CHAPTER 1: WHY A PUBLIC ART MASTER PLAN? Street lights illuminate our path; roads and buses transport our people; public art tells our story to the world. Public art, like other civic infrastructure, is a manifestation of our collective desire to make our community prosperous, desirable, and most importantly enjoyable for all. The Roswell Public Art Master Plan lays the foundation for the future of our public art and by extension prepares us to tell the next chapter of the Roswell story. As a community that visitors and residents seek out from around the Atlanta region and across the State of Georgia, our art is a tool to speak to all those who set foot in Roswell. Our art can tell our residents and visitors that this is a place where we care about who we are, what we do, and where we came from. Our art embodies our brand and activates our Modern Spirit, Southern Soul.

Thanks to the passion, vision, and collaboration of the Roswell Arts Fund and the City of Roswell, our community and its residents have collectively said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;now is the time to put our stake in the ground.â&#x20AC;? The spirit that led to the commissioning of this Public Art Master Plan is reflected in this document. Through this planning process, our community has determined where we are and more importantly, where we want to be. Within this living document you will find plans to grow the depth and breadth of public art in Roswell, which can take our community to new creative heights. You will also find a community character framework that will help ensure future art reflects Roswell character as an amazing place to live, work, and visit. 6

Public art is more than just statues at City Hall. Instead, it can and should be ingrained in the civic imagination of the community by existing on every street in every neighborhood, next to the bike path and along the hiking trail. The people of Roswell are creative, active, and interesting, and public art should reflect the culture and people and be accessible to all. Public art is by us and for us. Art comes from anything that inspires us. Art in Roswell can come from world renowned artists or from the kid next door and should excite and include all those who cross its path. The experience of Art of Roswell should be participatory and interactive, engaging the community no matter its creator. Our art should reflect us.

CHAPTER 2: DEFINING WHO WE ARE WHAT WE ASKED

To kick off the planning process, over 25 stakeholders were asked a series of questions about how public art relates to their sense of place, to the overall identity of Roswell, economic prosperity, business development, education, development, and community engagement. Because the stakeholders were artists, teachers, council members, architects, city staff, historic preservationists, developers, Architecture Review Commissioners, and local business owners, the input received was well-rounded and informative, laying the foundation for the Roswell Public Art Master Planning Process. Each stakeholder was asked about their perception of the Roswell Arts Fund and how the current and future work of the organization has and will impact their city and their neighborhoods. They were asked how they envisioned the growth of the Roswell Arts Fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public art program and what specifically the program needed in order to reach the next level. Roswell residents were then invited to participate in a series of events, which included a local brew night at Gate City Brewing that garnered over 150 attendees. Additional events included pop-up workshops at East Roswell Park Recreation Center and Roswell Area Park Physical Activity Center, collectively drawing over 100 participants, and pop-up workshops at two galleries participating in the First Friday Art Walk. Altogether, these three events drew over 400 participants. We asked participants to consider where new pieces of public art should go and what types of art they would like to see in their community. They also discussed attributes that differentiate Roswell 7

from other Atlanta-area communities, other cities in Georgia, and the rest of the United States. Participants were also invited to sketch their ideas for public art pieces at six different locations.

classes. Approximately 350 students participated in four, hour-long workshops over two days. An online survey was also conducted to capture the ideas of those who were unable to attend any of the scheduled workshops, which drew 900 responses.

In addition to the three workshops, engagement opportunities also took place Collectively, over 1900 Roswell community during regularly scheduled Roswell High members shared their voice about the future School and Centennial High School art of Public Art in Roswell.

WHAT WE HEARD

Throughout the process, several themes emerged. The themes are as follows: 1. Civic leaders and citizens of Roswell share the same vision for the Arts, which is rooted in strategic planning and sound policy. This Public Art Master Plan is a key first step in achieving many of the broad aspirations held by the community. 2. Public Art should be integrated into many facets of the Roswell Community, including parks, schools, infrastructure projects, transportation projects, public works projects, and private development through architecture and design. 3. The community values the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and believes public art should celebrate and showcase Roswellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive past. 4. The community believes Public Art should be used as a public space creator and can combat the notion of Roswell as a bedroom community. Using Public Art to create a destination would significantly increase attachment to place. 5. Public Art provides an opportunity to celebrate and increase diversity in Roswell. 6. Funding the Public Art Program must be a priority in order to continue to compete with neighboring communities. Public art is perceived to be a differentiator.

MISSION OF THE ROSWELL ARTS FUND

VISION FOR THE PUBLIC ART PROGRAM

GUIDING BELIEFS

GOALS

We are a powerful voice and advocate for the arts community, strengthening the scope, quality, and diversity of the arts and striving to fully integrate the arts into the social and economic fabric that is uniquely Roswell.

Roswell is a city that welcomes residents and visitors for its arts experiences, communicates a sense of place, delivers diverse offerings, and attracts entrepreneurs, businesses, and a talented workforce. The Roswell Arts Fund is guided by the following beliefs: • The arts mirror our society, record our history and embody our hopes for the future. • The arts are a fundamental and essential part of our culture, and a time-honored way of learning, knowing, and expressing. • The arts foster social capital, bringing residents together and deepening their connection and commitment to each other and place. • Investment in integrating the arts into education from pre-K through postgraduate education is essential for an engaged citizenry and a well-educated workforce. • The arts should be accessible to all community members. • A culture of philanthropy and sustainable revenue generation is necessary to support and grow the arts. • The arts stimulate economic activity and tourism.

The Roswell Arts Fund’s Public Art Program should define Roswell through honoring its history, celebrating its culture and creating rich experiences for residents and visitors through art.

