G
H
H
Hi
I'm
Liana
Hamby
I
have
been
with
the
department
for
I
think
about
three
months
now,
but
I
am
the
public
art
project
coordinator.
A
Thank
you.
Okay,
thanks
everyone
for,
for
the
introductions,
nice
to
see
some
new
faces
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
time
today,
so
the
the
pack
that
was
distributed,
and
so
from
commission
perspective,
I'd
like
to
see
if
they
would
like
to
make
a
motion
about
the
minutes
from
our
last
meeting.
A
Any
discussion
100
minutes
all
those
in
favor
opposed
salute.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
We
have
a
good
agenda.
A
fun
agenda
today
that
December
meetings
before
cover
December
meetings
were
always
most
fun
movies,
and
so
it's
nice
to
be
back
in
a
sort
of
a
in
a
fun
way.
So
we
today
we
have
an
update
from
Stephanie.
A
Are
you
ready
to
yeah.
E
A
A
B
Okay,
so
in
my
public
art
program
updates,
I,
just
I
listed
all
of
the
projects
that
are
kind
of
on
the
docket
for
FY
23..
Some
of
them
are
carryovers
from
FY
22
and
we
have
so
I'll
start
from
the
top
and
the
West
Valley
Ustick
nip
public
art
project.
Is
it's
forthcoming?
We're
trying
to
up
the
budget?
B
It's
a
piece
of
public
art
with
the
neighborhood
investment
program
and
we're
working
with
the
selection
committee
to
draft
the
RFP
and
then
Consulting
and
purchasing
to
get
the
formal
food
process
going.
So
the
timeline
for
that
is
looking
like
we'll
release
the
RFP,
February
and
March
and
then
hoping
to
start
kind
of
contract
with
an
artist
and
fabricate
and
get
installed,
possibly
by
the
end
of
the
year.
B
B
The
design
team
has
presented
a
design
Visual
and
the
friends
of
Jesus
or
kita's
group
and
the
larger
selection
committee
met
last
week
and
gave
feedback
for
modifications
for
the
designers
to
make
some
of
the
feedback
was
for
it
to
be
more
colorful,
so
we're
hoping
to
see
what
modifications
they
make
and
hopefully
we
can
accept
a
design
and
we'll
close
out
that
phase
of
the
project-
airport,
public
art
plan,
I,
think,
is
also
nearing
completion.
B
Tilly
is
working
on,
I,
think,
a
presentation
to
the
airport
Commission,
possibly
City,
Council,
Central
bench,
Transit
shelters.
Those
have
been
on
hold
waiting
for
the
transit
shelters
to
actually
be
constructed,
as
those
are
vinyl
wraps
that
are
going
on
the
transit
shelters.
We
have
already
selected
the
artist,
so
that's
just
all
on
hold.
B
E
B
We
are
looking
at
trying
a
projection
art
pop-up
this
year,
but
to
kind
of
experiment
into
a
different
media
of
our
digital
artists.
B
We've
got
the
BBC
the
Boise
visual
Chronicle,
looking
at
experimenting
with
elevator
wraps
at
a
few
City
buildings,
it's
kind
of
a
different,
a
different
mode
of
doing
that
program,
and
then
we've
got
about
four
CCDC
projects
coming
up.
The
first
is
the
old
Boise
blocks,
or
we
have
two
Opera
two
public
art
opportunities
and
a
budget
about
165
000
I'll
be
presenting
to
the
CCBC
board
on
Monday
for
the
T4
agreement
with
them
about
projects.
B
B
We
have
the
Irma
Hayman
house,
the
River
Myrtle
District
C4,
coming
up
it's
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
we've
got
signage
for
the
Irma
Hayman
house,
lighting
for
the
Memoirs
of
Irma,
Hammond,
public
art,
installation
on
the
wall
and
then,
hopefully
to
maybe
one
public
art
opportunity
that
will
be
new
in
the
property
and
then
the
final
one
with
CCDC
is
the
linen
blocks
on
grow
about
150
000.
We
have
planned
two
art
ports
and
a
billboard
sign
that
we're
working
on
we're
working
on
with
them.
B
B
Well,
we
will
be
putting
together
selection
committees
for
linen
events,
possibly.
