Motion was made by Chair Sharaby to approve the PAAB Minutes from October 21, 2024 and was seconded by Board Member Aptakin. Motion passed 6-0. For the record, Board Member Kent arrived approximately 5:08PM and a full board was in attendance. It was announced by Dr. Flynn that the first item discussed tonight would be the Lead with Love Mural Project which was listed as b under III Presentation/Discussion. III. PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION a) Parks and Recreation: Concepts for Sculpture at CW Thomas For the second item discussed, Community Development (CD) Director Norena explained that Cassi Waren, Parks and Recreation (R&R) Director, would speak about the private art installation on public property. The CD Director gave both background information on the project and information on the application process. The City had to follow the same guidelines as any developer would have to. In designing/construction of the park, there was an impact fee for public art and they decided to install the art on the property which cut the fee in half. The City was being treated as a developer in this case. Parks and Recreation used the PAAB List of Artists that we Public Art Advisory Board Meeting - Minutes 2 December 16, 2024 created from our pool of artists. They have about three or four artists that they were interested in using and wanted to bring this in front of the board. This was a unique situation of private development on public property. The Parks and Recreation Department would show the board the designs they would like to use and wanted the board’s input. P&R Director Waren said that they were all sculptures and she showed the pictures of the sculptures they chose by the artists: Mandolyn Tollison, Faducci LLC, Jessica Bell, and Jim Benedict & Lily Kuonen. She mentioned which was the favorite. She even showed a rendering of what the building would look like with a sculpture in front. Dr. Flynn asked if the P&R Director was looking for recommendations on one artist or just discussions to narrow down the selections. P&R Director Waren said that the project was under construction and they wanted to ensure the art piece was done and installed when they opened the building up. The building would be finished before the overall site project. They have to demolish the existing building and finish with that renovation. The building should be done in October. Board Member Goradesky asked and Director Norena answered that the City required all new development to install art or pay into the Public Art Fund. They decided to install art. Board Member Goradesky felt that the pieces looked like they needed a base, or something added. Board Member Gironda for the Faducci piece, said the eyes on the double dolphins should be corrected as one eye was too low on the sculpture. Director Waren spoke about a concrete base/slab. Dr. Flynn said that if the public had access to the piece, she wondered if there would be sharp edges. She did not see anything in the description about safety and information regarding how the materials would hold up, etc. There had to be some kind of hurricane code. Board Member Kent felt that a sculpture would be climbed on. They decided to use voting sheets to narrow this down to the top two artists. After going through the voting process, the first choice was for Faducci and second choice was a tie between Mandolyn Tollison and Jim Benedict. Jessica Bell was eliminated. Discussion ensued regarding moving forward and they decided to just vote between Mandolyn Tollison and Jim Benedict for second choice. Mandolyn Tollison won 2nd choice with the first choice being Faducci with the two dolphin sculpture. The budget for this was under $60,000. Motion was made by Co-Chair Schipper to recommend approval to the City Commission of Faducci LLC with the two-dolphin sculpture and amended wave and eyes was seconded by Board Member Kent. Motion passed 7-0. b) Lead with Love Mural For the first item discussed, the artist introduced himself as Cey Adams and also present were Robyn Vegas and Lori Pretico. Ms. Vegas started the presentation with slides showing past Love Murals done by Cey Adams and she pointed out that each one was different. When a mural done in Plantation, FL was shown, she was asked and answered regarding its location and also answered Mayor Davis regarding its completion date. Director Norena reminded that the location the City chose was by the beach and lighting would be an issue. If additional lighting was added, it would have to be turtle friendly. She explained the amber coloring and other regulations. Dr. Flynn asked about colors for the mural. Cey Adams answered and explained that he was going to lean a little toward beach life but would rather hear from those in attendance to know what they would want considered in the design. They went around the table starting with Board Member Gironda who suggested shades of blue. Board Member Kent suggested an expression of the beach location rather than a turtle or dolphin. Board Member Granett passed. Board Member Aptakin and Board Member Goradesky just wanted the artist to do what he thought was correct. Co-Chair Schipper loved the artist’s work so whatever he did for things like tropical, beach, etc. would be great. Mayor Davis would