• Develop a public art program that is unique to Roswell. • Drive economic prosperity, social cohesion and capital through investment in public art. • Increase the understanding and enjoyment of public art by Roswell’s residents. • Invite public participation in and interaction with public spaces. • Provide unusual and challenging employment opportunities for artists. • Encourage collaborations between artists and architects, and artists and engineers. • Support artist participation on design teams for planning public projects. • Encourage a variety of art forms.

CHAPTER 3: ESSENCE OF ROSWELL: COMMUNITY CHARACTER FRAMEWORK As a result of our extensive public engagement process, clear elements of Roswell’s uniqueness emerged. A major goal of the Public Art Master Plan is to develop the program and inspire a new era that embodies the modern spirit and southern soul of Roswell. We’ve come to understand that spirit by asking the people of Roswell who they are and what is important to their community. This framework is intended to provide inspiration and creative constraints for public art that is locally-based and meaningful in a way that resonates with residents. Whether a city-funded project, a new public art installation commissioned by the city, a private donation of art, a developer who wants to invest in Roswell, or residents that want to do something creative with their sidewalk, the following framework becomes a family of components that speak to the core of who Roswell is and who Roswell wants to be. If you are considering making art for our community, you can use this document to become inspired by the Essence of Roswell: Community Character Framework, and add “us” into all of your ideas. 12

Any ideas for art – from traditional pieces placed in our historic neighborhoods to the avant-garde – can be created using our defining characteristics. We want the public art in our city to express the affection and pride we have for our community and to stand out among other cities as a community full of art. Art that speaks to us and art that tells our story to all those we draw near. These six themes comprise the family of components that speak to the identity of Roswell as defined by the locals. Mix and match these elements into your designs. Choose to emphasize one element over another to accentuate what is most important to you and how you see your community. However creatively you interpret the components of the Community Character Framework, allow it to serve as a reflection of Roswell and as an inspiration to your creative process.

CHAPTER 4: PLACE BASED OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS Roswell is one of the Atlanta region’s most beloved cities, A city that is proud of its rich history, small-town character, and promising future. A thriving historic district draws residents and visitors to Canton Street to shop and dine as much on weekdays as on weekends. With over 1000 acres of parks and a prominent location on the Chattahoochee River, Roswell is known as a place of respite for those living in more urban areas of the region as well as for residents. Roswell must look to differentiate itself as a distinct place, by integrating unique art and design into future projects and development. By integrating Roswell’s artistic values into its public spaces and new architecture, Roswell can continue to shape its identity around experience of the place rather than by reputation. These values can be interwoven throughout the 42 square mile community rather than focused on new developments targeted at shoppers.

Through targeting specific uses and locations that residents shared were priorities, public art can begin to be integrated throughout the community. The priorities for investment are as follows:

IN OUR PARKS

In Roswell, our 1000 acres of parks are a place of respite from the vibrant built environment that surrounds us. We have the opportunity to infuse our natural space with the creativity of our community. In the natural environment and solitude of our parks, we can showcase our artistic nature and ensure that our parks are a destination for art lovers and nature buffs alike. There are many benefits to focusing art installations in Roswell parks. Art in our parks can inspire health and activity. Inspiration can also be found in natural adornments, such as our abundance of flora, fauna and wildlife. The cultures who came before us can come alive through art here.

ON OUR TRAILS

Our trails provide connections between our neighborhoods and our natural spaces. We can continue to encourage active living, while also creating interesting places by integrating public art on our trails. We can make our trails into outdoor art galleries that provide our artists with new opportunities.

AS PART OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE

Our infrastructure can become Roswell’s canvas. Whether its manhole covers or bike racks or anything in between, we have the opportunity to inject creativity into our everyday built environment. By transforming our infrastructure into works of art, we can display our creativity in places small and large, while knitting together our community. 28

AS OUR GATEWAYS

As residents and visitors enter our city, our gateways can shout our story to the world. We can help solidify Roswell’s status as a hub for the arts in our region by using public art to define the entry points to the city. It’s essential that gateway art feature unique designs emblematic to Roswell that are visible to motorists and pedestrians. Our borders are closely intertwined with our neighbors and integrating gateway art at these sites will introduce our city as one who cares about art and welcomes people to Roswell. Artist-designed installations may not be appropriate for every gateway, especially where conditions may include short sight lines, crowded sidewalks, multiple competing visual demands and limited space for installations. PRIORITY GATEWAYS • • • • • • • •

Crabapple and Houze Road Holcomb Bridge Road and Hwy 400 Holcomb Bridge at the Chattahoochee River Holcomb Bridge (Woodstock Road at Leita Thompson) Alpharetta Hwy at Upper Hembree Hwy 9 at Riverside Road Old Alabama Road on the East Side Heart of Roswell Park (as the gateway to Canton Street)

ON OUR PRIORITY CORRIDORS

Corridors were selected based on numerous activity nodes, heavy usage and the connection of key gateways that were identified throughout the public engagement activities.

HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD

The Holcomb Bridge Road corridor (Highway 140/92) stretches Northwest across the city from Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek to Woodstock and creates one of two major arteries in Roswell. Holcomb Bridge Road is used to get to the River, on the east side of Roswell, and to get to and from neighboring communities. Boasting a significant amount of businesses, Holcomb Bridge Road sees a high concentration of traffic during peak and off peak hours as GA-400 is only accessed from this heavily traveled road. Holcomb Bridge Road swells from four to ten lanes as it extends through Roswell. Despite the heavy traffic and antipathy for this corridor, many recognize the opportunity Holcomb Bridge presents to transition from a pass through to a destination. There are three gateway opportunities on Holcomb Bridge alone and are as follows: Holcomb Bridge at the Highway 400 interchange, the Chattahoochee River entering Roswell from Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek, and Woodstock Road at Leita Thompson Park. In addition to gateway opportunities, which are intended to be prominent, utility box art as well as median art would have a high impact on the perception of the corridor. Because vehicles are either moving at high speeds on the road or sitting still in traffic, small investments in the medians and at intersections could make traveling on Holcomb Bridge more enjoyable. Public Art placed on this corridor should be designed to be seen at high speeds and should not have substantial detail.