B
About
the
same
time,
for
Boise
visual,
sound
like
a
little
elevator
wraps
and
then
and
then,
as
we
kind
of
start,
to
develop
the
projects
that
CCDC,
those
will
also
have
selection
committee.
So
it's
worth
coming.
A
A
A
And
we
have
two
adap
members
here,
so
some
ability
to
participate
in
Google
past
you've
ever
been
able
to
participate,
but
we'll
have
our
Ahab
opportunity
to
participate
in
oh
yeah,.
C
So
actually
I
am
handing
this
off
to
Jennifer.
Weibar
I
will
be
jumping
in
a
little
bit,
but
we
sort
of
thought
that
since
I
haven't
been
here
for
the
year
in
review
to
review
that
it
might
make
more
sense
for
Jennifer
to
do
that.
So
she
has
put
together
a
really
great
presentation
that
is
going
to
sing
into
the
Department's
praises
and
I'll
I'll
say
a
few
words.
She
saw.
F
All
right,
we
marked
14
years
as
a
department
this
year
and
we
experienced
a
lot
of
transition
and
change.
Oh,
you
know
what
I'm
just
hold
on
one
second
I'm
just
realizing.
We
have
an
animation
here
that
I
do
not
want
so
hold
on
one
second,.
C
F
F
E
F
I
may
just
choose
to
share
it
like
this
I
apologize
for
that.
Okay.
Here
we
go
nope.
Sorry,
one
more
time
am
I
still
sharing
I'm
still
sharing.
Okay,
sorry
bear
with
me
all
right,
so
we
experienced
a
lot
of
transition,
starting
in
January
with
the
retirement
of
the
Department's
director
Terry
shoresman,
who
served
the
department
who
was
you
know
the
first
director
and
served
for
13
years.
F
Amber
Byerly
was
named
director
and
January
and
served
through
March,
and
while
the
mayor's
office
searched
for
the
next
director,
Parks
and
Recreation,
director
Doug
Holloway
served
as
interim
and
in
September
2022.
The
department
welcomed
Jennifer
Stevens
as
the
new
director,
and
here
we
go
that
same
month
on
September
22nd,
the
Irma
Hammond
House
in
the
historic
River
Street
neighborhood
opened
as
the
city
of
Boise's
newest
cultural
site.
F
With
mayor
and
City
councils
approval,
the
department
of
arts
and
history
were
asked
to
be
the
stewards
of
this
project
and
we
had
and
and
concretized
plans
to
rehabilitate
the
Sandstone
construction
and
preserve
contextualized
and
interpret
Mrs
heyman's
story,
the
owner
or
the
property
owner,
and
she
lived
there
for
over
60
years
and
also
conceptualize
the
history
of
the
River
Street
neighborhood,
in
which
the
Irma
Hayman
house
is
located.
F
Today.
The
Irma
Hammond
House
stands,
as
you
know,
a
Remnant,
a
physical
reminder
and
a
space
of
possibility
to
explore
National
issues
of
race
class
and
place
alongside
lesser-known
stories
like
that
of
Mrs
Heyman,
and
this
work
would
have
not
been
possible
without
the
irmajamin's
task
force
and
members
of
Irma
Hammond's
family.
F
This
project
literally
took
every
single
Division
and
a
department
across
the
city,
our
staff
researched,
the
property
conducted
oral
histories
established
an
archival
photo
and
documentation
collection
and
selected
a
nationally
recognized
artist,
Vinnie
Bagwell,
whose
work
you
can
see
right
here,
the
Memoirs
of
Irma
Hayman.
F
We
are
very
grateful
to
our
archivist,
who
published
the
city's
first
Digital
Collection,
with
a
focus
on
the
River
Street
neighborhood
and,
as
I
mentioned
today,
the
Irma
Hayman
house
directly
supports,
celebrates
and
amplifies
the
stories
of
historically
underrepresented
communities
in
our
city
past
and
present,
and
we're
hoping
to
do
that
through
inclusive,
culturally
mindful
public
programs.
So
more
on
that
soon.
F
Shortly
after
the
grand
opening
and
celebration
of
the
Irma
Hayman
house,
the
fettuccine
Farm
commenced
its
season
with
a
lecture
about
the
home
and
neighborhood
of
this
new
cultural
site
featuring
Dr,
William
white
III
featured
here
all
the
way
to
the
left.
