DAVIS Commissioner LORI LEWELLEN Commissioner LAUREN OLDMAN DANIA BEACH SEA IT LIVE IT LOVE 11 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H The city of Dania Beach is experiencing unprecedented growth with the addition of commercial and residential developments in all sectors of the city. This rapid change to the built environment, and influx of new residents, has presented an opportunity to consider the appearance of the city of the future. City leaders recognize the potential to transform Dania Beach for the benefit of citizens, while highlighting its charm, character, potential, and history through public art. Planning for public art in Dania Beach began in2009 when the City Commission adopted the Community Redevelopment Plan, which recommended establishing an art in public places program. The City's Economic Development Strategic Blueprint (2012), recommended establishing an arts committee that could assist with the implementation of programs that would make Dania Beach a more artist friendly city. The Commission then established the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board. The role of the eleven -member Council is to assist the City in identifying policies and plans for the enhancement of a vibrant, engaged arts community. The Council includes five City Commission appointees and six ad hoc members. The Council is responsible for assisting City administration in fostering a strong and vibrant cultural environment that supports a diverse program of performing and creative arts, for both residents and visitors. The Council is also charged with developing initiatives that promote the growth of creative industries and encouraging excellence in design and historic preservation. With an arts council in place, the Commission adopted the Dania Beach Community Arts Plan (2012). The document, created for the City's Community Redevelopment Agency, offers 10 key strategies that would contribute to economic vitality through creative placemaking, including establishing a public art program and a public art board. In 2019, following the success of the Creative Arts Council's Signal Box 7 public art initiative, where local artists were commissioned to create designs for traffic signal boxes located throughout the Community Redevelopment Agency's redevelopment area, the City Commission enacted a public art ordinance. The landmark ordinance established a funding stream for public art linked to growth and development, and called for a public art plan and guidelines to ensure that the municipal program will function, thrive, and benefit the citizens of Dania Beach. The Public Art Plan outlines goals and objectives for the public art program based on themes that emerged from public input collected through community outreach activities. This participatory approach to the planning process is a first step in developing a connection between the citizens of Dania Beach and the public art program, and lays the groundwork for giving the entire community access to the arts. The Plan emphasizes best practices in the selection of public art. Generally, the most successful public artworks are memorable and unique to the location. Public art will echo the diversity of the City and tell stories of its people and places. It reflects the contemporary character, cultural diversity, and history of the City. Implementation of the Public Art Plan; will result in the establishment of creative gathering spaces, enhanced City buildings that reflect the City's people and cultures, and will provide access to the arts in all sectors of the City. The development of an art collection ensures that community aesthetics are considered as new development transforms the built environment. The addition of public art to City locations will ensure that residents continue to be proud of not only the history and setting of Dania Beach, but also its aesthetics and vitality. C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 6 E A C H 5 The Public Art Plan plan will lay out a flexible process for making specific decisions about public art and identify key opportunities for commissioned artwork throughout the City. The plan should be used as a guide for determining how public art funds will be used, for setting priorities, and developing an annual work plan. The Plan will serve as a tool for achieving the best public art outcomes. The Public Art Plan and Guidelines will: • Serve as a tool for implementing the public art ordinance • Outline a process for determining how public art funds will be used • Identify goals for public art • Offer an overview of types of public art • Identify key locations for public art • Identify the roles and responsibilities of City commission, advisory boards, City staff, and private developers • Define a process for the selection of art that emphasizes inclusion of the community at every milestone • Recommend a review process for public art incorporated into private development projects O C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 9 E A C H t� Live Art Portal by Hen Carlson.

The public art planning process began in autumn 2020 and included tours of the city, review of City planning documents, and development of a public art survey. Throughout the process, the planning team worked closely with City staff to identify stakeholders and public art opportunities. The online survey was distributed with the assistance of key City staff who will be involved with implementing the public art program on behalf of the City Commission. Survey questions were designed to elicit responses indicating where people would like to see public art in the City, and the types of public art residents are looking forward to finding in their city. Respondents also indicated whether they wanted to play a role in the public art process in the future. Take Flight by Do— Blumberg, Lake Eola, Orlando, FL. Individual listening sessions were held with City commissioners, the business community, Broward Sheriff's Office police and fire officials, and the cultural community. These conversations explored the commercial and creative climate of the City, new development, public art typologies, and how these individuals may be involved with the selection of public art in the future. The planning team made a presentation to the City Commission on December 8, 2020, who were meeting virtually at the time due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The presentation outlined the benefits of public art to a community and the types of art that might be found in premier arts destinations. From the surveys and conversations, the planning team learned that the community welcomes innovation and entrepreneurship on all levels. Many believe that Dania Beach must distinguish itself from neighboring municipalities, and that the public art ordinance offers an opportunity for innovations and new landmarks. They believe that public art is a component of smart growth and that public art is urgently needed as a companion to smart growth and development. Reflections by C.J. Rench, San Mateo, CA.

Squid Tree by Knits For Life (Lorna and Jill Watt), San Mateo CA. TEMPOPAPY APT Art that is on display for a limited period of time is referred to as temporary art. The artwork may be borrowed from its owner or commissioned for the display period. Some temporary artworks such as environmental art may be designed to naturally deteriorate, disappear, or disintegrate over a period of time. There are many advantages to hosting regular or occasional temporary art events. For example, temporary art can be used to introduce communities to public art, build an audience, or to facilitate participation in decisions about public art. Temporary art can be used to create energy and transform the perception of a place or neighborhood. This type of art, in interior or exterior spaces, can be an opportunity for experimentation and pilot programming. Hosting displays of work by national artists will enhance Dania Beach's reputation as a place to engage with high quality art and culture. Temporary art can be portable for movement from place to place. It may be returned to the artist following the conclusion of an agreed upon exhibition period. Outdoor temporary work will need to meet applicable building code permit requirements. C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H 17 INTERACTIVE The viewer becomes a participant in interactive art, thus giving the art new meaning or context. Examples include art that is designed to be walked through or played on. Interactive art might change in appearance depending on the viewers proximity to it. Or, the artwork may require human intervention such as turning a crank. Interactive art can be dependent on technology and activated through a touch screen or by using a website.

