Boynton Beach Art Advisory Board Agenda, November 18, 2021 Page 3 November 18, 2021 Art Advisory Board Agenda Package Page 3 CITY OF BOYNTON B E A C H Project Charter Project Grants to Artists and Fabricators in Boynton Created By Glenn Weiss Date August 31, 2021 Phone 5617426026 Email Weissg@bfl.us Mission Boynton Beach artists and fabricators will rebuild their business stability and reputations by creating, designing and promoting a new work of public art as attractions in the commercial area of Boynton's low income, diverse census tracts. Objectives As per the objectives of National Endowment for the Arts ARP grants, the objectives are to repair the economic loss among artists &fabricators and increase the inclusive arts programming of the City regarding artists & audiences. An efficient execution of the grants will get money quickly to artists and fabricators. The placement and promotion of artworks near small businesses in diverse areas will provide an arts destination that increases sales and customer awareness for the artist& retailers. The diversity of artists, fabricators and commercial areas enhances the inclusivity of art programming and City grant making in general. Deliverables The artist and fabricator will be awarded a grant to design and produce a work of public art that will be displayed in Boynton Beach for 12 months. Both the artist and fabricator will use the images and stories about the artwork to promote their business to Florida municipal public art programs, south Florida architects, art collectors and commercial property developers. Promotion by the City will increase customers to small businesses hosting the artwork. Budget $130,000 Total Cost • $100,000- Five $20,000 Grant Awards • $15,000— Project Manager • $5,000— Promotion & Marketing including Graphic Design • $10,000— Reserve for permits, engineering, temporary foundations, contingency. (If ARP cannot be spent, then coordination with Public Art Fund dollars) Stakeholders The team is led by Public Art Division who will invite other city staff from marketing, public works, etc as needed. The project sponsor is the City Manager. Once the City Commission adopts the project, other potential stakeholders will be invited such Arts & Cultural Center, CRA, CDBG, Planning, Chamber of Commerce and of course the small businesses &their customers in the diverse commercial areas. Examples of Small Business Locations Ti Manmi Kitchen, Tropical Island, DJ Grill, ACE Hardware, Main Street Car Wash, The Shack, Robinson BBQ, Beauty Boutique, Soulfood Kitchen, 301 Barbershop, Z Food Market ARP Charter Proposal for Artist/Fabricator Grants,Public Art Division,8/31/21 1 1 1' a e November 18, 2021 Art Advisory Board Agenda Package Page 4 CITY OF BOYNTON B E A C H Roles and Responsibilities Public Art Division: General Program Manager • Prepare Grant Application • Solicit Applications from Artist or Fabricators • Coordinate Selection Process with assistance from Public Works and Art Advisory Board • Gain support from small businesses for placement • Contract with Artist or Fabricator • Supervise Contracts • Provide materials for distribution by Marketing • Record the program for promotion and compliance Public Works Department • Assist with solicitation to fabricators • Assist with review of applications • Advise on outdoor installations Events and Marketing • Promote Milestones—Announce applications, selected artist/fabricators, collaboration stories, installation of artworks Art Advisory Board • Assist with review of applications • Approve artwork proposals Artist/Fabricator • Make a design proposal within budget • Fabricate the artwork • Install and maintain artwork for 12 months • Promote the artwork Small Businesses • Discuss the art project with the artist and public art staff • Promote artwork to customers ARP Charter Proposal for Artist/Fabricator Grants,Public Art Division,8/31/21 2 1 a e November 18, 2021 Art Advisory Board Agenda Package Page 5 CITY OF 60YNTON NB E A C H High-Level Work Public Art staff will manage and coordinate all solicitations, awards and overall Breakdown management. As per standard public art project management, the artist- Structure fabricator teams become project sub-units.

Communications The Public Art Division maintains the channels of communication for team, artist/fabricator and small businesses. The team with public art, marketing and public works will meet twice to develop the details of the budget and schedule in the beginning. In the middle, communication will be most important with management of the artist/fabricators by voice and email. As installation approaches, the marketing and public works will discuss final processes and promotion.

To confront the risk, her are examples of Boynton fabricators • Creative Fencing: Metal cutout up to 8 feet in height for fences, benches, window grates, signs, etc. • Ocean Architectural Sheet Metal Roofing Supply: 3-D sculptural shapes • Boca Bearings: Spinning supports • Mario Ferazzoli & Son: Tile and stone mosaics • Camilucci Signs: Printed explanatory signs and artworks • Katanic Technical: Metal Fabrication • AlumaProWorx: Aluminum Welding.