He
discussed
an
archaeological
dig.
He
led
him
voices,
River
Street
neighborhood
in
2015..
We
also
featured
Darren
Perry
in
November,
and
we're
very
excited
to
welcome
Lisa,
McLean
and
Rachel
Taylor
in
February
of
next
year
and
Tamara,
Bennett,
Shelton
and
March.
F
F
The
series
The
fettuccine
Forum
series-
it
was
a
three-part
series-
was
only
offered
online
due
to
the
pandemic.
That
series
was
related
to
climate
action
or
climate
change
and
environmental
history
in
Idaho
and
west.
Our
history
division
was
also
very
busy
putting
together
an
extraction
called
history
of
Halls.
F
F
H
F
This
exhibition,
it
was
and
is
still
on
through
the
end
of
the
year,
was
a
very
extraordinary
and
the
fact
that
it
showcases
over
130
original
artworks
and
dozens
of
artifacts
by
American,
Artist,
James,
Castle
and
so
we're
very
lucky
to
be
showcasing,
one
of
probably
one
of
the
largest
collections
in
a
single
Space
by
this
artist
in
his
home
in
Boise.
F
We
also
programmed
around
this
exhibition
with
an
artist
talk
featuring
a
guest
curator
Andre
Merrell,
the
James
castle
house
for
inspiring
residents
this
past
year,
including
Tanya
Alvarez,
Emily,
Culver,
Antonis,
Tim
Bowie,
and
we
currently
have
Mark
Dombrowski
on
site
for
a
short
stay.
His
Open
studio
event
is
this
Saturday
from
11
to
1..
F
Speaking
of
cultural
Investments,
we
announced
for
2023,
27
recipients
of
arts
and
history
grant
funding
these
individuals
and
organizations
will
receive
funding
to
Total
112
500
for
cultural
projects
that
occur
between
October
1,
2022
and
September
30th
2023,
and
these
are
just
two
examples:
Idaho
dance,
theater
and
Boise
women's
course
so
be
on
the
lookout
for
their
exciting
events
in
the
year
to
come.
F
Cultural
Investments
continue
in
our
community
through
artist
selections,
namely
six
Boise
artists
for
the
2022
traffic
box
program,
Derek
Burton,
Eva,
streischer,
Jess,
Wagner,
Laura,
McDonald,
taylene,
faisa
and
Vina
Domingo.
We
are
still
working
with
the
artists
and
our
Fabricators
to
install
those
boxes
or
there's
the
wraps
for
the
boxes
and
picture
picture
here
is
Rachel
Mayer
the
artist
selected
for
the
linen
District
fence,
public
art,
that
is
a
familiar
Comforts
and
is
a
fabric
installation
which
I
highly
recommend.
F
G
F
Memorial,
so
the
project
was
in
response
to
the
recent
instances
of
graffiti
in
the
tunnel
and
selected
in
late
August,
muralist
August.
Sorry,
Abby
Boswell
painted
an
incredible
amount
of
surface
alongside
hundreds
of
community
volunteers
and
really
provided
light
and
a
really
dark
moment
in
our
hip
in
our
in
our
city.
Look
out
for
the
public
dedication.
Probably
in
the
spring.
F
Our
public
art
team
was
also
busy
conducting
several
public
art
walking
tours
or
a
series
of
public
art
marketing
tours
May
through
October,
and
we
literally
wouldn't
be
able
to
showcase
the
beauty
of
our
City's
collection
without
the
essential
and
imperative
work
of
our
care
and
conservation
team.
Who
is
constantly
providing
a
much
needed
repair
care
and
maintenance
to
our
public
art
collection.
F
F
So
we
are
very
proud
of
the
work
we
have
done
this
year.
We
couldn't
have
done
it
with
the
support
of
Mayor
and
Council,
without
the
support
of
our
colleagues
across
the
city
and
without
the
support
of
our
commission
and
members
of
the
arts
and
history
advisory
team.
So
from
all
of
us,
thank
you.
Experience.
C
Thank
you
so
much
Jennifer
Mr,
chair
the
rest
of
the
commission.
I'll
just
add
a
couple
of
things.
