PUBLIC ART POLICY
It is believed that a public art policy would better assure consistency, quality , appropriateness and responsiveness.
There is a concern to put a process in place that will be followed by all parties interested in placing art in public places in the City of Eureka.
We consider Public Art any art that is located in publicly accessible places (i.e., in public buildings, schools, public parks, squares, waterfront areas, etc.) It is primarily visual, but not exclusively. It promotes a sense of identity with the place in which it is sited.
It is created as a result of an active dialogue between commissioners, artists and the public.
CO-COUNCIL
A "friends of" council has been formed through the Ink People called the Eureka Art & Culture Council that will work on fund raising, surveys and various activities beneficial to the EACC.
ART INVENTORY
Commission members completed an inventory of the City Art Collection and compiled this on a database.
ART SHOW
*In January, 2006, a show of selected art works of the city art collection was held at the Jennifer Kincaid Gallery during Arts Alive. This gave the public the opportunity to see the collection in a gallery setting during evening hours. Two guest musicians, Danielle Chien, violinist and Rick Saria, guitarist donated their talent to this occasion.
WEB SITE
The EACC has a web site up and running created and maintained by Commission member Susan Bloch-Welliver.
ART SURVEY
*A public art survey of citizens of Eureka was completed. Names and e-mails were collected for follow-up. Your input is important. We welcome your participation. If you would like to be contacted, please send your name and phone number to us on our contact page