like vibrant colors and to bring in the scope of the City plus the artist’s vision to the table. Dr. Flynn thought the board should not dictate the design and the artist should have the freedom to elaborate. The only thing the artist asked for clarity on was if there was a specific color or color palette that identified with Dania Public Art Advisory Board Meeting - Minutes 3 December 16, 2024 Beach. Maybe something recognizable to locals that he could consider including. Dr. Flynn said they could provide him with the color palette but she suggested for the artist to go with what inspired him. Board Member Goradesky inquired about the font the artist would use. Cey Adams said something that would be identifiable from far away. Director Norena inquired about the installation being in February and Robin Vegas said that was correct per Cey’s availability. Dr. Flynn said that at the January 27th PAAB Meeting, they would like to see the concept and Director Norena said it would have to be at least a week before that. Dr. Flynn said to let them know before January 20th, if the artist needed a little extra time. Robyn Vegas reminded those in attendance to take a trip to the Museum of Graffiti. IV. ACTION ITEMS a) PA-054-24 Public Art Installation for CW Thomas Park Please see the second item discussed tonight that had to do with Public Art Installation for CW Thomas Park (Parks and Recreation: Concepts for Sculpture at CW Thomas under Presentation/Discussion). b) Public Art Maintenance and Conservation Agreement For the third item discussed, Planning Art Consultant Dr. Linda Flynn said that Public Art Works was hired to conduct the maintenance for the full Dania Beach Public Art Collection. Maintenance and Conservation were critical for the art collection. There were three quotes obtained and Public Art Works was chosen. Theirs was a $10,000 estimate and Dr. Flynn went over what was listed in the collection. Mayor Davis spoke about the three-year old mural on the beach for which the colors were fine but the screws would be rusting. She wanted to know if the City would touch it up or what. Director Norena said that stainless steel screws should be used on the beach and she would look into that. Dr. Flynn would look into having a recommendation of using stainless steel screws. Motion was made by Board Member Kent to recommend approval to the City Commission of Public Art Works for maintenance and conservation of the full Dania Beach Public Art Collection in an amount not to exceed $10,000 which was seconded by Board Member Granett. Motion passed 7-0. Discussion ensued that if maintenance could not be done on a piece of artwork because restoration was needed, we could always go back to the artist. Restoration was not part of this agreement and maintenance definitely needed to be set up. The contract would be yearly, so if we needed to change vendors, we could do it then. We would also check into being able to cancel the contract within 30 to 60 days, if necessary. c) Ignite Sponsorship recommendations For the fourth item discussed, Director Norena asked Board Member Aptakin about the image being projected on City Hall. She wanted to ensure that they were okay with what was being projected. She explained that when we go to the City Commission with the Ignite Sponsorship, we wanted to be able to inform about this as well and that was why she needed some insight as to the images now. He showed some images from other places but he did not have the ones being created for Dania Beach. Board Member Aptakin would be able to give the director samples from other places but not the ones that were being created for Dania Beach. As Ignite was February 14th through February 23rd, the director asked if she would have anything to show the Commission by their meeting on January 28, 2025. The director was not sure how comfortable the Commission would feel approving an image they could not see. The board member said they could also choose if they want the projection on City Hall or on the parking garage. Director Morena reminded that previously there was a discussion for $20,000 in monetary donation and up to $10,000 in-kind donation. Board Member Aptakin was temporarily out of the room for the vote as he was involved with Ignite. Motion was made by Board Member Granett to recommend approval to the City Commission of $20,000 in monetary donation and up to $10,000 in-kind donation for the event which was seconded by Board Public Art Advisory Board Meeting - Minutes 4 December 16, 2024 Member Goradesky. Motion passed 6-0 (Board Member Aptakin was temporarily out of the room for the vote). V. ADMINISTRATOR UPDATES a) Anniversary Celebration For the fifth item discussed, Planning Art Consultant Dr. Linda Flynn explained that not enough money was spent on this. The mosaic was on the website now and discussed doing a time lapse of the two-hour video. b) Creative Visions Call: Commission Meeting, January 28, 2025 For the sixth item discussed, Planning Art Consultant Dr. Linda Flynn explained that it would be approved at the January 28, 2025 Commission Meeting. It would be an open call and we should start getting proposals. c) 2025 Meeting dates review The dates would be sent out again. Mayor Davis thanked everyone on the board for their hard work. VI.

