Open Forum-No Business
• Nily made motion to approve minutes from February 2021 meeting and it was 2nd by Boyer. Motion
passed.
Old Business
• Anderson and Benefiel provided feedback from their conversation with Hoppock and Rice
regarding the Sculpture Tour. They were open to changes to the brochure. It will now be a smaller
four-fold rather than a tri-fold and reduced the number of pictures to primarily be the current STS
collection only.
• Shared the example new engagement questions for the back of the new STS brochure and
discussed. It was agreed that engagement questions are a good idea and ideas were shared about
changing the order and improved wording.
New Business
• Warren made a motion to approve appointing Vega as the Chair for the Community Art & Design
Committee and it was 2nd by Boyer. Motion passed.
• Lighthouse Properties LLC has purchased one of the SculptureTour Salina pieces and has
requested that it be placed at its current location with an approved License Agreement between
Lighthouse and the City of Salina. SculptureTour Salina and Salina Arts & Humanities personnel
agreed that this long-term placement will not create problems. There are an adequate number of
available pedestals for STS and the City to use. General consensus from the CAD Committee was
that the current location of the sculpture is appropriate. Hodges made a motion to approve the
location of Off the Merry Go Round sculpture by Jodie Bliss of Colorado for placement on City
right-of-way in front of YaYa’s. A 2nd to the motion was provided by Morawitz. Motion passed.
• Discussion followed regarding SAH’s website and the Public Art Section. The CAD Committee will
continue to review and advise regarding the format and function of the new proposed website as
it relates to the public art collection.
