SUBJECT: Bloomberg Philanthropies' Asphalt Art Initiative Grant Application
DATE: December 26, 2019
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to seek approval of grant application submitted to
Bloomberg (Foundation) Philanthropies' Asphalt Art Initiative to fund the 'Sustainability
Awareness Bus Stop Sidewalk Murals' project to be overseen by the Office of Arts and
Cultural Affairs and developed in collaboration with City's Transit Division and
Sustainability Office.
BACKGROUND
After meeting with representatives of multiple City departments on November 25, 2019
to explore potential alignment with Bloomberg Philanthropies' newly announced Asphalt
Art Initiative funding program, the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs was encouraged to
draft and submit a project proposal in anticipation a December 12, 2019 application
deadline. The project proposed is a collaboration the City's Transit Division and
Sustainability Office, and builds on the success of the 2019 Storm Drain Mural pilot
project.
DISCUSSION
The Asphalt Art Initiative by Bloomberg Philanthropies sought proposals from US cities
with populations of 30,000-500,000 to implement an arts project seeking to incorporate
visual interventions in roadways, pedestrian spaces, and/or vertical transportation
infrastructure. The project proposed by the Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs in
collaboration with the City's Transit Division and Sustainability Office seeks to create a
network of painted sidewalk murals under and spilling out of 14 public bus shelters.
The theme of the sidewalk mural designs, to be identified through a public call for
artists, must be family-friendly, celebrate the users of public transportation, and raise
awareness of the importance of environmental stewardship. The final designs will be
reviewed and chosen by a panel including representatives from the Arts and Cultural
Affairs Advisory Commission, the City of Dubuque's Transit Division, and Green
Dubuque.
The proposal was developed in connection with all City Council goals in mind and aligns
with multiple priorities and strategies Arts and Culture Master Plan including 1) seek
philanthropic support for the arts from sources outside of Dubuque, 2) make arts and
cultural resources and activities available in every neighborhood in the city and county,
3) make art more visible in all aspects of daily life in Dubuque, and 4) facilitate the
presence and participation of arts and culture at non-cultural activities and venues. The
project is also in line with goals of Sustainable Dubuque, Imagine Dubuque, and
aspects of the Climate Action Plan.
If awarded, the project would be implemented beginning in Spring 2020 with the
release of a call for artists and conclude in Fall 2020 with a community celebration and
unveiling of the sidewalk murals. Funding for the project, estimated at $27,583, will be
accounted for through:
. $21 ,928 Asphalt Art Initiative grant award
. $1 ,000 cash match pledged by the City's Office of Sustainable Communities;
. $1 ,000 cash match pledged by from the City's Transit Division;
. $2,675 in-kind match of estimated staff time from the City's Office of Arts and
Cultural Affairs in project oversight;
. $980 in-kind match of estimated staff time from the City's Public Information
Office in branding and promotional support of the project
BUDGETIMPACT
Grant funds will be received and paid out in partnership with Green Dubuque Inc. as
the projecYs fiscal agent. Pledges from City departments mentioned above are
accounted for in outreach funds in the FY21 Operating Budgets of the respective
offices. There are no new costs to the City of Dubuque.
If the project does not receive grant funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies,
implementation will not proceed as proposed.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP
I respectfully request approval of the grant application submitted on December 12, 2019
to the Asphalt Art Initiative program funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the
subsequent implementation of the 'Sustainability Awareness Bus Stop Sidewalk Murals'
project should funding be awarded in Spring 2020.

♦ Project Summary
Choose a succinct title foryour project.
Sustainability Awareness Bus Stop Sidewalk Murals
Provide a brief summary of your proposed Asphalt Art Project, including your goals for the project
and how it will interact with the existing site.
The proposed Sustainability Awareness Bus Stop Sidewalk Murals will create a thematic collection of 14
hand-painted murals on the concrete under and around the public bus shelters throughout the City of
Dubuque. The goals of our project are to implement public art to 1) celebrate the users of public
transportation, 2) draw attention to the City's asset of extensive and accessible public transit system, 3)
plant messaging that raises awareness of the City's sustainability focus and encourages environmental
stewardship in alignment with the efforts of Sustainable Dubuque and goals of the City's Climate Action
Plan, and 4) advances the goals and the priorities of the City's Arts and Culture Master Plan to make arts
and cultural resources and activities available in every neighborhood in the city and county, make art more
visible in all aspeds of daily life in Dubuque, and facilitate the presence and participation of arts and culture
at non-cultural activities and venues. The west side of Dubuque, an area that is considered an art dessert in
our community, will receive 5 of the sidewalk murals. The project supports 7 of the 8 the Dubuque City
Council's 2024 overarching goals.We envision that each mural will be up to 15 square yards, with the
painted designs on the concrete under the bus shelters and seating areas at the sites and spilling out onto
the adjacent pedestrian walk way.
♦ Site Details
Choose the category that most closely Other
defines your proposed site.
Other Proposed Site-Please Specify: Sidewalk plus Footprint of Public Bus Shelters
Provide a description of the project site(s), including your reasons for selecting it. Include
information about the physical layout and characteristics, current site conditions,general volume of
vehicle and/or pedestrian traffic, neighborhood/community context, and any existing initiatives or
revitalization efforts on that site.
The strength of the projecYs site selection is that it encompasses a widely diverse cross-section of the
community. Bus shelter sites range from being in densely developed downtown commercial locations, 2 of
our local college campuses, senior housing developments, older residential neighborhoods with a large
number of walkers and high percentage of persons in poverty, newly developed high traffic commercial
areas, and an industrial park. A handful of the sites are located at the edges of public parks.The bus
shelters are located at high-priority locations which serve 86% of the City's public transit routes. In FY18,
the City's public bus system served 507,703 riders, ranging from 30,367 to 47,098 riders monthly. All sites
are in excellent to good condition with concrete surfaces in need of only minor surface cleaning prior to
paint application.The project is inline with City Council goals, goals and priorities of the City's Arts and
Culture Master Plan, and creates a partnership that advances the efforts of the Transit Division, Sustainable

