FROM: Arts Administrator via Director of Community and Economic Development
AGREEMENT: ACCEPTING CITY OF PALM DESERT AND CITY OF INDIAN WELLS
CONTRIBUTIONS TO AIRPORT CHIHULY PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement between the City and the City of Palm
Desert accepting a $10,000 contribution, and the agreement between the City and
the City of Indians Wells accepting a$2,000 contribution toward the purchase of two
blown-glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly to be placed on the pedestals around the
fountain in the Sonny Bono Concourse at the Palm Springs International Airport.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Arts Commission worked with the Airport Commission to provide world-
class artwork by internationally-known artist, Dale Chihuly, for the four pedestals
around the fountain in the Sonny Bono Concourse of the Palm Springs International
Airport. Two pieces have been purchased and installed at a cost of $150,000.
These two pieces were paid for with airport construction funds and public art funds.
No general fund money was used. The agreement provided an option to purchase
the remaining two pieces for an additional $150,000. The Arts Commission has been
working diligently to raise the $150,000 needed to purchase the remaining two
pieces. As of this date, $127,600 in cash and pledges have been received. Of that
amount$2,000 has been generously offered by the City of Indian Wells, and $10,000
by the City of Palm Desert. The Agreements presented here for approval authorize
the City to accept the donations from the cities of Indian Wells and Palm Desert.
Upon receipt of these donations, only $22,400 more is needed to purchase the
remaining artwork. A second fund-raising event is being planned for this Fall and the
Arts Commission is fully confident that the remaining donations needed to purchase
the two additional sculptures can be raised in the very near future.