I
wanted
to
just
reiterate
from
Stephanie
that
we
are
going
to
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
panel
selections
this
year
and
really
hoping
that
our
advisory
team
in
our
pension
takes
advantage
of
those
opportunities
and
helps
us
get
the
word
out,
because
we
do
several
of
those
coming
forth
that
we're
hoping
for
a
wide
variety
of
books
to
serve
on
I
wanted
to
just
give
you
a
quick
update.
C
Okay
weeks,
I
hope
I
also
wanted
to
just
say
one
one
other
thing
about
the
grant
round.
C
We
normally
have
150
000
budget,
and
if
you
listen
closely
to
Jennifer
she
kind
of
didn't
you
just
not
a
number
with
regard
to
the
amount
that
you
granted,
so
we
actually
are
taking
off
the
second
round
of
Grant
applications
that
announcement
about
early
in
January
for
the
same
period,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
we're
going
to
need
people
who've
got
panel
selection
as
well,
and
we
expect
to
give
those
grants
out
in
April
if
I'm,
not
the
state
or
end
of
March,
with
programming
starting
April,
so
be
on
the
lookout
for
that
to
finish
out
that
Grant
rounds
and
then
finally
I
just
wanted
to.
C
We
had
Bellagio
on
the
screen
a
minute
ago,
as
the
last
slide
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
one
of
the
things
that
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
since
coming
to
the
city
is
working
with
DC
and
making
sure
that
we're
taking
advantage
of
every
opportunity
we
can
to
really
get
the
art
that
we
need
into
those
Urban
Memorial.
C
It's
good
to
see
you,
and
so
we've
been
working
really
hard
on
that
and
actually
Elijah
to
put
together
an
incredible
deferred
maintenance
plan
that
I've
just
presented
today
to
CCBC
to
I
would
say
very
open
reception
to
that.
C
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
making
that
really
smoothing
that
relationship
out
streamlining
it
a
little
bit
so
that
the
working
relationship
over
the
next
couple
of
years
before
those
two
districts
that
I'm
talking
about
Sunset,
which
means
and
is
really
strong,
and
we
can
really
put
a
lot
of
great
stuff
into
those
districts.
So
just
wanted
to
add
those
few
things
that
had
happened.
Kind
of
on
my
watch
a
little
bit
and
thank
you
again,
Jennifer
for
taking
that
report.
G
A
A
B
G
B
Did
an
amazing
job
facilitating
she
kind
of
works
that
way
on
her
projects
where
he
had
a
member
on
the
selection
committee
that
set
up
a
couple
opportunities
with
Interfaith
sanctuary.
B
Remember
my
brains,
blinking
on
some
of
the
other
organizations
for
volunteer
shifts
and
and
then
it
was
a
lot
of
people
that
just
happened
by
and
you
know
they'd
kind
of
linger
and
you
tell
they
were
really
interested
and
she'd
just
come
over
and
be
like.
Do
you
want
to
paint?
So
you
know
whatever?
Sometimes
you
know
killing
people
cleaning
at
once,
so
she
she
kind
of
sketched
it
out
and
then
so.
She
would
allow
the
volunteers
to
come
usually
between
the
hours
of
like
12
and
4..
B
So
she
would
have
some
time
to
paint
by
herself
and
then
have
a
really
easy
way
for
people
to
just
kind
of
find
a
spot
that
they
were
interested
in
that
they
were
drawn
to
and
they
could
fill
it
in
and
yeah.
That
was
such.
A
C
Next
on
our
agenda,
yes,
next
emergency
I
think
is
our
God
too.
Yes,
so
first
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody.
I
know,
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
work
with
a
lot
of
you
yet
because
upon
who
I
am,
but
in
particular,
even
though
I'm
just
meeting
you
for
the
first
time.
Oh.
C
We
especially
want
to
give
thanks
today
to
Alan
heacock,
who
has
served
two
terms
on
this
commission
and
two
two
terms
on
the
commission.
Two
terms
and
I
know
also
just
published
a
book.
So
congratulations
too,
that
came
out
in
August,
yeah,
right,
yep
but
I
know
you've,
given
a
lot
of
service
to
the
city
and
had
a
lot
of
colleagues
who
are
grateful
for
that
and,
of
course
the
city
is
grateful
to
you.
So
we
have
a
small
gift
to
give
and
I
I
don't
know.