ENVIPONMENT.46L APT Environmentally -based artworks may be visual manifestations of environmental conditions, exploratory or educational in nature, or solve an environmental problem. Environmental art may encourage sustainable practices and conservation, or it can be functional. Materials may include those that are found in nature, such as stone or sticks that are repurposed by the artist. Examples include storm water collectors and artist -designed permeable surfaces that ensure water absorption into the ground. Stone Circle by Robert Smithson, Lake Taupo, New Zealand. �D 4 N I A E F % H PlJNCTI NAL AV Functionally integrated art enhances standard building and landscape components with unique artistic elements. This type of art ranges from bike racks and benches to play structures and plaza design. Public art can be part of a strategy for "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)," an approach to urban and architectural design that minimizes crime. A professional artist should be commissioned for design of functionally integrated art, whereas a project architect or engineer might assist the artist with integrating the design into capital improvement projects. Signs and logos are generally the realm of specialists and are not funded with public art allocations. Tree Bench by Paul Sorey, Seattle Parks and Recreation, WA.

The artist may be provided with studio space within a facility or could be commissioned to creatively document an activity or milestone. Artists in Residence are not required to live or site, nor are they necessarily given studio space. They are required to collaborate with the city and the public and create connections with the community. A Place To Grow byAmanda Phingbodhipakkiya. Chapel Hill, NC. C f !

The city may wish to join the Florida Association of Public Art Professionals and Americans for the Arts Public Art Network in order to keep up to date with public art projects being implemented throughout the state, and the budgets assigned to such projects. The cost of public art will vary depending on the type of art, the location, size, and structural design. A material or method that is idea for one climate may not be suitable for use in Dania Beach. Outdoor artwork will need to meet stringent Florida building codes and permitting requirements. Generally, artwork should be low maintenance and created from materials that are highly durable. Union 2 by Ralfonso Gschwend, Lake Eola, Orlando, FL. 26 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H Goal Public art at Ocean Park will celebrate the environment, and promote environmental education and stewardship. Location The Dania Beach Ocean Park Revitalization Plan (2014) describes Ocean Park as multiple municipal properties located at 110 North Beach Road. The site lies between the Atlantic Ocean and New River Sound/Whiskey Creek, which connects to the Intracoastal Waterway. Site Description Ocean Park includes the beach, Dania Beach Pier, a municipal marina, FAU SeaTech campus, a parking lot, restrooms, and lifeguard stands. Proposed future site improvements will address overall beautification, the addition of a parking garage, picnic pavilions, a playground, and other amenities. 28 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H Art Opportunities 0Ocean Park presents an opportunity for a landmark sculpture that is both memorable and encourages viewers to pay attention to the environment. This artwork will create a special experience for park visitors and contribute to the overall feel of the space. Public art located along the walkway adjacent to the beach could highlight sunrise or moonrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Landmark sculpture is typically large scale and invites public interaction, such as picture taking. ©Plans for Ocean Park include a new parking garage. The exterior of the building is an opportunity for dynamic painted murals or an attached sculpture that is unique and connects the viewer with the natural world. The artwork will be consistently interesting and educational. Ocean Park will be like no other beach in Florida. An artist should be given the opportunity to collaborate on the design and propose creative solutions for shade structures, pavilions and associated components such as benches and bike racks. Complete integration of the artwork with the built environment will result in successful creative placemaking. The Dania Beach Pier could be envisioned as a marine science exploration zone. The entry gates, benches, and shade structures all present opportunities for public art that facilitates learning about marine ecosystems. Ocean Park is an ideal location for digital art components that invite human interaction. This art could be a digital touch -screen, or art that is propelled by Ocean Park visitors. ©Ocean Park's entry and exit presents an opportunity for public art that � distinguishes Dania Beach from other beachfront areas. This art could be a series of kinetic features or artwork that creates interest for those in vehicles. The artwork should create a lasting memory of Ocean Park for the viewer. 0Lifeguard towers can be a vehicle to present artwork. The artwork should reflect the beach environment while conveying the forward -thinking attitude of City. Considerations Due to the harsh environment, materials should be sustainable and carefully selected by the artist. A regular inspection and general maintenance schedu should be established for public art at Ocean Park. Ten percent of each project's budget should be set aside for future maintenance of the artwork. Requests for Proposals to build the parking garage or other park amenities should include language stating that the selected contractor will be required to coordinate with the City's artist. Call to Artists will include a link to the Dania Beach Ocean Park Revitalizatior Plan (2014) and emphasize that the artwork must be consistent with the design aesthetic of the park. City staff will ensure that Artist Selection Panel members are aware of the design aesthetic of the park and the need for the artwork to compliment park components and amenities. Budget Budgets will range from $20,000 to $450,000 for each public art opportunity, depending on the scope of work for the art project. The artist w be responsible for utilizing the budget for design of the artwork, materials, installation, transportation and travel, and all applicable permits and taxes. A budget in the range of $200,000 to $450,000 would be appropriate for a landmark sculpture (Opportunity 1). Murals should be budgeted at $15 or more per square foot, depending on the complexity of accessing the site (Opportunity 2). When special lifts or scaffolds are required, the mural budge should increase accordingly. Artist -designed functionally integrated items that enhance standard necessities should be budgeted in excess of $100,00( depending on the number of components (Opportunity 3). An entry or exit feature, a learning center on the Pier or digital artwork elsewhere in Ocean Park should each be budgeted in excess of $100,000 (Opportunity 4,5, & 6). Lifeguard towers should be budget at $15,000 per tower (Opportunity 7). C I T Y O F D A N I A E F A C H DOWNTOWN DISTRICT Goal Public art in the historic downtown should tell the story of the City and its people. A concentration of public art in this area will build the City's reputation as a cultural destination, contribute to the economic success of businesses, and create an attraction for residents and visitors. Location Downtown Dania Beach includes cultural organizations such as the Holocaust Documentation and Research Center, Weiner Museum of Decorative Arts, an antiques district, and notable properties, several of which have been designated as historic by the City and may be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Site Description This urban location features historic buildings, contemporary structures, hotels, and commercial properties. Streetscape improvements link City Hall, the Paul DeMaio Library and a municipal parking garage with Federal Highway. There is a fire station and post office in the vicinity of City Hall. South Federal Highway is heavily trafficked, while side streets are relatively quiet. 