ATLANTA STREET / ALPHARETTA STREET

The Atlanta/Alpharetta Street corridor stretches Northeast from Sandy Springs in the south to Alpharetta in the north, crossing over Holcomb Bridge Road in the center of the city. Much like Holcomb Bridge Road, many businesses are located along this corridor and heavy traffic is concentrated here during peak hours. Highway 9 swells from two to four lanes throughout its span in Roswell. The three gateway opportunities on Highway 9 are Highway 9 at Riverside Drive, Alpharetta Hwy at Upper Hembree Road, and the Heart of Roswell Park, a triangular shaped park at the entry to Canton Street. The Heart of Roswell Park is a gateway to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved commercial corridor and historic center. Despite traffic moving slower on Highway 9 than on Holcomb Bridge Road, small investments at intersections and at select medians are most advantageous for this corridor. Gateways on Highway 9 should be the prominent feature.

CANTON STREET

Canton Street is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved corridor and is the heart of Roswell. Complete with locally owned farm-to-table restaurants, coffee shops, and art galleries featuring local artists alongside nationally recognized artists, Canton Street is the spine of historic Roswell. Just two lanes wide and always busy with visitors and residents, the corridor does not have much room for installations along Canton, but boasts ample opportunity along the alleyways to the east and to the west. The large installations should be geared more toward the pedestrian rather than people in vehicles such as unique pavement treatments, bike racks, street lamps and even stand up pianos. The opportunities here abound. 32

Left: Cyclist, Roswell

RIVERSIDE ROAD

Azalea Drive/Riverside Road spans the banks of the Chattahoochee River creating the southern border of Roswell. Along the north bank of the Chattahoochee River is the Roswell Riverwalk which is used by Roswell residents and Metro Atlanta visitors. On any given day, walkers, runners, and cyclists of all ages spend time on the Riverwalk, and on Sundays, Riverside Road attracts those looking to take a nice, quiet drive. Functional art that engages both active users and vehicular traffic should be utilized along this corridor in order to engage all. Art pieces along the river corridor should complement and engage the majestic natural environment rather than working against its surroundings and overtly standing out.

PRIORITY TYPES SCULPTURE ART

From traditional to cutting edge, sculptures are often the highlight and focal point of public art. They can stand as beacons of civic pride and be showpieces for the City of Roswell that help share our southern soul with the world. The installation of sculptures helps communities celebrate and enhance their gateways, parks, and city centers and can take on many shapes and sizes. Sculptures can play a role in a broader Roswell story or can stand-alone, making an individual statement. Ideal locations in Roswell that could showcase installation of sculptures include our riverwalk, our gateways, and additional prominent sites around the city. 34

Right: Pop Up Chess, Philadelphia

Art can be long lasting or it can be something that is experienced for a short stint. Though temporary art isn’t long-lived, it can have a lasting impact on the community. Like ArtAround Roswell, it can create a sense of surprise and joy in unexpected places, such as construction sites and temporarily empty spaces. Temporary art can be done inexpensively and easily, and it can be a small pop of color or a huge “WOW”. Whatever it is, its short lifespan gives energy to the space and drives excitement among the community. Temporary art invites collaboration, be it with our local schools or community groups, and creates the space for it to evolve with our city and residents.

POP UP | TEMPORARY ART MURALS | MOSAICS Murals and mosaics can transform an empty space into a colorful and stimulating environment. These empty spaces can be found throughout the City begging for innovation and attention. Blank walls exist throughout our city – between our buildings, in our alleys, under our overpasses, on the end of our blocks and on the backs of our buildings. While adding permanent works of art to our collection is important, murals can be semi-permanent and can rotate yearly to allow the exposure of many artists over a short period of time, rather than a few artists over a long period of time. Semi-permanence also allows for integration of other mediums not typically included in mural installation, such as photography. When asked about preferences for new types of public art, the City of Roswell overwhelmingly supported the installation of murals and mosaics.

Performance art is the living and breathing form of public art. It captures our imagination using speech, song, and dance. Performance art can be spontaneous or planned well in advance and requires only passionate performers and an engaged audience. Creating either indoor or outdoor venues within the City of Roswell for performance art allows us to celebrate and connect with our artists from professional troupes to school and community groups. Gallery space allows a community to come together to celebrate its art and artists. It can be temporary or permanent and showcase one artist or many.

PERFORMANCE | GALLERY SPACE

SITE-SPECIFIC ART Site-specific art is created to enhance and celebrate its surroundings in which an artist considers the site first before anything else. Site-specific art uses the surroundings to enrich the experience. It can help to tell the story of location, or it can simply exist to elevate the site. Locations in Roswell in which site-specific art could be installed include our many trails, our parks, and our historic town square.

Because the City of Roswell is always improving the public realm with updated infrastructure that citizens use daily, the city has the unique opportunity to implement “Roswell specific” designs in place of otherwise ordinary pieces of infrastructure. Integrating our cultural values into our infrastructure can be affordable and create a major visual impact. COMMUNITY RANKED PREFERENCES The following list of project types is ranked by community preference. 1. Murals | Mosaics 2. Functional Art 3. Pop-up | Temporary 4. Site-Specific 5. Sculpture 6. Performance | Gallery Space

Left: Ballet Dancer, Columbus, Ohio

Functional art can be as simple as the creation and implementation of a “Roswell crosswalk” or as complex as the production and replacement of all existing light poles to “Roswell light poles”. Other options for functional art installations include bike racks, benches, signal boxes, roundabouts, trash cans, street furniture, transit stops, storm drains, manholes, installations within a public garage, wayfinding, sidewalk and alley treatments, artfully designed tree grates. Even mile markers on leisure trails can be artfully designed to become functional art and exude our local values. With the Roswell Arts Fund leading the effort to integrate Roswell designs into all public projects, developers and private property owners will follow by integrating “Roswell Functional Art” into their properties and developments as well.