Which of the following is the highest Promoting collaboration and civic engagement in local
priorityforyourproposedproject? communities
Forthe priority you indicated above, identify the specific baselines and measurements you will use
to determine success(e.g.,traffic volume, pedestrian activity, number of artists or volunteers,
number of community events,etc.):
We will determine our success based on:
Artists applying/design proposals received:The City's recent Storm Drain Mural project had only 3
available sites yet received 40 proposals from 20+ artists. Our annual Art on the River public art program
averages 50-60 applications per year. Our goal is to receive 70-100 design proposals from at least 40
artists (individual artists will be able to submit up to 3 designs).
Number and diversity of audience in attendance at Community Events: The City's hosts an annual Grand
Opening of Art on the River that draws 200300 people. Our goal is to draw a similar number to the
Community Unveiling of the Bus Shelter murals and to give out upwards of 500 free day bus passes.
Engagement with on Social Media and the projecYs web page on the City website: We will utilize Facebook
/Instagram to engage the public with the call to artists, the murals in progress, and the Community
Event(s). We will implement a people's choice voting procedure on the City's website. Goal numbers have
not been set but engagement will be tracked and reported out.
We also hope that this project will inspire increased volunteerism and engagement from the public in the
City's Climate Action Plan and the Arts and Culture Master Plan. We also anticipate changes in perceptions
of public transportation. The project will reach artists, seniors, elementary and high school students, college
students, workers, environmentalists, transit dependent residents.

bus system in early October.
Removal Date (if applicable): N/A
Promotion: Throughout and ongoing
♦ Artist/Design Selection
Briefly describe your process for developing a design for the project, including selecting an
artisVdesigner and what the criteria for selection will be. If an artist has already been chosen,
identify them and how they were chosen.
Artists will be identified through a standard call for art process.The Office of Arts&Cultural Affairs has a
14-year track record of facilitating successful calls for iYs Art on the River public art program. Proposals will
be reviewed and scored by a panel of community volunteers and city officials.
Criteria will include 1) Educational Value (attempt to engage as to the role of public transportation and
promotion of environmental stewardship), 2) Aesthetic Value and Creativity (artistic merit), and 3)
Community Appeal (family-friendly and add to the visual appearance of the area). Designs will be
considered ineligible if they include business advertisements, any breach of intellectual property, or depict
illegal adivities.
♦ Community Engagement
Briefly describe how you plan to engage the communities in the surrounding neighborhoods
throughout the projecYs planning, development, and implementation?And how do you plan to
gauge community support for the project? :
Within the grant cycle, the community will be engaged in 4 ways:
1) In addition to releasing our call for artists through typical'art' channels, we will work with the City's
Neighborhood Development Coordinator to raise awareness and solicit designs via neighborhood meetings.
2) Volunteers from the City's Arts and Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission, Green Dubuque, and the
Dubuque Transportation Advisory Board and representative(s) of the City of Dubuque's Transit Division will
serve on the panel to review and choose from the submitted designs.
3) As artists are scheduled, the community will be notified via social media of locations where murals are in
progress and encouraged to visit the artists at work.
3)We will host a public reception at the main Public Transit transfer facility upon completion of the murals in
early October as a pre-conference activity for the 13th Annual Growing Sustainable Communities
Conference.
4) On the day of the public reception, free bus passes will be available to any requesting one.
5) A public bus will be chartered to provide free guided tour of the murals, traveling the standard bus routes
to see the network of murals.
Upon conclusion of the grant cycle, we plan to continue to engage the community through ongoing mural
tours, social media campaigns, and multi-month people's choice vote solicitation. Community support will
be gauged through word of mouth feedback, regular surveys of the bus drivers, and engagement on social
media.

Bloomberg Philanthropies https://bloomberg.fluxx.io/grant requests/20762461?printable=l
If applicable, briefly list any programming you will coordinate to activate the space, either city-led or
in partnership with other nonprofits.
A tour of the sidewalk murals will be incorporated in the programming for the 13th Annual Growing
Sustainable Communities conference to be held in Dubuque, October 20-21, 2020 organized by
Sustainable Dubuque.
We'll launch an extensive social media campaign to involve and inform residents about the project.
Information will be shared at neighborhood meetings, newsletters, and NextDoor Neighborhood sites on an
ongoing basis. A brochure will be created to provide a project overview and map; the brochure will be
available at locations throughout the City but most importantly at Travel Dubuque,the City's downtown
tourist information center, alongside the City's public art program brochures and the Walking Tour map of
our building murals.
♦ Ongoing Maintenance
Depending on how long the proposed project is intended to last, briefly describe your plans for
maintenance, repair, and/or deinstallation of the project.
The sites will be maintained through the year-round general maintenance by the City's Public Works
Department. Exterior water-based traffic grade paint,which the City has successfully used in its recent
Storm Drain Mural project, will be used for all murals; we do not anticipate touch up of the murals for 3-4
years. The murals will be inspected on a biannual basis. After 3 years, we will fully evaluate the success of
the project, the state of the murals, and if touch up is needed and continuation of the project is desired by
City Council. 10% contingency has been added to the budget in case of vandalism or unintentional damage
due to weather that may require us to hire an artist to restore the mural prior to the end of 2020.