30 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H WEn ties pace surrounding City Hall, and its parking garage have the become the hub of public art activity in the City. Interactive sculptural artwork that is fully integrated into the site, with associated landscaping, lighting, and seating, will distinguish this area from other downtowns. A network of functional public artworks, placed in strategic locations throughout the downtown district has the potential to perpetuate the small town feel of Dania Beach. These artist- designed items could include crosswalk and intersection treatments, benches, bike racks, trash receptacles, or decorative bollards placed along sidewalks. Functional public art elements will unify the downtown and contribute to its economic vibrancy. ©Artwork may be placed on the exterior walls of the fire station. Public art in this location should have a dialog with any artwork commissioned for the north side of City Hall. Public art in this location will visually extend the boundaries of the downtown, contribute to charm of the city, and provide an artistic experience for those traveling on West Dania Beach Boulevard to access the nearby residential community. Artwork will be portable (able to be relocated) in the event that the use of this site changes. 0Artist designed markers at historic properties offer incentives for pedestrian activity. Quick response codes (QR codes) incorporated into the markers will allow viewers to use their cell phones to access a website with more information about the property written in multiple languages. Commissioned displays of temporary outdoor artwork that will address themes that are of importance to the City and its people. The grounds around City Hall or the landscape area in front of the adjacent parking garage could be utilized for such purposes. Special vitrines placed along sidewalks could be installed for displays of temporary artwork. Pop-up art that is temporary in nature could also be displayed in the historic corridor. Pop-up art may also be displayed on the windows of businesses. ®Several buildings have murals that need restoration. Owners could be encouraged to restore the existing artwork, or commission new murals with contemporary themes. The Creative Arts Council Advisory Board could develop a resource list that helps building owners connect with a diverse group of artists for hire. New artwork should tell the story of the City, and its people, and evoke memories. Federal Highway presents opportunities for artistic treatments on streetlights and concrete utility poles. Artwork wrapped around the eye - level portion of concrete utility posts can create an identity for the historic precinct. Considerations A concentration of public art in the historic downtown will enhance the City's reputation as a cultural destination. Hotels could distribute walking tour maps of public art, driving tourists to businesses. Walking tours of the public art, either guided or self -guided, will create more pedestrian traffic and enliven the downtown area. When OR codes are used, virtual descriptions ` or information could be provided in multiple languages, thus offering more people access to the artwork. Artist -designed amenities such as bike racks and benches may require prototypes to assess their functionality. Budget Budgets will range from $20,000 to $250,000 for each public art opportunity, depending on the scope of work for the art project. The city should budget $50,000 to $250,000 for interactive artwork that is fully integrated into the site (Opportunity 1). When the artwork is commissioned in conjunction with a capital improvement project, the artist should receive construction credits if the artwork replaces standard necessities. Budgets for a network of functional artworks (Opportunity 2 & 7) should start at $30,000, and increase depending on the quantity. Artwork placed on the fire station (Opportunity 3) should start at $75,000 for a significant and memorable sculpture of the appropriate size for the building. The budget for a series of historical markers (Opportunity 4) would start at $20,000 for small markers. Budgets for temporary art (Opportunity 5) can vary greatly. When artists lend their artwork for an exhibit, they may receive a stipend or rental fee to cover their costs. A budget for smaller painted murals (Opportunity 6) should be set at approximately $15 per square foot and capped at $30,000 per mural. C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H 3E GATEWAYS AND VEHICULAP COPPIDOPS Goal Gateways and vehicular corridors laced with artwork present opportunities for local artists to create exciting artworks that build community pride, and welcomes, delights and inspires viewers. Location Major vehicular corridors include Griffin Road, South Federal Highway, and Dania Beach Boulevard. Bryan Road is becoming increasingly busy due to new development. It is accessed from either Old Griffin Road or Stirling Road, which is partly in the City of Hollywood. Southwest 30th Avenue links Griffin Road with the northwestern -most part of the City. Portions of Stirling Road and Sheridan Street are also located in Dania Beach. Site Description Vehicular corridors are generally two or three lane roads. Some roads run adjacent to, or traverse, canals or railroad tracks. Most roads have sidewalks, streetlights, or signal boxes at some intersections. Traffic travels at a high speed on portions of the roadways. 32 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 9 E A C H Art Opportunities 0Long stretches of sound barrier walls that separate Griffin Road from a Melaleuca Gardens neighborhood can be a canvas for art that conveys a sense of movement and welcome. The 1-95, Griffin Road underpass presents an opportunity for a visual gateway into the City. This artwork will be iconic and memorable. ©Sidewalks on Southwest 40th Avenue, Southwest 30th Avenue, Bryan Road, and Ravenswood Road present opportunities for artwork. Artwork, or a series of artworks, with a natural environment theme will delight and educate pedestrians and can encourage walking or jogging. 0 Gulfstream Way and the Tri-Rail station will be the entry point to the City for some residents and visitors. The existing vinyl banners on the parking garage adjacent to the Tri-Rail station could be replaced by a more memorable artistic expression. The sidewalks along Gulfstream Way are also an opportunity for art. ©Whenever possible, multiple, continuous or a series of artworks should be commissioned for a roadway, thus creating a clear sense of place and artistic identity for Dania Beach. For example, a series of artistic asphalt treatments at intersections along Federal Highway or Dania Beach Boulevard would create opportunities for local artists and contribute to the City's reputation as an arts destination. Other opportunities for a series of artworks includes: • Artistic treatments on fences, concrete bridge abutments • Freestanding gateway sculptures at major intersections or at railroad crossings • Jersey barriers • Streetlights and utility posts • Signal boxes • Bridges over canals • Artwork that complements lush landscaping may have a traffic calming effect on long vehicular corridors Considerations Stirling Road and Sheridan Street partly border Hollywood. Placement of art along these roads should be carefully considered to ensure that it is identified with Dania Beach. Bryan Road and Old Griffin Road may see more vehicular traffic in the future due to the development of Dania Pointe. Permission for public art at certain roadway locations may require approval from the Florida Department