CHAPTER 5: CONCEPTUAL PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS The following pages contain four conceptual projects and three conceptual programs, all of which were created as inspiration for future projects and programs. While conceptual projects are tied to specific locations, conceptual programs are not. The following projects and programs are not ranked by priority and should be considered strategically as opportunities present themselves.

CONCEPTUAL PROJECTS

The Public Art Master Plan has identified four conceptual projects that could be installed throughout the city. The specifics of each project are explored on the following pages. Conceptual projects are tied to specific locations and may be recurring or phased in their commission. Concept implementation should not be restricted to the following projects and should be regularly altered and updated as time progresses, priorities change and new possibilities arise. The following projects are not ranked by priority and should be strategically selected as opportunities present themselves. 38

KIT OF PARTS

The following price ranges are based on national best practices and are presented in price range rather than an exact price point. This allows discretion from the Roswell Arts Fund to determine the most effective way to prioritize projects and determine the exact amount of each artist call’s budget. • MURAL EXTERIOR: $5,000 - $50,000 • CROSSWALK: $1,000 - $5,000 • ARTIST DESIGNED BIKE RACK: $5,000 - $10,000 • ARTIST DESIGNED BENCH: $5,000 - $10,000 • ARTIST FENCE OR SCREEN: $1,000 - $5,000.00 • LARGE SCALE SCULPTURE: $100,000 - $200,000 • SMALL SCALE SCULPTURE: $5,000 - $100,000 • TEMPORARY ART FESTIVAL: $10,000 - $20,000 / YEAR • BRIDGE PROJECT $50,000 - $100,000 • INTERACTIVE SCULPTURE: $35,000 - $100,000 • VINYL WRAP: $350 - $1,000

PROJECT 1: ROSWELL GATEWAYS SITE DESCRIPTION

The lush landscape of Roswell is unparalleled in the Atlanta region. The natural environment paired with our world class food scene drives residents, businesses, and tourists to our community. Though this is a powerful image, it does not alone communicate the story of Roswell. To make our culture and values known to all those who enter our community, we can fortify the entry points to our city with pieces of art that reflect our civic identity. Here, art should effectively tell our story. It should strengthen and showcase our identity to firsttime visitors and lifelong residents alike. When a person enters our community, they should know that they have arrived and should know who we are and what we care about. Finally, it should be evident that this place is loved.

Through on-the-ground surveying and public outreach, we identified several gateways that are priority for public art. They are as follows and are in no particular order: • Hwy 120 (Roswell Road) crossing Willeo Creek in the median or over the roadway • Crabapple and Houze Road • Holcomb Bridge Road and Hwy 400 • Holcomb Bridge at the Chattahoochee River • Holcomb Bridge (Woodstock Road at Leita Thompson) • Alpharetta Hwy at Upper Hembree • Hwy 9 at Riverside Road • Old Alabama Road on the East Side • Heart of Roswell Park (as the gateway to Canton Street) • New Boardwalk

PROJECT CONCEPT

The community consistently noted the need to differentiate itself from its neighbors as a place for the Arts. A call for each gateway location could be developed as funding became available. From a mural on the side of a building to a large sculpture, these gateways may vary depending on the site. In addition, any developments occurring at or near gateway sites can incorporate public art into the design of the development and become a gateway icon purely based on location.

FUNDING POSSIBILITIES

Roswell Public Art Fund â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Major developments taking place near the above gateways may develop their public art programming to include gateways for the City and can be negotiated as conditions of approval.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

Encourage proposed developments within gateway locations to integrate art into their design, so their development becomes a gateway to Roswell.

PROJECT 2: ART AND SOUL RIVERWALK 42

Left: Found Objects Sculpture, Louisville, Kentucky

SITE DESCRIPTION

The Roswell Riverwalk is a seven-mile greenway along the Chattahoochee River. Designated trails and boardwalks take visitors along the river, through the riparian vegetation and connect to the Chattahoochee Nature Center, Don White and Azalea Parks.

PROJECT CONCEPT

The Roswell Riverwalk is used by residents from all over the Atlanta Region as a major recreational site for cyclists and pedestrians. Workshop participants spoke of the Riverwalk as a treasured place and a rare opportunity in the region to find respite from everyday life. A series of delightful art interventions found along the pathway might serve as a set of metaphorical â&#x20AC;&#x153;bread crumbsâ&#x20AC;?, perhaps utilizing unique opportunities for mural installations. As a result, the art would complement new wayfinding and enhance both the utility and aesthetics of the Greenway. Through activations of multi-media, artist-designed functional pieces, and various other unique art experiences, the Project can create a pleasant and engaging experience and thus enhance the quality of life in Roswell on its most treasured trail.