Faducci LLC Solomon Bassoff & Domenica Mottarella PO Box 923 North San Juan CA. 95960 530 292-3857 info@faducci.com www.faducci.com Biography Faducci was developed in 2002 by the combined exploration of artists, Solomon Bassoff and Domenica Mottarella. Their whimsical emotive sculptures have received enthusiastic acclaim and have been acquired for both public art installations and private collections. Their creative interests are sparked by nature and constantly influenced by the wildlife that surrounds their home in the Sierra foothills. Domenica Mottarella has worked extensively in soft sculpture, ceramics, graphic design and watercolor painting. Her design skills reflect her love of animals and the natural world. Solomon Bassoff has excelled in wood, bronze, steel and delicate realistic watercolor paintings. He is in a unique position as both an accomplished artist and knowledgeable retired general building contractor. He developed excellent communication skills during his career working with public officials, architects and community. Through exhaustive research Solomon has created a unique technique of hand sculpting cement transforming an unusual medium into an expressive sculptural form that is both detailed and durable. Their intention is to create artwork that will continue to engage and delight the viewer. They have accomplished this goal at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle WA., by creating a life sized Komodo dragon. This work provides a play structure as well as an interesting and educational sculpture for the exhibit. In Redding, CA, the artists created various exciting sculptures to enhance the Children’s Garden at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park/Sundial Bridge. Their sculpture with its whimsical nature is particularly endearing to the young and young at heart. They are experienced at creating artwork that celebrates the natural environment, while delighting and inspiring the viewer. Their seventeen giant sunflowers at Hummingbird Park in Natomas, CA. creates a wonderful year round colorful focal point in the park. . In Davis, California at the community garden and central park we designed a monarch butterfly caterpillar wearing seven different pairs of shoes. This has become a well-loved iconic symbol for the students, children and residents in the area. Faducci has recently completed four sculptures for the Northwest Library in Oklahoma City. The work illustrates their diversity of theme and skill in creating large public sculptures In addition to large public art projects Faducci sculptures are held in high esteem in the private collections across the country.