of Transportation through their Community Aesthetic Feature program, Broward County, Florida East Coast Railway, Tri-Rail, or South Florida Water Management. Budget Budgets for features along roadways will range from $15,000 to $125,000 each, depending on the location, scope of work, size or number of artworks that are placed at each site. The city should budget approximately $15 per square foot for artwork on sound barriers (Opportunity 1 & 2). A budget for a series of artworks along sidewalks (Opportunity 3 & 5) should start at $40,000. Artwork along Gulf Stream Way and on the Tri-Rail parking garage should be budgeted at an amount not to exceed $125,000 (Opportunity 4). Artwork Projects like these can be expanded year upon year as funding becomes available. For example, a series of artistic treatments to asphalt could be implemented consecutively or simultaneously along Griffin, Dania Beach Boulevard, Stirling Road or Sheridan Street. The artwork s might be located blocks or even miles apart, but still contributes to the understanding that the viewer is in Dania Beach or, in a certain neighborhood C I T V 0 F D A N I A B E A C H 33 Goal Public art in parks should celebrate community pride, reflect the surrounding neighborhood, and reflect the purpose or function of the park. Location Parks are located throughout the City. The City of Dania Beach's Citywide Parks Master Plan (2019) organizes parks into three districts: Western Neighborhood, Central Neighborhood District, and Eastern Neighborhood District. Site Description Each park is unique and may offer passive or active recreation. Parks may benefit from community centers, sports fields, playgrounds, swim facilities, walking paths, or picnic tables. There is also a dog park with a lake, a marine park with boat ramps, and an aquatic center. Many of the parks are named after people who made a significant contribution to the City. Art Opportunities Community Centers located in parks should be a priority for public art enhancements. Given the uniqueness of each community center and park, City staff should engage with the community prior to commissioning an artist. Community engagement may include meetings or charrettes with stakeholders, community surveys, or creative events where residents can provide input that will inform the Call to Artists. Possibilities include freestanding sculptures outside of community centers, imbedded into terraces, or attached to building surfaces. Interior opportunities include tile or terrazzo floor designs and aesthetic enhancements placed on walls, or hanging from ceilings if space allows. The Citywide Parks Master Plan indicated that a priority for residents is access to walking and hiking trails. Artwork that reflects the neighborhood and the park, as interpreted by an artist could be located along walking paths or inserted into walkways. Additionally, seating, trashcans, fencing, perimeter walls, and bike racks placed along paths or trails are opportunities for unique public art. ©Artist designed playgrounds can be great places to play and a source of community pride. Successful playgrounds are ones where the artist and landscape architect work together to create an artistic and fun experience. The artist may be invited to design playground components and obtain all necessary safety approvals for custom features. 0Commission portable artworks for each of the Community Centers. Rotate the artwork bi-annually to keep the display interesting. Considerations Dania Beach residents are proud of the variety and extent of parks throughout the City. Selected artists should be encouraged to connect with stakeholders through hands-on creative engagement activities. The artist will use what they learn about the community through such activities to inform the design of the artwork. Budget A budget in excess of $25,000 is recommended for artwork enhancements in each City park (Opportunity 1 & 2). When public art is part of a park redevelopment project, credits should be extended to the artist for artwork that replaces standard necessities such as benches or trashcans, which the City would otherwise be required to purchase. Playground components should be budgeted in excess of $30,000 for each park, depending on the number and function of each component (Opportunity 3). A budget in excess of $10,000 should be allocated for a rotating display of artworks placed in Community Centers (Opportunity 4). C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 8 E A C H 35 36 Goal Public art at The Patch should be a vehicle for learning about horticulture, sustainability, or promote healthy eating. Location The Patch, an urban farm and market, is located at 1201 West Dania Beach Boulevard, in a neighborhood comprised of single family and multifamily housing. Site Description The Patch was established to improve the quality of life for residents, enhance community health, eliminate blight, and provide access to community horticulture. In addition to growing and selling farm products, The Patch hosts events related to gardening and the arts. The site is enclosed by chain link fence and bordered by single family and multifamily properties. Signage consists primarily of vinyl banners hung on fences. The Patch is intentionally inconspicuous and parking is limited. Immediately opposite the entrance to the Patch on West Dania Beach Boulevard is a continuous 8' high masonry wall that encloses an industrial park and a sidewalk. DANIA MILDRED V. ]ONES COLLINS PARK .ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I ff THE PATCH I T Y 0 F D A N I A 8 E A C H Art Opportunities ®The Patch would benefit from a formal entrance gateway. An artist - designed gateway would establish a sense of permanence for the open- air facility, while conveying a message about horticulture. Components of the gateway design could potentially extend onto the fences that surround The Patch and be incorporated into bike racks for use by those who cycle to The Patch. ©Temporary art that changes at regular intervals could address topics related to community health. These artworks or artist -designed demonstration gardens could have an interactive or teaching component that will engage visitors. ©Artistic enhancements to the masonry wall located on West Dania Beach Boulevard, directly across from The Patch will enliven the neighborhood and encourage walking or bike riding to the urban gardens, thus contributing to the mission of The Patch. Considerations Sidewalks in the neighborhood surrounding The Patch also present an opportunity for public art. Alternately, the sidewalks could be used for a chalk art event or community art. Budget A budget in excess of $75,000 per project is recommended for an entrance gateway and art treatments on the surrounding fence at The Patch (Opportunity 1). An allocation of $1,500 or more, per project, would be sufficient to realize temporary interventions (Opportunity 2). Enhancements to the masonry wall on West Dania Beach Boulevard, such as a mural, should be budgeted at $20 per square foot. Goal Create a unique experience by utilizing Dania Beach's waterways for public art. Site Description Waterways exist throughout Dania Beach and are a significant marine thoroughfare. The Dania Cut -Off Canal extends from the western part of the City to the ocean and is directly accessible from I.T. Parker Community Center, Griffin Marine Park, Old Griffin Road. The Mildred V. Jones Park is a linear park situated on a major canal with views of marinas and marine activity. Many smaller canals branch off of the Dania Cut -Off Canal. Art Opportunities A temporary light and sound event hosted by the City that would occur over the course of one or two weeks each year. The art will be viewable from land or boat/paddleboard. Alternately, an artist could create artwork, placed on land, that plays with the ripples and swell of the water. Video art and light art could be projected onto canals