The plan is intended to articulate a ten-year vision for public art in Moscow, and outline a plan for desired types of art and locations for public art placement. In addition to Moscow’s fine business and educational reputation, the City’s arts community has gained national attention. The Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival, Festival Dance, Idaho Repertory Theatre, Renaissance Fair, Rendezvous in the Park, Artwalk and the Prichard Art Gallery are reasons why Moscow is known as the “Heart of the Arts.” The Public Art Master Plan provides an understanding of the importance of public art within our community (the aes- thetic, economic, and cultural benefits) and serves as a road map for all future decisions related to public art in Moscow. 1.1 What is Public Art Public art has the power to energize public spaces, promote community engagement and trans- form everyday places into attractive and meaningful environments. Public art can tower fifty feet high or call attention to the paving beneath your feet. Its shape can be abstract or realistic (or both), and it can take a wide range of forms. It may be cast, carved, built, assembled, or painted, and can include murals, sculptures, memorials, integrated architectural or landscape architectural work, community art, digital art, and even performances or festivals. It can be site specific, meaning it is created in response to the place and community in which it resides, or it can stand in contrast to its surroundings. Whatever the form, public art instills meaning—a greater sense of identity and understanding of where we live, work and visit. Public art is most successful when it is connected with the community in some way—through its history, culture, people, values or natural landscape. Whether the references are literal, met- aphoric or abstract, the connection the artwork has to a place promotes a dialogue about the City’s heritage and cultural values, and reinforces the unique civic identity of the community. “Public art is about the free field, the play of creative vision.” Patricia Phillips ---PAGE BREAK--- 6 A Master Plan for Moscow 1.2 Why Public Art Public art is an important feature within a com- munity; it’s part of our public history, part of our evolving culture and our collective memory. It reflects and reveals our society and adds meaning to our cities. Public art is intended to attract atten- tion and in doing so it provides aesthetic beauty, cultural interpretation, education, inspiration, and general improvement to the urban environ- ment. Public art can also be a highly cost-effective way of driving economic revitalization in urban areas and has a significant effect on a community’s sense of place. The Knight Foundation’s Soul of the Community study1 surveyed approximately 43,000 people in 26 cities and found that social of- ferings ranked higher than education, safety, and the local economy as a “driver of attachment” to a place. Public art contributes positively to a com- munity’s social offerings—the social infrastructure that allows residents to enjoy their commu- nity together such as openness, welcomeness and aesthetics (parks and green spaces)—and therefore can increase the overall personal satisfaction and attachment to a place. The aesthet- ic benefit and positive impact public art has on communities is essential for creating vibrant and enjoyable public spaces. 1The Knight Foundation’s Soul of the Community Study explored how residents feel about their communities. The three-year study focused on the emotional side of the connection between residents and their communities, examining factors corelated with loyalty to and passionate feelings about place.

