UV coating could yellow. It was noted there is a special paint for murals, but they are extremely expensive. Some paints contain metal and do not fade. In those instances, UV coating is not needed. V. Action Items Election of Chair and Vice Chair Chair Martin noted nominations took place at the last meeting, but the City Commission did not ratify the Board's selections as there would be new members. Chair Martin passed the gavel to Dr. Jones who asked for nominations for Chair. Ms. Moodie moved to nominate Ms. Martin for Chair. Mr. Velazquez seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Moodie nominated Mr. Velazquez for Vice Chair. Mr. Velasquez declined the nomination. Chair Martin nominated Ms. Moodie as Vice Chair. Mr. Velazquez seconded the motion.

Florida May 12, 2022 Jeffrey Carter, from North Carolina, stated he recently moved to Boynton. He inquired what qualifies as art, if it was painting, or buskers or flashing. He has a business called Creative Space Stations for artists and businesses. As to the kinetic events, he knows a lot of gallery quality artists from North Carolina and he would like to assist with recruiting them. With the logo, he thought it would be best to display international with a picture because it would be word heavy and he thought it was important for people to not forget. As for the Solid Waste employees, he thought was some type of visual should be made and having a visual sit down with the driver would be awesome.- His company does this as well. He also has a non-profit. He wants to be involved as much as possible and is a serial entrepreneur. He asked about the marketing methods and who are they targeting. His family just moved in January and they want to market to the masses and give opportunities to people who may not know anything about this. If you have a great plan, it would draw people. Mr. Weiss asked him to come by and speak with him. He noted the CRA and Marketing Department both have events. . Tessy Carter, the nine-year old artist, announced she has a business and she sells recycled bottle caps and her brother makes slime kits. She showed her bottle cap earrings to the members. Carter commented he holds a lot of events in Fayetteville and the City is a little ahead technologically from where they were in 2014. Mr. McQuire noted how Carter recognizes art. He explained the Art in Public Places program is handled by this body and it is what the Board does. He mentioned a busker, poetry, flash dance. The Board has not been explorative in those genres and the City has a stage at the amphitheater. Most of the time performances involve a band, but they could schedule a poet or a flash dance at the venue which would be supported by the Art in Public Places program Chair Martin commented they always have Friday Movie night and they could always have a poetry night or dance night because it all falls under the category of art.

"I have been doing my artwork for about four years with some training by a local art teacher who has since moved from my area," he said. "Other than a visit from (Boynton Beach Public Arts Manager) Glenn Weiss, no one outside my community has seen my work. All my pictures are framed and displayed on my home walls. I did this for personal pleasure as Sotheby's offerings are beyond my reach. Obviously, I haven't had any marketing opportunities to sell my work. Without a `name,' two galleries have informed me they would not even take the time to look at my work. "For those who are nearing retirement mode, such as I experienced, doing artwork is an excellent way to stay mentally young, be creative and get enormous personal satisfaction from viewing my creations. But, most artists starve. Being in retirement afforded me the time to seize an opportunity to be creative without having to earn a living for my artwork. It should be understood that doing artwork should be for self-accomplishment and a link between my personal lifetime and those generations that come after my own. My history then survives me." The other artists featured are Michael D'Amato (court reporter) - photographic collage, Susan Gray (scientist) - fused glass, Jay Hatfield (Marine Corps) - playful porcelains, Maxine Schreiber (psychotherapist) - paintings of political protests and Sandra Swill (director of design) - cardboard figures . "We have entered a time in American history when lifetimes will be full of different careers," Weiss said. "These Second Career Artists chose the visual arts in adult life. They either felt the longing from an abandoned dream or a surprising love that emerged from an accidental exploration. Boynton Arts honors the artists' creativity and hopes to encourage many more to intensely follow their artistic instincts." Admission is free to "Second Career Artists"at the Boynton Beach Arts & Cultural Center, 125 E. Ocean Ave., in Boynton Beach.