from bridges or barges. The theme of the event could change each year and should coincide with other County visual art events. Commission permanent artwork in City locations that can be viewed by marine traffic. Locations include Mildred V. Jones Park, I.T. Parker Community Center, along Old Griffin Road, and Griffin Park. The underside of bridges also presents an opportunity for public art. Artists should be encouraged to think of these opportunities in terms of a continuous artwork, in which the various components relate to each other. Considerations Permits and permissions may be required to place artwork in the waterway or under bridges. City staff should begin research and apply for such permits well in advance of issuing a Call to Artists. Artists may need to work from barges to place art in the water and are likely to need the assistance of engineers. Budget A minimum budget of $90,000 per project would be required for temporary art displays on waterways using light or video as the medium (Opportunity 1). A minimum budget of $35,000 is recommended for permanent public art located along waterways (Opportunity 2). C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 6 E A C H 37 Establishing a Public Art Advisory Board The City should consider establishing a Public Art Advisory Board to make recommendations about public art. A seven -member advisory board of knowledgeable individuals would have the ability to make sound recommendations and understand the issues surrounding public art, both nationally and locally. The advisory board will be comprised of art and design professionals, and community members with a very strong interest and knowledge of the visual arts. The public art advisory board would meet no less than four times each year and make recommendations directly to the City Commission concerning use of available funds and specific public art commissions. A cooperative approach to arts and culture in the City will ensure that both the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board and once established the Public Art Advisory Board are developing plans that complement each other's work and contribute to the City Commission's vision for arts and culture in the City. The Public Art Advisory Board will: • Review applications from private developers submitted to meet the City's requirement for public art • Collaborate with the City Manager on the development of the Annual Public Art Plan • Recommend approval of the Annual Public Art Plan to City Commission • One member will chair Artist Selection Panel meetings for each project and communicate Panel recommendations to the full advisory board • Review the Plan as needed • Keep up to date with developments and issues in the visual arts and public art • Attend dedication ceremonies for new public art projects • Participate in community engagement activities for public art • Ensure that public art is placed in all sectors of the City • Attend Creative Arts Council Advisory Board meeting as needed • Have a clear understanding of the goals and activities of the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board 38 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H Composition of the Public Art Advisory Board The Public Art Advisory Board will be comprised of a diverse group of artists, architects, designers, curators and other arts and design professionals. City residents who have a strong interest in art and a good understanding of the community can also make valuable contributions to the public art process. Individuals who have knowledge of implementing public art projects or demonstrate an ability to keep up with developments in the field of contemporary art by attending public art conferences, reading about public art trends, or by attending art events offered locally and nationally, should be considered for the Public Art Advisory Board. The City should strive for a Public Art Advisory Board with cultural, racial and gender diversity. The Public Art Advisory Board membership will include: • One City Commissioner • Two arts professionals such as visual artists, architects, curators, graphic designers, or landscape architects (Dania Beach residents and nonresidents will be eligible to serve on the advisory board) • Two City residents with a strong interest and knowledge of art and understanding of the community • Two members of the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board Annual Public Art Plan Development An Annual Public Art Plan that details how available public art funds will be used will create a functional roadmap for the public art program.The Plan should include a list of proposed public art projects, the conceptual budget for each proposed project, and the approximate cost of public art conservation projects. The allocation for each art project should be sufficient to cover the cost of design honorariums for shortlisted artists, artwork, permits, general contractors, and any consultants hired to manage the project on behalf of the City. The Annual Public Art Plan will be compiled by the City Manager or their designee. During the City's annual planning and budgeting process, the City Manager or their designee will review the status of any previously authorized public art projects, the location of such projects, and the project's budget. This information will provide a multi -year snapshot that can be used as an evaluation tool to inform decisions about future public art projects. Such information can also be incorporated into an orientation package for new Public Art Advisory Board members or joint meetings with the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board. When developing the Annual Public Art Plan, it is important for collaboration to take place across City departments to identify opportunities for art to be incorporated into capital improvement projects. By including an artist in the design phase of a capital project, their conceptual design for the artwork can be intentionally integrated into the site by the project architects or landscape architects. Additionally, the project's construction budget can be leveraged whenever possible. The Annual Public Art Plan will prioritize art projects that enhance capital improvement and placemaking projects. The following criteria will be used to assess the potential to incorporate public art into planned capital improvement projects. The Annual Public Art Plan will prioritize art projects that enhance capital improvement and placemaking projects. The following criteria will be used to assess the potential to incorporate public art into planned capital improvement projects. • Sufficient public art funding is available to commission high quality artwork that contributes to the overall success of the project r The capital project timeline allows for the selection of an artist, collaboration between the artist and the project's designers, and for the artist to engage with the community. Opportunities exist within the project for public art that will benefit viewers Inclusion of public art will not pose any public safety issues or delay the project Project is in a City location that does not already have a high concentration of public art Possibility for an artist to design something extraordinary When considering which public art projects to fund, unrelated to capital improvement, City staff and the Public Art Advisory Board should consider opportunities identified in the Annual Public Art Plan and the City's aesthetic and economic goals. Following the Public Art Advisory Board's review of the Annual Public Art Plan, it will be incorporated into the City Manager's proposed City budget. City Commission approval of the City budget will serve as authorization to proceed with the selection of an artist for the public art project. If an authorized project does not activate within the year it was approved, it can be initiated anytime within the following five years. Annual Public