C
If
any
of
my
other
colleagues
want
to
say
anything
that
will
work
with
you
a
little
bit
longer,
but
as
I
stand
up
and
bring
this
to
you,
I
will
let
them
go
within.
H
C
C
Now
that
sometimes
service
to
the
city
can
be,
you
know
you
don't
get
a
lot
of
gratitude
for
it,
and
so
but
but
it's
imperative
the
work
you
do
is
imperative
to
the
work
that
the
city
does
so
we're
very
great.
That's
gorgeous
yeah.
A
H
D
Good,
so
it's
been
a
pleasure.
What
would
this
I'll
talk?
Maybe
six
years,
it's
gone
by
fast,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
I
trap
in
terms
of
the
amount
that
has
changed
into
the
department
and
the
amount
of
projects
that
have
gone
through,
it's
an
amazing,
not
a
difference,
so
I
think
I
personally
had
I
think
maybe
you
know
John,
Kristen
and
Amy,
or
maybe
doing
people
still
around
the
building
of
staff
changing
and
just
the
amount
of
amazing
panels
and
projects
and
conversations.
B
D
Art,
history,
stuff:
it's
gone,
the
opening
of
the
James
castle
house
complete
Triumph
there,
the
Heyman
house,
beautiful,
huge,
pink
tree
in
the
middle
of
town,
pride
and
joy.
So
many
projects
to
even
one
of
my
favorites
said
the
the
giant
peacock
for
tree
fort.
D
That
would
go
around
town,
I
thought
hard
for
the
peacock
peacock,
but
just
so
much
amazing
public
art
and
I
I
think
that
anyone
who
walks
around
town,
even
if
they
don't
notice
they
feel
the
difference
that
this
department
makes
and
the
amount
of
good
that
we
do
for
the
community.
H
D
Been
a
thrill
I've
had
a
great
time
about
all
the
conversation,
but
it's
been
an
hour
or
two
a
little
Bittersweet
to
be
stepping
off
and
and
over
to
other
people,
but
I
know
that
it's
in
very
good
hands
I
wish
everybody
the
best
of
luck
and
keeping
on
keeping
on
and
doing
the
great
work
for
the
community.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
this,
and
this
is
super.
G
D
A
D
It's
been
it's,
it's
always
crazy
to
get
an
interesting
experience.
You
worked
on
so
before
a
very
long
time.
I
worked
in
this
book
for
a
long
time,
I
think
being
a
novelist
is
maybe
the
most
insane
thing
even
out
of
anyone
who
wants
to
be
an
artist
because
you
worked
for
years
on
one
project
and
then
you
get
paid
and
so
there's
a
kind
of
insanity
built
into
it.
D
But
then
it
comes
out
and
you're
completely
exposed
and
you
go
out
the
world
and
listen
to
people
talk
about
it
and
you
have
to
figure
out
how
to
talk
about
this
crazy
thing
that
you
made
up
and
then
it's
fiction
but
you're
exposing
the
fact
that
you're
a
complete
lunatic
pain
from
your
imagination
and
there's
a
small
amount
of
pride
and
a
little
bit
of
Shame
involved.
D
But
it's
been
cool.
You
know
I've
traveled
around
and
had
very
good
experience
and
people
have
been
receptive
to
the
book,
and
so
it's
kind
of
so
far,
so
good
everything
I
can
hope
that
it
would
be
and
just
chugging
along
now.
The
weird
thing
is:
I,
start
another
new
book
and
continue
the
madness
that
is
this
journey
as
a
as
a
writer.
So
thank
you
for
asking
well.
D
D
Coverage
so
there's
my
publisher
foreign.
D
They
can
hire
out
some
of
the
best
designers
in
the
world
and
my
very
favorite
designers
I
mean
Rodrigo
Corral
and
every
year
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they
come
out
with,
like
the
top
10
best
covers
of
the
year,
and
he
always
has
multiple
in
the
top
ten.
D
A
D
D
G
G
D
Colt
and
then
I
think
emergency
cult
leaders.
A
Well,
thank
you
and
again
I'll
appreciate.
A
So
Jennifer
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
else
that
you
want
them
to
we're.
C
C
Main
of
course,
as
you
all
know,
and
well,
I'll
say
a
few
words:
okay,.