Moscow’s Public Art Master plan is a living document that will serve to educate the community regarding the benefits and importance of public art in a community. This plan documents existing public art works in Moscow, and serves as a guide for organizing and prioritizing future public art installations. Additionally, the Moscow Public Art Master Plan identifies capital and operational funding needs for a long-term, sustainable public art program. 1.4 Types of Public Art The following is a general representation of the various types of public art. These categories are not mutually exclusive. Functional: The primary purpose of this type of art project is functional or utilitarian, and serves a purpose in the public realm. The public art piece could be an embellishment of an object or a functional and artistic piece created entirely by the artist. Examples of functional public art include benches, bicycle racks, bus shelters, fences, and gates. Object (or sculpture): A freestanding art project, physically independent of other site elements, is called object or sculpture art. Object art can consist of a wide variety of materials, including metals, wood, concrete, fiberglass, landscape, glass, and lighting elements. Integrated: Art projects that are fully incorporated into the design of a larger project are referred to as integrated art. The process is always collaborative; artists work with architects, engineers, and other design professionals to create and install a work of art. Examples include bridges, retaining walls, walkways and buildings. Interpretive: Public art with the primary purpose of educating the public is referred to as being interpreta- tive. The artwork might be self-explanatory or require a supplemental panel of facts explaining the project. Figure 6: Example of functional art. Glass etching on bus shelter in Moscow. ---PAGE BREAK--- 8 A Master Plan for Moscow Monument: This is the most traditional type of public art. Monuments are typically cast in or sculpted from granite, bronze, or marble. The earliest forms of public art in the United States include monuments depicting war heroes and respected civic and charitable leaders. Murals: Murals are painted or applied to walls. While some murals are painted directly onto walls, others are prepared in studio and later applied to walls. The oldest murals took the form of etchings and paintings in prehistoric caves. Today’s murals are similar to prehistoric paintings in that they both have messages that are unique to the locale. Sensory Art: This type of art project can appeal to the visual, auditory, or touch senses, or to a combination of these. The most common example is a water fountain, which has auditory and visual features that enliven a space. More recently, lighting has been popular as a public art form in urban public spaces. Art projects that incorporate sound are also popular in urban public spaces and parks. Sensory public art is often a crowd pleaser and is helpful for drawing people to a particular area. Digital: Digital public art is a technologically based public art form where technology becomes an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process. The artist’s tool can be a computer, computerized camera or video projector and examples of digital art include videos projected on the exterior walls of buildings and augmented reality, which is art is viewed on a device with augmented themes such as sound, GPS, or visuals that are integrated into the real world view. Temporary: Art projects shown for a specified period of time are temporary projects. Tempo- rary art projects can be in virtually any form. The advantage of temporary art is that it creates pos- sibilities for experimentation without a long-term obligation, and for topics or forms that are con- temporary and might not hold up well over time. Temporary projects also allow for revolving pieces of artwork, which creates a dynamic place and en- courages return visits with each new installation. Serial art: Serial, or series, art projects are a col- lection of artworks that reflect meaning through their relationship to one other. Series art projects can be installed in succession, delineating paths and borders, or can be presented as an installation of multiple objects. Figure 7: Example of temporary art.

Understanding Moscow within this context, therefore, is the first step in the process of creating and reviewing unique works of art that are community based and site specific. Heritage, local culture, and community values are essential to defining community character and infusing place with meaning and identity. Identifying these themes challenges artists and policymakers to remember, celebrate, and reinvent community identity. Placing public art in highly visible lo- cations in the public sphere promises exposure to many people who can learn from and discuss the piece and its context. 