Art Plan Development Process City Manager or designee will: 1. Review the Public Art Fund balance and any anticipated revenues 2. Meet with City departments and gather information about possible public art opportunities 3. Review the City's Public Art Plan 4. Determine immediate art conservation needs and obtain cost proposals from consultants or specialists as needed 5. Evaluate whether any consultants or specialists are needed for administration of the public art program, and the cost. 6. Present recommended Annual Public Art Plan to Public Art Advisory Board 7. Forward recommended Annual Public Art Plan for incorporation into City budget documents and Commission approval C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 6 E A C H 39 Commissioning Artists for Public Art Projects Call to Artists Artists learn about public art opportunities through a Call to Artists. Following approval of the Annual Public Art Plan, City staff will draft the Call to Artists for the public art project. The Call to Artists will describe the art opportunity, project, location, honorarium offered for a conceptual design proposal, and the art budget. The Call to Artists will state that the creativity of the artist is welcome. The City Manager or their designee will develop a strategy to distribute the Call to Artists to a diverse and broad population of artists. This approach should elicit a more than adequate number of responses from qualified artists. Dania Beach is a city committed to inclusion. Therefore, the Call to Artists will be crafted in a manner that requests applications from artists of all backgrounds. The Call to Artists will be sufficiently detailed to enable artists to determine if their art practice is appropriate for the project. It will also state whether the selected artist will be required to undertake community engagement activities, either prior to creating the design, as the design is developed, or after the artwork is installed. The Call to Artists is a request for qualifications. Artists are seldom asked to submit a conceptual design proposal with their application. On occasion, the Call to Artists will state the level of experience desired. Artists who are transitioning from studio art to public art are equally capable of producing successful public art projects and should be considered based on the quality of their work as determined by a panel of qualified individuals. The City Manager or their designee will make a recommendation to the Public Art Advisory Board addressing the method of artist selection, the budget, type of artwork, number of artworks or projects, honoraria and other expenses related to artwork selection. 40 C I T Y 0 F D A N 1 A 9 E A C H Methods of Artist Selection Recruitment of an artist may be through one of the following methods. 1. Open Cot11PUL1 011/ =tc: alifications Any artist may submit credentials, subject to any eligibility requirements stated in the Call to Artists, such as residency in a certain part of the state or country. 2. Limited Competition or Direct Selection Artists may be invited to submit credentials or proposals. This method of selection may be appropriate when the project has very specific criteria or the project timeline must be expedited. When using either the Limited Competition or Direct Selection method, and before inviting the artists to apply, staff will first develop a Call to Artists clarifying the budget and scope of work. 3. Direct Purchase. The Public Art Advisory Board may recommend the purchase of an existing artwork or payment of fees for an exhibition of temporary artwork. Artist Selection Panel Composition Selection panels are ad hoc committees assembled to recommend an artist or artwork. The City Manager or their designee will maintain a list of qualified panelists. An Artist Selection Panel may be appointed for each public art project, or the Public Art Advisory Board may serve as the Artist Selection Panel for projects with budgets of $15,000 or less. The Artist Selection Panel is comprised of a minimum of three voting members and non -voting advisors such as City staff familiar with the proposed location for the public art. The Panel should be comprised of the following: t One member of the Public Art Advisory Board who will chair the Artist Selection Panel • Minimum of two arts professionals such as artists, curators, architects, landscape architects, or graphic designers s Non -voting advisors such as City staff The City Manager or their designee will meet with the chair of the Artist Selection Panel in advance of the meeting and review the scope of work for the public art project, the City's objectives, any community input, the composition of the Artist Selection Panel, and the method of artist selection. The chair of the Artist Selection Panel should also be given the opportunity to consult with City staff prior to the meeting to get a deeper understanding of any specific project goals or special site considerations. Artist Selection Panel Meetings Artist Selection Panel meetings generally start with City staff presenting an overview of the public art opportunity. For educational purposes, the Artist Selection Panel may also view examples of public art created for other cities that demonstrate a wide range of mediums and approaches. Selection of an artist will be accomplished through two or three meetings of the Panel. Panel meetings may include a site visit when appropriate. The first meeting will involve careful review and discussion of the applicant's qualifications. This meeting should not be rushed. Some applicants may be experienced public artists and others may be transitioning from a studio practice to public art. Both are equally capable of creating a successful public art project. After a series of rounds of voting, up to three artists will be shortlisted. Shortlisted artists will be invited to attend an interview where they discuss their qualifications or approach to the project with the Artist Selection Panel. Artists may also be asked to develop and present a design proposal, for which they are paid an honorarium. Discussion among voting and non -voting Artist Selection Panel members is a key component of the decision -making process. Selection of an artist based exclusively on numeric scores, without sufficient discussion, is not recommended. The work of the Artist Selection Panel can usually be accomplished using a simple ballot with a yes/no/maybe score system and multiple rounds of voting, with discussion as determined appropriate by the chair of the panel. An alternate artist may be shortlisted in the event that the recommended artist is not available for the public art commission. C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 9 E A C H 41 Selection of an Artist Without a Conceptual Artwork Design Proposal Artists that are selected based on qualifications and quality of past work are given the opportunity to meet with stakeholders, visit the site, conduct com- munity engagement activities, or work with the architectural design team prior to submitting a conceptual design proposal to the City. It is important that artists selected without a conceptual artwork design proposal understand the City's expectations, the process, and the time commitment. This will be accom- plished through meetings between the selected artist and the City Manager or their designee, and a contract between the selected artist and the City. The contract outlines the City's terms, describes the milestones that the artist must complete, the timeline for completion, and the payment schedule. When the artwork is going to be incorporated into a capital improvement project, the selected artist attends multiple design team meetings. These meetings typically include the project architect or landscape architect, City's project manager, and representatives of the City department responsible for the facility. Once there is an understanding of the space available for artwork, the artist creates a conceptual artwork design proposal in accordance with the timeline established by the design team. Upon review and acceptance of the conceptual artwork design proposal by the design team, the Artist Selection Panel and the Public Art Advisory Board, and the approval by the City Commission, the City Manager or their designee issues a notice to proceed to the artist. 