OPPORTUNITIES

•

Continuous Crosswalks: The crosswalks used by cyclists and pedestrians from adjacent areas could all be united in design or theme and may draw users to the Riverwalk. Roswell Bike Racks: As a destination for cyclists and pedestrians, bike racks would be an asset to the Riverwalk. A singular Bike Racks design can be developed by an artist and placed along the Riverwalk to create a unified connection. Additionally, one or several artists can develop a series of Bike Racks creating an eclectic collection. Private Property Participation: Businesses adjacent to the Riverwalk may be given the opportunity to purchase artist-designed bike racks installed outside of their place of business in order to raise money for further public art and programming opportunities. Creative Bollards: Any bollards on the path may be re-envisioned by an artist or artists. Wildlife Installations: Sculptures or other installations along the Riverwalk that celebrate the wildlife found in and around the

•

Chattahoochee River. Each installation may share information about the wildlife in the area and the importance of conservation. Creative Lighting: All paths have lighting, but rarely is lighting designed by an artist. Smart lighting along the riverwalk can be designed by an artist that is triggered by movement and is conscious of light pollution. Calls for this installation may focus on sustainability themes, wildlife, and historic uses of the river. Roswell Benches: Much like the Roswell Bike Racks, one or several artists can create one or more designs to artfully incorporate benches along the Riverwalk. These would engage both resting visitors up close and passersbys from a distance. Water Related Installations: There are many forms that water based installations can take along the trails and boardwalk. Artists may design features that directly engage with the river or take more abstract approaches to water related themes.

FUNDING POSSIBILITIES NEA Our Town Grant Artplace America Grant

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

The Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Department and the Roswell Arts Fund should collaborate on incorporating artistic elements throughout the Riverwalk that are least obtrusive to the natural beauty the greenway presents. Materials used must be environmentally friendly and not harmful to the ecosystem.

PROJECT COST

The City of Roswell is looking to revitalize public spaces and transform them into places where people can stroll, shop, and dine. Roswellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East and West Alleys parallel to Canton Street lend themselves perfectly to this exciting vision and are each complete with non-primary facades offering ample space for murals. The alleyways will each receive new pavement treatments, crosswalks, and some design options that will allow for closure of Canton for sanctioned activities.

PROJECT CONCEPT

The Roswell East-West Alleyway plan, proposed in 2016 offers many opportunities for public art programming, many of which are functional art elements. Canton Street has a historic design featuring a narrow street with little to no setback of the buildings and no space for increased items in the right of way. However, the alleyways offer a unique opportunity to incorporate art into the Canton Street area, which will aid in maintaining the historic character of the street without altering primary facades of the historic buildings. Calls for artists could be developed for teams of artists to take on one East or West alleyway as a unique public space or for the team to take on both alleys as one public space. Functional 46

elements should be mixed and matched to create a unique alleyway program for Roswell that is not easily replicated in other communities. As Canton Street is one of Roswellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved locations for residents and visitors alike, opportunities for public art programming abound.

OPPORTUNITIES •

•

• •

Crosswalks: Proposed crosswalks on Canton at East Alley and continuously throughout Canton Street could be designed by an artist or number of artists. These creative crosswalks can add a splash of color or interest, supporting the character of the historic corridor without detracting from it. Paver Treatments: Utilities will be buried in both the East and West Alley after which asphalt will be replaced with pavers. An artist or artist team can develop an artistic strategy for each alley, incorporating unique paver programming to pursue a greater vision or theme for the Alley. Artist-Designed Pedestrian Lighting: While lighting is necessary for safety, it does not have to lack excitement and intrigue. Lighting can be designed with the rest of the artist team to fulfill the theme of the alley. Murals: The backs of buildings provide a large opportunity for a splash of color or a themed message. Waste Management Treatment: Many alleys are designed to handle the uses of the buildings they serve and thusly serve as a means of waste disposal and delivery load in. Close attention should be paid to the screening of the waste management locations as dumpsters can be artistically programmed into the greater public space.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

Coordination with Public Works to incorporate artist designed elements into the final construction documents may be required. Many elements that can be designed by an artist may already be accounted for in the budget. These items should be netted out to show the additional cost for artist integration.

PROJECT COST

PROJECT 4: ART IN MEDIANS SITE DESCRIPTION

Medians are located on major arterials throughout the City and provide a visual opportunity for two-way traffic on many vehicular corridors. Medians are often either landscaped to provide visually stimulating entryways to communities or installed using primarily concrete. Priority roadways include: Holcomb Bridge Road and Atlanta Street / Alpharetta Street (Highway 9).

PROJECT CONCEPT

Use existing and proposed median sites to develop public art creating gateways on vehicular corridors. Tall and skinny sculptures, mobiles, or conversely, small and wide sculptures could be repeated along a median to unify a corridor.

OPPORTUNITIES â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

Median installations could enhance Holcomb Bridge Road and create continuity throughout the corridor for those entering from GA-400 and traveling through the spine of the city. Small and low cost artwork to unify the Atlanta Street / Alpharetta Street (Highway 9) corridor as it is more narrow than Holcomb Bridge Road. Simple installations that create a splash of color would draw the eye.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

Encroachment permits from Georgia Department Of Transportation (GDOT) may be required for installation of art in the medians. Additionally or alternately, an update to the maintenance agreement for Holcomb Bridge Road and Atlanta Street / Alpharetta Street (Highway 9) may be required from GDOT.

PROJECT COST

CONCEPTUAL PROGRAMS

The Public Art Master Plan has identified three conceptual programs to be implemented throughout the city. The specifics of each program are explored on the following pages. Conceptual programs are not tied to specific locations and may be recurring or phased in their commission. The following programs are not ranked by priority and should be strategically selected as opportunities present themselves.

PROGRAM 1: FUNCTIONAL ART PROGRAM PROGRAM CONCEPT

Functional Art designed by artists is a simple and impactful way of introducing art into the public realm. Location options range from parks and open spaces to sidewalks, greenways, right-of-ways and other public spaces. Numerous examples throughout this plan describe opportunities for crosswalk projects intended to be used as pilot projects in order to test out a functional art program. Additional short-term opportunities include adding artist-designed benches along the Riverwalk, bike racks, play structures, and other projects listed below. This conceptual program will solidify the Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in ensuring art is woven into even the most utilitarian of things. It must be noted that the Roswell Arts Fund should have purview over each of these art interventions. Inclusion in future TSPLOST programs may provide opportunities for a Functional Art program.