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 needs to meet applicable building code permit requirements. AZIMUT moving art installation by Arnaud Lapierre, Venice, Italy. Squid Tree by Knits For Life / Lorna and Jill Watt, San Mateo, CA. 17CITY OF DANIA BEACH INTERACTIVE ART 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 viewer's proximity to it. Or, the artwork may require human interaction such as turning a crank, be dependent on technology, or activated through a touch screen.

Environmental art may encourage sustainable practices and conservation, or it can be functional. Materials may include those found in nature, such as stones 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. Cloud Arbor by Ned Khan, Pittsburgh, PA. These Trees by Kathy Bruce and Alastair R. Noble, Pennsylvania College of Technology, PA. Stone Circle by Robert Smithson, Lake Taupo, New Zealand. 21CITY OF DANIA BEACH FUNCTIONAL ART 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, 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.

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 on site, nor are they necessarily given studio space. They are required to collaborate with the city, and the public, and create connections within the community.

The City may wish to join the Florida Association of Public Art Professionals and the Americans for the Arts' Public Art Network in order to maintain current knowledge of public art projects being implemented throughout the country, and the budgets assigned to such projects. The cost of public art will vary depending on type, location, size, and structural design. A material or method that is ideal for one climate may not be suitable for use in Dania Beach. Outdoor artwork needs 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 CITY OF DANIA BEACH DANIA BEACH LOCATION OPPORTUNITIES 27CITY OF DANIA BEACH OCEAN PARK 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. Opportunities .Ocean Park presents an opportunity for a landmark sculpture that is 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 can highlight the sunrise or moonrise over the Atlantic Ocean. 3The planned parking garage offers an opportunity for dynamic painted murals or attached sculptural items that are unique and enrich the human connection to the natural world in ways that are both interesting and educational. $ An artist should be given the opportunity to collaborate on the design and propose creative solutions for shade structures, pavilions and associated architectural components such as benches and bike racks. Complete integration of the artwork will result in successful creative placemaking. /Envision the Dania Beach Pier 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. 1Ocean 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. 4Ocean Park’s entry and exit presents an opportunity for public art that distinguishes Dania Beach from other beach-front areas. This art can have kinetic features or create interest for those in vehicles, welcome visitors and leave a lasting memory of Ocean Park. 2 Lifeguard towers can be canvases for artwork. The art should reflect the beach environment while conveying the forward-thinking attitude of the City. 28 CITY OF DANIA BEACH WEST LAKE PARK DANIA CUTOFF CANAL IN T R A C O A S T A L W A T E R W A Y OCEAN PARK E DANIA BEACH BLVD DR. VON D. MIZELL- EULA JOHNSON STATE PARK N O C E A N D R I V E DANIA BEACH MARINA DANIA BEACH PIER WHISKEY CREEK PARK FRANK C. “TOOTIE” ADLER PARK FAU SEA TECH AT L A N T I C O C E A N Considerations Due to the harsh environment, materials should be sustainable and carefully selected by the artist. A regular inspection and general maintenance schedule 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 selected artist. Call to Artists will include a link to the Dania Beach Ocean Park Revitalization 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. The artist will 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 budget should increase accordingly. Artist-designed functionally integrated items that enhance standard necessities should be budgeted in excess of $100,000 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 budgeted at $15,000 per tower (Opportunity 7). 29CITY OF DANIA BEACH 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. Opportunities .The green space surrounding City Hall, and its parking garage have the potential to 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. 3A network of functional public artworks, placed in strategic locations throughout the downtown district will complement 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 dialogue 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. /Artist-designed markers at historic properties offer incentives for pedestrian activity. Quick response codes (QR codes) incorporated into the markers allow viewers to use their cell phones to access more information about the property translated in multiple languages. 1Commission displays of temporary outdoor artwork that address themes of importance to the City and its people. The grounds around City Hall, the landscaped area in front of the adjacent parking garage, or vitrines placed along sidewalks can be installed for displays of temporary artwork. Pop-up art can be displayed in the historic corridor or on the windows of businesses. 4Several 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. 2 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. DOWNTOWN DISTRICT 30 CITY OF DANIA BEACH Considerations A concentration of public art in the historic downtown will enhance the City’s reputation as a cultural destination. Hotels can 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 QR codes are used, virtual descriptions or videos can be provided in multiple languages, thus increasing 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.

Location Major vehicular corridors include Griffin Road, South Federal Highway, and Dania Beach Boulevard. Bryan Road is becoming increasingly busy due to new development and is accessed from either Old Griffin Road or Stirling Road. Southwest 30th Avenue links Griffin Road with the northwestern-most part of the City. Portions of Stirling Road and Sheridan Street are 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 these roadways. Opportunities .Long stretches of sound barrier walls that separate Griffin Road from the Melaleuca Gardens neighborhood can be a canvas for art that conveys a sense of movement and welcome. 3The I-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. Artwork, or a series of artworks, with a natural environment theme will delight and educate pedestrians and can encourage walking or jogging. /Gulfstream Way and the Tri-Rail station are an 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 also an opportunity for art. 1Whenever 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 include: 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 GATEWAYS AND VEHICULAR CORRIDORS 32 CITY OF DANIA BEACH 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). Whenever possible, artwork that makes an impact across a wide geographic area should be commissioned. The artwork will be a welcome surprise, or a welcome home, or otherwise create landmarks. 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 Road, Dania Beach Boulevard, Stirling Road or Sheridan Street. The artwork might be located blocks or even miles apart, but still contributes to the understanding that the viewer is in Dania Beach. 33CITY OF DANIA BEACH PARKS Goal Public art in parks should celebrate community pride, reflect the surrounding neighborhood, and reflect the purpose or function of the park, and surrounding neighborhood. Location The City of Dania Beach’s Citywide Parks Master Plan (2019) organizes parks throughout the City 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 within the City. Many of the parks are named after people who made a significant contribution to the City. 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 can include meetings or charrettes with stakeholders, community surveys, or creative events where residents can provide input that will inform the Call to Artists. Exterior 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 hung from ceilings if space allows. 3The 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 can 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 sources of community pride. Successful playgrounds are ones where the artist and landscape architect work together to create an artistic and fun experience. The artist can be invited to design playground components and obtain all necessary safety approvals for custom features. /Commission portable artworks for each of the community centers. Rotate the artwork bi-annually to maintain interest. 34 CITY OF DANIA BEACH Tigertail Lake Center 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). 35CITY OF DANIA BEACH THE PATCH 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. 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/or be incorporated into bike racks. 3Temporary 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 (Opportunity 3). DANIA BEACH C W THOMAS PARK MILDRED V.

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, and 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. Opportunities .Host a temporary light and sound event to 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 can be projected onto canals from bridges or barges. The theme of the event can change each year and should coincide with other County visual art events. 3Commission 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). 37CITY OF DANIA BEACH