42 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A 9 E A C H Selection of an Artist With a Conceptual Artwork Design Proposal When shortlisted artists are invited to submit proposals, City staff provide the artists with detailed information about the site. Shortlisted artists are given the opportunity to review any available plans, photographs, visit the site, and ask questions. City staff may invite shortlisted artists to attend an orientation meeting where the selection process or project goals are further explained. Shortlisted artists are paid an honorarium to develop a proposal. Shortlisted artists present their conceptual artwork design proposals in person, or by videoconference, to the Artist Selection Panel. Following review and recommendation of the conceptual design proposal by the Public Art Advisory Board, and approval by the City Commission, the City Attorney prepares a contract. The contract between the City and the artist outlines the City's terms, project milestones that the artist must complete, a completion schedule, and a payment schedule. Community Engagement Artists engage with the community either prior to creating their conceptual A community thrives when its members feel connected to a shared design proposal or during development of the approved conceptual design purpose. Inclusion in the public art process can create a connection proposal. Artists with limited community engagement experience should be between the community, City leaders, and the public art collection. Often, encouraged to assemble a team of knowledgeable collaborators who can help community engagement for public art will start when the City holds with the delivery of community engagement activities. open meetings where the community can learn about a proposed capital improvement project or public art project. During these public meetings, Discussion about the value of community engagement and examples can be community members may be asked to provide feedback about the public found on the Americans for the Arts website art and other amenities they would like to see within the project space. www.americansforthearts.org. C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H 43 Public Art Staffing The City may wish to consider hiring professional public art staff on a full time, part time, or contract basis. A dedicated staff person would have the ability to administer the program and projects on behalf of the City Manager, assist private developers with the approval process, educate the Public Art Advisory Board on best practices, organize events to showcase the public art collection, create public art brochures, conduct community outreach, build community pride for the public art program, and forge relationships across City departments. Staff responsibilities include: • All duties designated by the City Manager • Advise private developers on the best practices in public art, encourage placemaking projects, manage the private developer approval process • Manage City's public art solicitation and the selection process • Manage contracts with artists and act as the liaison between the artist and the design and construction team • Manage public art collection records and conservation projects • Develop the Annual Public Art Project Plan in collaboration with the City Manager • Keep community members and stakeholders up to date with public art activities • Provide professional development for the Public Art Advisory Board • Create marketing plans, brochures, distribution lists, and coordinate the City's web page and social media for public art • Lead tours of public art • Oversee the completion of public art in private development and be a resource for the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board • Report to the City Manager 44 C 1 T Y 0 F D A N 1 A 9 E A C H Gifts, Memorials, and Donations Donations of high -quality original artwork can make a significant contribution to the City's art collection. A review process for donations ensures that proposed gifts of artwork and memorials have relevance to the City of Dania Beach. The review process will also help the donor and the City understand the costs that may be incurred in connection with the donation. Generally, the donor is responsible for installation of the artwork and obtaining all applicable permits, if required. The donor may also be required to provide funds for future maintenance. The City may take responsibility for preparing the site and landscaping the area around a donated artwork. The review process for acceptance of gifts will: • Ensure that artwork placed on City property is of the highest quality and in excellent condition Ensure that the themes of memorials are not duplicated Create a fair and transparent decision -making process Prevent City property from becoming a place to showcase works of art that are for sale • Ensure that City property isn't used for personal gain or personal memorials • Determine any cost to the City for site preparation Process for Acceptance of Donations 1. The donor submits an application to the City Manager or their designee. The application includes information about the artist and the artwork, including visual documentation, in accordance with the City of Dania Beach Public Art Guidelines or as otherwise requested by the City. 2. The City Manager or their designee reviews the application and consults with City departments. 3. The Public Art Advisory Board reviews the application and recommendations from City staff. The Public Art Advisory Board's recommendation is forwarded to the City Commission. 4. The City Commission approves or denies the application. The City attorney drafts an agreement with the donor as needed. Collection Management As the City builds its public art collection, it will be important to maintain a record of each artwork. Preserving the history of an artwork will assist the City with maintenance of the asset and ensure that accurate information about the artist is available to the public. The permanent record of an artwork will include a "Cataloging Form" (Appendix 4) completed by the artist whenever possible. On the form, the artist will provide their biographical information, a statement about themselves as an artist, a description of the artwork in their own words, location of the artwork, conservation and maintenance instructions, and a recommended conservation schedule. The artist will also provide details about the components of the artwork, such as types of paint used, paint colors, types of metal, or names of suppliers who can provide replacement parts. A list of artworks in the City's collection should also be maintained. A spreadsheet can be created which lists the title of the artwork, date created, name of artist, location of the artwork, and the cost. Databases designed specifically for public art collection management are available for more extensive record keeping. These are useful for the amalgamation of information about an artwork, including photographic documentation, and conservation records. Like other City assets, there should be regular conservation and maintenance of public art. General maintenance will include dusting, replacing light bulbs, or removing leaves and other debris from around artwork. City staf should create a schedule for monitoring and inspecting the artwork. If deterioration is detected, a professional art conservator can evaluate the condition of the artwork, develop a conservation plan, and keep the asset in like -new condition. In some cases, the artist is able to perform