The legal documentation is limited to the contracting that includes award process, fabrication and installation. The contracts require a final reporting by the artists/fabricators. Boundaries Although the project coordinates with small businesses,the project does not include any direct assistance to small business in the commercial areas. As the funds are grants to assist the artists and fabricators, the City will not own the artworks and the artist/fabricators can sell them. Decision Making The decision-making process will be managed by the Public Art Division. Process Awards and approvals require the participation of the Art Advisory Board and public works. Signatures Prior to beginning, the City Manager, public works and marketing need to agree to specific charter.

Native plants are an essential part of their natural ecosystem.They have provided civilizations with shelter, medicinal properties, and nutrients for the fertile ground.As invasive plants gradually integrated themselves into the ecosystem,they are becoming the dominant species in our parks and backyards. When creating each piece, I began with the following questions; how can we reclaim the past and make it part of our current history? Is it possible to return to a state before invasive species? By asking these questions and finding answers through nature,we see a very unforgiving look at the world today.The native plants are continuously at war with the invasive species,trying to keep their land,struggling to grow deep roots,survive the soil's changing composition,fighting against the strangling vines that choke out life.At the same time,they dwindle to nothing due to lack of sunlight from invasive plants with overgrown leaves soaking it all in, leaving whatever lives below it to die. As a part-time gardener,full-time educator, and artist, I find myself constantly thinking of new and innovative ways to combine my talents to create good in the world. By using found materials and tools, my practice is sustainable and eco-friendly.As I engage members of the Boynton Beach community in a dialogue about the park and its elements, I will focus on highlighting plants and animals in the area.This will raise awareness and insight into how we can reduce our footprint on Earth while still enjoying it. As I continue to delve into the relationship between plants and humans, I aim to integrate them into my daily life and into my work. By creating a sustainable art practice, my work is not only accessible but also eco-friendly. With these considerations in mind, I hope to add mywork and collaborative vision to the living, breathing Quantum EcoPark. I am looking forward to becoming a member of the design team.Thank you for your time and consideration. Best, Jacoub Reyes 732.725.2061 j a co u b reyes@g m a i I.co m www.acoubreyes.carrd.co November 18, 2021 Art Advisory Board Agenda Package Page 14 THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH QUANTUM ECOPARK 3111 QUANTUM BLVD, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA Jacoub Reyes Cover Letter (cont.) Artist statement I am a printmaker and installation artist based out of Orlando, Florida. In my current practice, I find and make materials and tools as part of an experimental aspect in my process. I salvage and transform found wood as a reflection of how marginalized and oppressed communities have been cast aside throughout history. With these, I carve detailed large-scale allegorical woodcuts based on the acculturation of the Caribbean and the world at large. I have found that using religious and mythological archetypes create visual tropes that parallel the experiences of marginalized groups, allowing for a shared and deeper understanding of topics once thought of only for academics. From the sides of forgotten buildings to interactive handmade structures, my installation work incorporates sound recordings, prints, and video elements that meld personal histories with global shifts.Through this method, I can prioritize bridging the gap that connects our present and past with the hope of preventing historic recurrences. My work, built from found objects, holds and preserves history that viewers can experience firsthand. Artist Biography Reyes hosts workshops independently in the community. Reyes is a recipient of Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant,The Puffin Foundation,The Pew Collective Grant,Allies in Arts Grant, United States Artists Grant, Immerse Artist Grant,Awesome Grant, Southern Graphics International Grant, and J.R. Hopes Scholarship. His work is held in several public and private collections, including MassArt, Morgan Conservatory, UCF, Frontera Galeria Urbana,The City of Orlando's Public Art Collection, and Hoopsnake Press. He has exhibited regionally, nationally, and internationally. Notable exhibitions include the International Print Center New York, Umbra: New Prints for a Dark Agejuried by Alison Saar,Arte Insurgente/Tres Gatos Press Residency and installation in Guadalajara, Mexico, Southern Graphics Conference International's EI Encuentro beach installation in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and PaperWest juried by Willie Cole.

Positioning and Planting Native Tree As a part-time gardener and landscape artist,I r> understand how vital it is to plan out where plants u = grow and what they grow next to;sometimes roots can a cause foundational problems or bring pests and other animals that are not welcome on a frequently used trail. We can preserve the natural ecosystem by positioning and planting trees and other native plants while creating beautiful areas. Strategic repositioning also gives us a chance to highlight the effects of invasive species and showcase the unique properties of our native plants.