As a result, I believe that the Art Advisory Board should develop and endorse a plan for priority art locations and functions for the future developers, CRA and City. Earlier last years, I created a powerpoint document showing the relationship between economic development and public art in downtown. The document has been updated to include development through 2017. The pink areas are existing and very likely developments. The blue areas are possible development by 2017. The proposal has four priorities Iconic Sculptures on the Corners of Ocean and Federal. • Art and Civic Function: Add to the Albert Paley sculpture and create south Florida's only intersection of sculpture that welcomes people to the Avenue the Arts, the Marina and the bridge to the beach. • Implementation: Developers should create pedestrian spaces for the automobile scaled sculptures on each corner. Avenue of the Arts on Ocean between Federal and Seacrest. • Art and Civic Function: :Add sculptures, installations, banners and temporary bases as a pleasant active walk linking Federal with Town Square. • Implementation: Developers should widen pedestrian zones and sidewalks to include small to mid-sized sculptures, decorative designs in plaza and seating walls and bases for temporary works. Boytnon Beach Blvd southside Pedestrian Walk between the Post Office and Petes Pond • Art and Civic Function: As the City and FDOT plan to widen the sidewalk on Boynton Beach Blvd in 2024 and development is planned for the southside, add pedestrian scales artworks with a couple automotive scaled work for the zone. • Implementation: Work with FDOT to identify locations and types of artwork and work with developers to purchase the appropriate work. Town Square Completion • Art and Civic Function: As the City garage and apartment developments convert SE 1 st Ave to a functioning street, add artworks contributing to the civic identity of Boynton Beach and the enhancement of placement making. • Implementation: Work with the future new developer of the south block to provide a second Seacrest iconic sculpture for the City Hall Chamber, two additional sculpture bases, and additions to garage facade as an important contribution to arts image of south Florida. As an active street, the southside of the amphitheater will become a location for new murals painted every two years.

The same text and images should be available online as a virtual experience. • Funding: With an approved plan and vision, individuals and corporations could assist with the funding. • Artists: Whenever possible, provide temporary or permanent artist studio spaces accessible to the general public on a regular basis.

From Sara Sims Park to Federal Highway, the primary historic commercial and community street of African American residents will change with new affordable mid-rise housing and new storefronts to be completed by late 2023. Public Works Department, hopefully with Federal funding, will rebuild the sidewalks, curbs and lighting and add a connection to NE Ninth Ave. The west end has the matured Sara Sims Park with three works of public art, an orchard, a marker honoring African Americans and the public art at the corners of Seacrest. At the east end, a new small office will be built with a mural and the northwest corner with Federal Hwy will be an entrance designed by an artist. The street contains important churches in the history and present of Boynton Beach. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd became the commercial street of the African American community when the City Commission of 1924 passed ordinance 37 that segregated black and white residential areas. MLK or 10th Avenue was the southern border on the 12 block Black district between Seacrest, the Canal and the FEC railroad tracks. The 100th anniversary of this event is February 20, 2024. Historian Victor Norfus proposed that the City have a unity event in 2024 on the 100th anniversary of residential segregation. By working with Mr. Norfus, other historians, community members and artists, BoyntonArts would develop a plan for the unity event in spring 2023. The planning activities would also provide community dialogue for permanent public art during the reconstruction of MLK sidewalks and lights. If the Art Advisory Board and the City Commission support this project, then BoyntonArts can apply to the Our Town Grant at the NEA and the CrossSector grant with South Arts. The application would have more strength with a lead artist of national reputation. (South Arts requires that the artist is from a SE USA state. ) Prepared by Glenn Weiss, Boynton Beach Public Art Manager Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda,June 9,2022 35 Masks and Social Distancing Encouraged in Commission Chambers 1 @oyn an�Cas�al � fu l�_ U � �# � j u BoyntonbBea h , 11 a r i � tv� � a+} ,- Poinmana a « � t� #�4'� �ERt�`�7tia fy SGh4f) ° a ani� 'n .«a .vp Y{.d awrwwd� m' �' i a -ir ,v a uri Martin Luther Kin Jr'81vd ��- a i � 1'r� tj3 �pp" ` lulu t u 41, $tlnek Be I at �t n1 t V wf j 'rc S g,,,;r !!''3- iu➢�"a ly B u r UuK� "� sr P' '( "3s' psp tibF��' 1 (" 2 0 •ter r�t ; w�vk� All k�� w i ��1t t € fi 4 { a� ; aa a Ch Fa' .m �; ea 4"L m� a �yj iTV- *71 t 4 R � Asa fi �� ,a �g� The FishuDepot ti s Pl� t� I`ynvt4Q OBO E�r�ape&Axe Palm Beach Ocean as i t MainmSANash Y 1he��nnet Schoolhouse ynton Beach ` s Cilri�erns`Mseurr t u � � ,Swo lieges ' qatertibnt3Gnllele� Hurncane411ey {} a • i �Y mEaceanlAve t EOE a pve t r xpa �� CKs oCk5 p& 1 5 i ';➢� +uy�'tt�a, � ,��, ¢,, ,�S�rsrrr m� -�?40 �4�Center �t',x �� Y�c�' � ,�.. * �� Exhibit G 2 OHDII�AIM NO. 37 .