the conservation themselves. Public Art Conservation Artists generally select durable materials for outdoor artwork that holds up to the Florida climate. The artist will provide a conservation plan for their artwork. The City should set aside no less than 10 percent of the allocated public art funds for conservation and be mindful of potentially higher conservation costs when commissioning artwork such as lighting or digital art. C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H 45 Public Art on Private Development The City's Public Art Ordinance, 2019-025, outlines a funding mechanism for the Public Art Program, through private development fees. Private developers with projects subject to the fee contribute to the City of Dania Beach's Public Art Fund, which has been created exclusively for public art purposes. The Fund may also accept monetary gifts and endowments. Developers with a public art obligation have two options for compliance. The In -Lieu Public Art Fee allows the developer to contribute one-half of one percent of the cost of the proposed development project to the Public Art Fund, with minimums and maximums set at $5,000 and $250,000, respectively. The Combination of In -Lieu Public Art Fee and Placement of Art on Site option allows the developer to place art on the development site with a minimum value of one -quarter of one percent of the cost of the proposed development project and contribute one -quarter of the cost of the proposed development project to the Public Art Fund. When the Combination option is exercised, the City encourages the developer to select artworks of the highest quality, placed in a manner that will result in a more pleasant experience for those using the space. Developers may wish to engage the services of a professional curator to recommend artwork. A curator will be able to assist with the selection of artworks that will be low maintenance and unique to the property. A curator can also work with the project's architect or landscape designer to carve out spaces for creative placemaking, which will ensure that the artwork is seamlessly incorporated into the site. The developer should commit to maintaining the artwork in its original condition. Art placed on private property should be maintained in accordance with the instructions from the artist and an art conservator should be employed to inspect the artwork if deterioration occurs. 46 C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H Process for Approval of Artwork on Private Development Within the timeframe stated in the City's Public Art Guidelines or as determined by the City Manager or their designee, the developer will submit a detailed Public Art Plan for the artwork to the City for review by the Public Art Advisory Board and approval by the City Commission. The developer's Public Art Plan will include: • Site plan showing location of the proposed artwork and a narrative statement demonstrating that the artwork will be displayed in a public place • Conceptual artwork design proposal, including dimensions, orientation of artwork within the site, materials, and budget for the artwork • Appraised value of pre-existing artwork as determined by a licensed appraiser • Written description of proposed public art including the artist's narrative a Artist's biography or resume Implementation timeline Maintenance and conservation plan for the artwork and a statement from the owner of the development indicating it will assume the responsibility of maintaining the artwork Although there will be varying opinions about art, the role of the City will be to determine if the proposed artwork meets the following criteria: Site Compatibility: Art shall be contextual to the site and compatible in style, scale, material, form, and content with its surroundings, and should enhance the natural and built environment. Location: The art shall be located in a space designed for public use and shall be accessible to the public. Durability: Resistant to deterioration due to weather or the passage of time. Permanence: Artwork that requires costly or continual maintenance is discouraged. Public art shall be resistant to theft and vandalism. Public Safety: Artwork shall not create safety issues. Eligibility: Artwork will be created by a professional artist. Artist shall not be the project designer, landscape architects, or architect. Budget: The budget for the artwork meets the public art requirement for the development project. C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H 47 �OINCLUSIIOf� The Public Art Plan and Guidelines create a framework for the placement, selection and approval of public art and administration of the program. The Plan should be revisited annually when determining where and how to use public art funds, and every five years to evaluate the progress of implementing the Plan. The Plan recommends the establishment of a Public Art Advisory Board, that along with the City Manager, makes recommendations about the selection of artwork to the City Commission. The Public Art Advisory Board's primary charge should be to ensure that high - quality public art is placed in all sectors of the community, and to ensure that it benefits residents, visitors, motorists, and pedestrians. By dispersing public art across the City, it will enhance the quality of life and support the economic goals of the City. Following adoption of the Dania Beach Public Art Plan and Guidelines, the recommended next steps for the City will be as follows. silort Term Appoint a Public Art Advisory Board * Identify potential volunteers to serve on Artist Selection Panels. Provide training to volunteers, explain the public art planning process and artist selection process * Draft boilerplate agreements for commissioned artwork. Obtain City Commission approval. The City Manager will be authorized to execute agreements upon approval of the artwork by the City Commission * Hold a joint meeting between the Creative Arts Council Advisory Board and the Public Art Advisory Board for information sharing purposes Develop an Annual Public Art Plan for the City's next fiscal year • Identify City or consultant staff who can manage public art projects Post the Public Art Plan and Guidelines on the City website 6 Create a webpage for the public art program. Website may be independent of City website. Images of the City's public art collection, including art in private development will be featured. Website will include brief biographies of selected artists, and maps showing the location of the artwork Establish a record keeping system for the public art program that identifies the year artwork was completed, artist's name, a record of all conservation or maintenance, the location, the name of the developer or owner if artwork is on private developer's property Medium Term - I Evaluate conservation needs for existing artwork * Develop an Annual Public Art Plan for each fiscal year • Continually identify potential volunteers to serve on the Public Art Advisory Board and artist selection panels. * Identify and apply for public art grants such as a National Endowment for the Arts' "Our Town" grant Continue to build website content and utilize social media to advise community of what's coming next Determine if partnership opportunities exist to expand the public art program by encouraging entities such as Tri-Rail, Fort Lauderdale - Hollywood International Airport, or Broward Creative Division to place quality artwork on their own property or City property * Hold dedication ceremonies for each newly completed artwork commission • Host educational activities where the community and artists can learn about public art Evaluate the progress made on implementing the Public Art Plan and determine if there are gaps in the diversity and types of art, or underserved areas of the City C I T Y 0 F D A N I A B E A C H 49 Ordnance ARTICLE 811. - Public Art Program Sec. 811-10. - Intent and purpose.
