FROM: Arts Administrator via Director of Community and Economic Development
EXTEND DEADLINE FOR OPTION TO PURCHASE CHIHULY ARTWORK FOR THE
PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City amend the contract between the City of Palm Springs and Chihuly,
Inc., a Washington Corporation, extending the deadline to October 1, 2002, for the
option to purchase two additional sculptures for placement around the interior
fountain in 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 new terminal of the Palm Springs International Airport.
Two pieces have been purchased and installed at 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 with a deadline of December 26,
2001. Amendment#1 to the agreement extended that option to July 1, 2002. The
Arts Commission planned to fund-raise for the additional two sculptures using no
Public Art nor General Fund money for the purchase. The events of September 11,
2001 caused the fund-raising efforts to be put on hold. The Commission felt it would
be acceptable to resume the fund-raising activities in April of this year and have
been able to raise $60,500 since that time. A generous art benefactor has offered
$50,000 in matching funds once $50,000 is raised in increments of $5,000 from
each donor. Only one more $5,000 donation is needed to enact that grant which
would bring the total raised to $115,500. A second fund-raising event is being
planned for this summer and the Arts Commission is fully confident that the
remaining $34,500 needed to purchase the two additional sculptures can be raised
given the additional time. Approval of the option-to-purchase extension will
guarantee that the two pieces selected specifically for the airport site remain
available to the City while the fund-raising efforts are continued.