Above: Pittsburgh Bike Rack Program Right: Toronto Bike Rack Program

OPTIONS • • •

Program to target gateway locations. Program to target just one or two types of infrastructure. Program to target Riverwalk as part of Project 1. This presents an opportunity to test commission prior to broader utilization citywide.

FUNDING POSSIBILITIES

Combinations of Public Art funds, General Fund, and Major Maintenance funds to leverage investments

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

The Roswell Arts Fund will need to assess baseline costs of functional art items and determine the additional cost of the artist commission. In addition, city staff will need to determine if the Public Art Program will cover maintenance of the functional art items, or if the works will be considered temporary and removed after a set amount of time. Roswell Arts Fund review and integration with the Department of Transportation bid process is necessary.

PROJECT COST

See cost estimates for artist-designed bike racks, crosswalks and benches for this Conceptual Program’s potential costs.

PROGRAM 2: ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM PROGRAM CONCEPT

The Roswell Artist in Residence Program can define the role of the artist working within government as this program would be a pioneer program in the region. Incorporation of the artist would begin in the daily and long-term workings of the city to create and support social and civic practices through an integrative partnership between the City of Roswell and the Roswell Arts Fund. The purpose of the program is to create art out of the systems of the city. The artist in residence would advise on major city initiatives and lead their own projects at the city level.

OPTIONS • •

Dedicated Workspace: The selected artist should have dedicated workspace within City Hall in order to freely collaborate across city departments. A Seat at the Table: The artist in residence should play an integral role in nearly every department’s projects including Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs, Planning, Public works, and Community Development. Inclusion in these discussions ensures that art is considered essential to city activity even in the most mundane of things such as sidewalk maintenance and capital projects.

FUNDING POSSIBILITIES

The Roswell Arts Fund may provide activation funds for administrative needs within the program. In the future, a part-time staff position at the city level may be created and funded by the general fund.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

A part-time staff position will require minimal administrative work as well as a dedicated department to house the artist in residence.

PROGRAM COST

The program will cost a part-time salary. 52

PROGRAM CONCEPT

PROGRAM 3: ROSWELL BOX ART

Utility Boxes throughout the city offer large flat surfaces without penetrations perfect for small mural installations. In addition to the multitude of options for wide distribution, there is a significant interest in murals from the public and local business community. Develop partnerships with local schools who have students interested in participating in the Public Art Program. Murals can be directly painted onto the utility box or can be applied using heat and vinyl. A Vinyl wrap will encourage a variety of mediums to be used including student taken photographs, 3D pieces and computer graphics. This program can be a rotating program that changes every two to four years.

OPTIONS •

• •

Student Involvement: Partner with the local high schools to have students go through an RFP process administered by the Roswell Arts Fund. Students can submit designs to be placed on Utility Boxes throughout the city, which can include 3D, 2D, photographs, and computer graphic work to encourage a diverse group of students to participate. Temporary Installations: The life of each box should be short (between 2-4 years) as weather and time take a toll on the wraps. The temporary nature of the boxes also allows more students to participate in the project on a rotating basis. Themed Installations: The call can be such so that specific pockets of Roswell’s utility boxes are grouped by theme. This will generate great interest from the community and could become an activity for individuals and families.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

Crowdsourcing, city capital budget, grant opportunities to incorporate student artwork, and the Public Art Fund are all funding possibilities.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

The Department of Transportation’s cooperation throughout the application of the vinyl wraps onto the utility boxes. A selection panel administered through the Roswell Arts Fund.

CHAPTER 6: PRIORITY ACTION PLAN The implementation of this plan will require collaboration on a broad scale. As the implementation leader, the Roswell Arts Fund, serving as the Public Art Program Manager, will collaborate with city staff and other critical decisionmaking entities to ensure clear and consistent interpretation of the plan throughout implementation. Left: SS Sentinal, Rollin Karg Right: Canton Street at sundown

OUR ROLES ROSWELL ARTS FUND The Roswell Arts Fund will continue their efforts in ensuring access to high-quality art throughout the city by advising the City of Roswell and acting on behalf of the community on the selection of public art. The Roswell Arts Fund will be the key leader in implementing this plan through community outreach, continued leadership and strategic action. In addition, the Fund should be tasked with continued advocacy and fundraising on behalf of public art in Roswell. CITY OF ROSWELL As Roswell continues to be one of the most desired communities to start and grow businesses in the Atlanta Metro Area, city staff should integrate artistic elements into their typical work. This may be as varied as economic development projects or infrastructure designed to reflect the culture and history of Roswell. CITY COUNCIL In order to carry on the legacy of supporting public art in Roswell, the City Council must continue to identify funding and policy improvements for the Public Art Program. City Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foresight and leadership will continue to encourage the development of public art in the city. 57

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT The department, with the support of the Roswell Arts Fund, will continue to be the liaison between the city government and the developers. This department must also lobby for the inclusion of art or artistic infrastructure in Public Works projects and real estate developments at the conceptual stage of the process. Most importantly, this department must encourage Roswell-centric art and design throughout the community. TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENTS The Transportation and Public Works Departments are significant partners in the installation of public art throughout the public sphere of Roswell. The significance is evident in the Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibilities such as the implementation of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure projects, providing structural review of exterior installations, and in permitting works that encroach on the Public Right of Way. As the Master Plan suggests artist opportunities (functional infrastructure, medians and civic construction sites as well as site specific improvement sites), the Transportation Department and Public Works Department are vital partners in the expansion of public art as a mitigation of urban living in the most banal of locations. RECREATION, PARKS, HISTORIC AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT The parks of Roswell provide a significant opportunity to display public art accessible to the community. The Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Department will be tasked with integrating public art into plans for future expansion or revitalization as well as identifying future locations for public art. Residents of Roswell are very engaged with their park system for recreation and many art, dance, and 58

