r <br />r <br />NEW COUNTY COURTHOUSE - ART DISPLAY <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/19/95: <br />DATE: MAY 19, 1995 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERV E <br />SUBJECT: NEW COUNTY COURTHOUSE - ART DISPLAY <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Jo Kelly, President of the Artist Guild Gallery of Vero Beach has <br />made a request to display some of their paintings in the new <br />courthouse. Ms. Kelly had made this request by telephone but I <br />requested she put it in writing as per the attached letter. <br />Since there are so many walls in this building that do not have <br />anything on them, I feel the paintings would be decorative as well <br />as impressive to people using that facility. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />In order to support the subject paintings and protect the walls, we <br />would have to install hangers such as is noW in the Libraries. It <br />would also be necessary to have insurance and an agreement that <br />would indemnify the County in case of damage. <br />If the Board approves this request, it is recommended that the <br />price of the painting not be displayed. It is also requested that <br />all Paintings be approved by Staff prior to installation. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt that one organization should not be <br />able to take over a display wall, and Commissioner Tippin suggested <br />that we form a committee and establish a policy before doing <br />anything further. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt we should limit a display period to <br />one month. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously tabled <br />this item and directed Director Dean to come back in <br />two weeks with a policy for displaying art. <br />June, 6 1995 <br />
