SUMMARY
The Public Arts Commission is requesting approval of a new public art project
commissioned to beautify local business windows and engage local artists.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Public Arts Commission Window Art Project at various local businesses at
an estimated total cost of $5,724 from the Public Arts Fund.
BACKGROUND:
At their meeting of January 15, 2020, the City's Public Arts Commission approved funding
of a $60,000 Community Grant program for neighborhood associations and business
districts, with a goal to connect artists with businesses, and provide a sense of community
experience during the COVID-19 social distancing.
As part of that grant program, the Commission desires to commence a temporary window
art project, working with local businesses and local artists to beautify storefronts and
create visual interest along Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon Drives. Three artists have
been selected and have submitted proposals for Council's consideration, as shown in
Attachment 1. The proposed project locations are:
• Angel View Thrift Store, 454 N. Indian Canyon Drive
• El Mirasol Restaurant, 140 E. Palm Canyon Drive
• FKA Banducci's Restaurant, 1260 S. Palm Canyon Drive
Using a local print vendor, the selected art images will be printed on vinyl window film and
installed at each location. The window film is designed to have longevity in the desert
heat and can be easily de-installed. Although this is a temporary, 6-month installation, the

window art, which has a total cost of $3,000. The City will also contract with a local print