theatrical classes and programs. The Parks Department should continue to look at creative ways to expand arts classes and programming. Additionally, bike and other recreation trails are a focal point that residents believe should display public art. Therefore, the Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Department will be tasked with implementing that vision. LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY As the backbone and fuel of the economy in Roswell, small businesses are a huge part of Roswell residents’ daily lives. By partnering with small businesses, the Roswell Arts Fund can fund important programming or public art pieces, while engaging returning customers and frequent patrons of small businesses. Many of these opportunities can be small-scale projects that encourage interaction with the business and reorient participants’ thought processes around the arts. LOCAL SCHOOLS The Roswell Area Schools have an opportunity to inject youthful energy into the Roswell Public Art Program. Art curriculum must also be encouraged and included in the education system in local schools. The Roswell Arts Fund has a potential role to fund artists in the schools through community grants and should prioritize the display of the art of Roswell’s young people in order to embody the community in full. Art commissioned by the Roswell Arts Fund may include youth in the design or the implementation of the works. Collaboration between public and private schools may offer unique opportunities as well. 59

Therefore, the Public Art Fund will amount to one and one half percent (1.5%) of the building development cost. 7.11 Public Art Fund Acquisition Account. A portion of the funds received (equal to one and one half [1.5%] of the building development costs) for a municipal development project shall be set aside for acquisition of publicly accessible art. 7.111 Permissible Expenditures. Acquisition Fund expenditures may include, but are not limited to: (a) The cost of the artwork and its installation; (b) Identification plaques and labels; (c) Waterworks, electrical and mechanical devices and equipment which are an integral part of the artwork; (d) Frames, mattes, and single pedestals necessary for the proper presentation of the artwork; (e) Walls, bases, pools, or other architectural elements on or in which the artwork are placed or affixed and which, in the opinion of the Roswell Arts Fund are an integral part of and contribute to the aesthetic and structural support of the artwork; and (f) Fire retardant treatments (when required).

7.112 Inappropriate Expenditures. Acquisition Fund Expenditures that would not be appropriate include, but are not limited to: (a) Reproductions by mechanical or other means of original artwork (however, limited editions controlled by the artist, or original prints, cast sculpture, photographs, may be included); (b) Decorative ornamental or functional elements which are designed by the architect or consultants engaged by the architect; (c) Those elements generally considered to be components of the landscape architectural design, vegetative materials, pool(s), paths, benches, receptacle, fixtures, planters, etc., except when designed by artists; (d) Art objects which are mass produced or of standard design, such as playground sculpture or fountains; directional or other functional elements; such as signing, color coding, maps, etc., except when designed by artists; (e) Walls, bases, pools, or other architectural elements on or in which the artwork is placed or affixed, (f) Preparation of the site necessary to receive the artwork; electrical, water, or mechanical service for activation of the artwork; (g) Exhibitions and educational programs relative to the artwork before or after installation (lighting, registration, dedication, unveiling, insurance, security, and publicity or publications); and (h) Consultant or Designer costs related to public art projects. 7.113 Nothing shall preclude gifts, grants, bequests, donations or other cash received by the Roswell City Council for art purposes (such as contributions referenced in Section 5 of the Private Development Guidelines of the Public Art Program) being placed in a separate fund. Specific components or activities for use of this fund shall include: 1) temporary and permanent artwork and events; 2) producing art exhibitions; 3) cultural programming by organizations; 4) events to further artist participation in Public Art program; 5) performing arts program.

7.12 Public Art Fund Administrative Account A portion of the funds received (equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) of the building development costs) for a municipal development project shall be set aside for administration of the Public Art Program, and for maintenance costs of the artwork for municipal developments. 8. INSTALLATION OF ARTWORK 8.1 On-site activity in connection with the artwork installation shall be coordinated by the department or developer having jurisdiction over the site and/or construction. 8.2 So far as practical, in the event repair of a work is required, the City shall make reasonable attempts to contact the responsible artist, who shall be given the opportunity to do that work for a reasonable fee and on reasonable terms. In the event the artist refuses to make that repair for such a fee and on such terms, the department may proceed to solicit proposals from conservators. Anyone who performs the repair work (including the artist) is to proceed on a reasonable schedule. If emergency repairs are necessary for safety reasons or in order to prevent loss of or damage to a work, such repairs shall not be deemed to constitute an artistic alteration and repair opportunity need not go the artist first. 8.3 Artwork may be relocated only as approved by the Roswell Arts Fund. 9. OWNERSHIP/SALES 9.1 The title to all artwork commissioned or purchased by the City of Roswell shall be transferred to the City of Roswell.

ROSWELL PUBLIC ART PROGRAM POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR MAINTENANCE INTRODUCTION The Roswell Public Art Maintenance Program uses the Public Art Administrative Account monies appropriated through the Public Art Ordinance for Municipal Development. This account is funded by monies allocated in municipal projects and is equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) of a municipal building cost. The Public Art Maintenance Program shall be administered by the City of Roswell in collaboration with the Roswell Arts Fund. The Program addresses: • Accessioning and inventorying the City’s collection of public art • Conducting a semi-annual Survey and Condition Assessments of all work in the collection, both historic and contemporary work; • Preparing a semi-annual Public Art Maintenance Plan • Overseeing routine maintenance and special conservation treatment of the City’s public art collection. Every five years, the Roswell Arts Fund will conduct an assessment of the condition of all public art with a qualified professional conservator and develop a prioritized list of works in need of conservation or maintenance. This list will be the basis of the semi-annual Public Art Maintenance Plan. Under this plan, trained City maintenance staff, with the approval and direction of the Roswell Arts Fund, may carry out routine maintenance. For work in need of a higher level of maintenance, specialized care, or conservation treatment, the Program will utilize the maintenance funds available under the Ordinance held in the Public Art Administrative Account. PROCEDURES PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC ART MAINTENANCE PROGRAM MAINTENANCE PLAN Accessioning, maintenance and care of public art begins before an artwork is created. During the design phase or when a donation is initiated, the City, artist or sponsor will review and analyze their design proposal and advise on maintenance and operations of the art work.

