BACKGROUND The 2022-23 Art on the River (AOTR) will be the City's 16th edition of hosting this popular rotating exhibit of large-scale sculptural public art along the Mississippi Riverwalk in the Port of Dubuque. Each year, the program cultivates a new open-air gallery and community events that engage residents and visitors in a multi-faceted experience of one of our most significant and unique attractions, the Mississippi River. Sculptures are sourced through an open call and available for private purchase for a period of one-year; the 2022-23 exhibit will be on display from August 5, 2022 through late July 2023. DISCUSSION Art on the River is produced annually and promoted throughout by the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs in tandem with community volunteers and City staff. The current AOTR Planning Committee includes Commissioners Ryan Decker and Tom Robbins, community members Mary Armstrong and Gina Siegert, and City staff members Jenni Petersen-Brant, Kelli Buchaneu, and Mike Williams. The Planning Committee, in concurrence with the Commission, used the following process to arrive at this year's recommendation. Theme: The theme "Art on the River: Crossing Bridges" was drafted by the Planning Committee and approved by the Commission to recruit submissions that spoke to physical and metaphorical bridges, and how those `bridges' serve to connect us across divides, help us overcome barriers, and foster economic growth and community prosperity. Selection Process: AOTR sculptures are identified through a national open call for art and community-driven selection process. Program guidelines are posted online and advertised broadly. Any interested artist can submit up to 3 entries for consideration at no cost through our online application portal. There is generally a 6-week window between when the call is released and when submissions are due. This year, we received 45 unique applications 32 artists representing 14 states in the US, as well as India. The Planning Committee engages 3 community members based on their expertise in public art, visual art exhibit curation, and / or in relation to the exhibit's theme to provide an objective recommendation of works to be exhibited from the submissions received. This year's `community juror panel' included: • Kathy McCarthy — Commissioner with the City of Dubuque Equity and Human Rights Commission, Vice Principal with Hempstead High School • Stacy Peterson — Curatorial Director with the Dubuque Museum of Art • Jeremy Rudd — Owner and Operator of Jeremy Rudd Art and Design LLC, Former AOTR artist Panelists independently review, score, and comment on submissions based on the criteria below: • Theme Appropriateness: How well does the sculpture speak, both visually and through the artist's statements, to the `Crossing Bridges' theme? • Creativity: Does the making or presentation of the work demonstrate innovative, original approaches in bold, thoughtful, and / or well-crafted ways? • Aesthetic Value: Will the work arrest the public's attention? To what degree will the work add to from the Riverwalk's natural or built landscape? After all scores were entered and then reviewed by Staff, panelists met in-person and virtually with Staff to collectively curate the exhibit based on said scoring and potential sculpture locations. Until these final curating discussions, information that identifies the applying artist is absent from the process to support unbiased review of applications. Recommendation: The panelists' recommendation of 11 sculptures for exhibit plus 2 alternates was presented to the Commission for consideration on May 24, 2022. Prior to Commission review, said recommendation was vetted by Public Works staff; one sculpture as noted in bullet `c' below requires further consultation with Engineering before an agreement will be extended to the artist. No additional installation concerns have been noted at this time. The Commission unanimously voted on May 24, 2022 to approve the recommendation as follows: 1. Concurrence with the community review panel's 11 sculpture selections and proposed placement, from South to North sculpture sites along the Mississippi Riverwalk, as follows: a. Joe and Terry Malesky, "BE KIND" b. Evan Lewis, "Bell Bridge" c. Tim Adams, "The Other Extreme" d. Tim Adams, "Open Arms" e. Ben Pierce, "hold me up" f. Matt Moyer, "Opportunity Arcs" g. Matthew Duffy, "Low-Poly Open Heart" h. Timothy Flood, "Stranger Reduction Zone" i. Daniel Aldeman, "We Are the Bridge" j. Gail Chavenelle, "Dance Diversity" k. Matt Moyer, "Flowing Connections" 2. Concurrence with the community panel's 2 alternate sculpture selections as needed by Staff to fill any exhibition voids that may arise if a recommended sculpture is unavailable: a. Skip Villits, "Building Human Bridges" b. Joey Manson, "Prevail" 3. Concurrence with siting of Timothy Flood's "Stranger Reduction Zone" in a newly identified, temporary location on the Riverwalk's North-end within City-owned and maintained landscaping pending consultation with Assistant City Engineer. BUDGET IMPACTS There are no new budget impacts associated with this request. The request uses approved FY23 budget allocations dedicated to Art on the River; the FY23 Art on the River budget provides up to 11 stipends of $1,800 per sculpture with travel reimbursements of up to $200 per artist. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff requests the City Manager and City Council approve the Arts & Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission's recommendation noted above related to the 2022-23 Art on the River exhibit. Following City Manager and City Council approval of the above, agreements as reviewed by Legal, will be presented to Artists for signature and forwarded to the City Manager for execution.