On behalf of the City, artist, or sponsor, the appropriate party will submit a Maintenance Plan to the City of Roswell and the Roswell Arts Fund, who will review and then catalogue any tasks associated with maintenance of the art work. The Maintenance Plan will enable the City in collaboration with the Roswell Arts Fund to: • Evaluate the quality and sustainability of the proposed or existing public artwork; • Establish maintenance requirements, assign schedules, and identify potential costs; and • Determine if the City of Roswell should accept or decline the design proposal and/or public artwork. To produce the Maintenance Plan, the artist should examine and render an opinion on the following: • Durability • Type and integrity of materials • Construction/fabrication technique • Internal supports, anchoring and joining, and footings • Landscaping • Vulnerable and delicate elements • Drainage of artwork • Potentially dangerous elements • Security • Location • Environment • Whether the design encourages/discourages interaction • Effects of skateboarding, graffiti, and any other potentially damaging activates The Maintenance Plan will include: • A record of the artist’s intentions for the work of art • Recommendations to mitigate potential problems discovered during the examination • Notes about how the artist would like the work of art to age • An itemization of long-range considerations and care, highlighting maintenance and the anticipated needs for periodic conservation treatment or repairs • Identification of the life span of the artwork and a prognosis of its durability in consideration of that life span 81

LIFE SPAN OF ARTWORK This life span shall be selected from one of three categories: 1. Temporary: 0-5 years 2. Midterm: 5-25 years 3. Longterm: 25+ years The artwork may also be identified as site-integrated, or part of the site and/or the architecture, as appropriate. UTILIZATION OF THE MAINTENANCE PLAN The Maintenance Plan will be used for the following: • Advise Roswell Arts Fund, City department directors and others who must review and approve design proposals or accept or decline donated public artwork • Troubleshoot the production of construction drawings, the fabrication of the artwork, and the preparation of the site • Follow-up on the artist’s recommendations • Refer to during the Post-Fabrication/Installation Inspection in order to prepare a final report and a punch-list to complete the project The City of Roswell and the Roswell Arts Fund, professional conservators, and public artists shall strive to address the recommendations in the Maintenance Plan without unduly interfering with the aesthetic intent of the proposed public art. PROCEDURES DURING THE PUBLIC ART MAINTENANCE PROGRAM The Public Art Maintenance Program becomes actively involved with the Capital Project’s public artwork and the Roswell Arts Fund, at the end of the Commission Phase. The City of Roswell, in collaboration with the Roswell Arts Fund, participates in the Post-Fabrication Inspection and/or Post-Installation Inspection that is led by the Roswell Arts Fund.

POST FABRICATION/INSTALLATION INSPECTION The Post-Fabrication/Installation Inspection will be based upon and follow-up on the Maintenance Plan that was carried out during the design phase. It will include the following: • Ensures that recommendations made in the Maintenance Plan Report and during fabrication were followed. • Confirms that the artwork is executed as proposed and agreed upon. • Confirms that there are no missing or incomplete elements. • Establishes that materials quality and stability are acceptable. • Establishes that fabrication quality and stability are acceptable. • Confirms that installation is stable and secure. • Confirms that stainless steel is fully and properly passivated. • Confirms that protective coatings have been applied, if required. • Ensures that warranties for electronic and other media are submitted, as necessary. • Identifies any remaining vulnerabilities. • Confirms no new damage resulting from installation process. • Ensures that the maintenance and operations plan is accurate; amend as needed. • Confirms that the plaque/public notice meets program guidelines and is properly installed.

ROSWELL PUBLIC ART PROGRAM DONATION OF PUBLIC ART PROCEDURES All public art donated to the City of Roswell (City) must be accompanied by a plan to fund and deliver ongoing maintenance. Otherwise, the resolution accepting the public art must identify how maintenance of the donated public art will be funded. This requirement meets Georgia Municipal Code sec. 36-64-6 (2015) that states: “A park or recreation board or other authority in which is vested the power to provide, establish, maintain, and conduct a recreation program may accept any grant or devise of real estate or any gift or bequest of money or other personal property or any donation, the principal or income of which is to be applied for either temporary or permanent use for playgrounds or recreation purposes. If the acceptance thereof for such purposes will subject the county or municipality to additional expense for improvements, maintenance, or renewal, the acceptance of any grant or devise of real estate shall be subject to the approval of the governing body of the county or municipality. Money received for such purposes, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the gift or bequest, shall be deposited with the treasurer of the county or municipality to the account of the recreation board or commission or other body having charge of such work or shall be deposited directly with the recreation board; it shall be withdrawn and paid out by such body in the same manner as money appropriated for recreation purposes.” DONATION REQUIREMENTS The City will consider donations on the following basis: • The donation contributes to and enhances the City’s public art collection. • Meets a high standard of quality and is appropriate and meaningful to the community. • Follows required City procedures including the submission of a Donation Proposal and a Maintenance Plan.

GENERAL IDEAS

•

Overpasses/bridges in Roswell would look great with murals reflecting our history and nature.

I would like to see a modern structure designed with the direction of the sun, so as the sun moves across the sky a new image, famous quote, or historical factoid is highlighted for people to observe.

•

Host an art competition within “Roswell, Only” high schools for the designs of street benches! Choose 1 winner each year, over 5 years, and then we have 5 ‘standard’ long-term use benches for sitting in various areas of the City: parks, corners, etc.

•

Street performers throughout the City.

•

Performing Arts facility.

•

Incorporate history into our art.