2.1 City of Moscow History Moscow’s historic roots are planted in agriculture. The first permanent settlers of the area found that their pigs thrived from feeding on the roots of the flowering Camas bulb. For this reason the area was dubbed “Hog Heaven” for a time. When the first post office was granted to the settlement in 1873 it was called “Paradise” but by 1876 the postal service requested a name change. Samuel Miles Neff is accredited with choosing the name of Moscow. Moscow’s beginnings were humble, but the community prospered due to a series of events that allowed the community to develop. In 1876, four homesteaders whose claims met at the corner of Sixth and Main Streets agreed to each donate 30 acres of land to establish a city center for the community. Almon Asbury Lieuallen owned the northwest portion, James Deakin the southwest, Henry McGregor the southeast, and John Russell the northeast. The namesakes of each founder may be found to this day in the street names, plats, and neighborhood identi- ties of each quadrant. Figure 8: University of Idaho Administration Building, circa 1910. ---PAGE BREAK--- 10 A Master Plan for Moscow Moscow was incorporated on July 12, 1887. By the following year Moscow had become the largest city in Nez Perce County and requested to become the county seat. When that failed, Representative Fred Dubois pushed a bill through the United States Congress to carve out Latah County from the northern part of Nez Perce County, thus creating the only county formed by an act of Congress, and Moscow was named the county seat. Around the same time two other great movements were underway: Moscow was lobbying to become the site for Idaho’s land grant college, and Congress was preparing to sever the Idaho panhandle from the rest of the territory and attach it to Washington. When then-gover- nor Edward A. Stevenson protested the redistricting, northern residents were understandably further angered so as a gesture of peace to the north, the 1889 territorial legislature designated Moscow as the location for the public university, the University of Idaho. Council Bill 20, known as the University’s charter, was signed into law on January 30, 1889, and became a part of the state constitution when Idaho was admitted to the Union in 1890. 2.2 Moscow Today Since its inception, the University of Idaho has continued to expand its educational offerings as a premier research and educational institution and has formed the foundation of the community. As a result, Moscow has blossomed into the unique and vibrant community it is today. Moscow is currently home to more than 23,000 residents and students. The area boasts a highly skilled and educated work force employed by Moscow’s many thriving businesses and the University of Idaho. Mer- chants offer an extensive selection of quality products and services, and art galleries, movie theaters, coffee Figure 9: (top) Moscow ARTWALK event. Figure 10: (bottom) Farmers Market, AlisonMeyerPhotography.com ---PAGE BREAK--- 11 Public Art shops and restaurants line the streets of Moscow’s vibrant downtown. The friendly Moscow community comes together for multiple events that give Moscow recognition for its dedica- tion to the arts, including the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival, Moscow ARTWALK, Fresh Aire Concert Series, Third Street Gallery, Farmers Market, Renaissance Fair, and the Latah County Fair. Moscow has been recognized nationally in a variety of publications, including a feature in National Geographic magazine, being named one of the nation’s five best places to live among college towns in Men’s Journal and a rating for the best place to raise children in Idaho by Bloomsberg Businessweek. 2.3 Moscow Arts Commission History The Moscow Arts Commission was established on October 2, 1978. The 12-member Commis- sion is a policymaking and advisory commission that works with the City of Moscow Arts De- partment staff on behalf of the Mayor and Council of the City of Moscow. The mission of the Moscow Arts Commission is to enrich the life of the community by celebrating and cultivating the arts. The Arts Commission fulfills its mission by facilitating Moscow’s public art program as outlined within the City of Moscow Public Art Guidelines (see Appendix As advocates for the arts, the commission goals are as follows: 1. To provide innovative, cooperative, and accessible programs that are responsive to the needs and emerging opportunities in our community; 2. To support artists and arts organizations by creating opportunities for their work to be experienced and their value recognized; 3. To promote an understanding of the economic value of the arts to the community. The work of the Moscow Arts Commission is dynamic, requiring the insights of the Commission members to meet the challenges and recognize the opportunities of arts advocacy and pro- gramming within our community. Public art is... “a form of street life, a means to articulate the implicit values of a city when its users occupy the place of determining what the city is.” Malcolm Miles ---PAGE BREAK--- 12 A Master Plan for Moscow 2.4 Moscow’s Public Art Collection As of November 2014, there were 38 public art pieces located throughout the City of Moscow. Map 2.1, Moscow’s Public Art Collection, depicts general locations of existing public art. The existing art works were either comissioned or a “call for artist” was developed for each of the projects. Efforts were coordinated by the City Arts Director with assistance from the Moscow Arts Commission. The first public art installation in Moscow was murals at the City pool, titled “Hey Mom! Look at Me!”, completed in 2000. In 2004 staff was in- structed to develop a Public Art Ordinance to promote and support public art within the city. This ordinance (see Appendix B: Public Art Ordinance) stipulates that one percent of the total costs of eligible City public capital improvement projects and funded capital im- provement projects be used to facilitate inclusion of public art in public places. As outlined in the Ordinance, the project manager notifies the Arts Director of a qualifying improvement project that can be part of the one percent for the public art fund. The Arts Director (with advice from the Arts Commission) determines whether the art considered can be part of the public capital improvement project that generated the one percent funds or if it may be added to the public art fund for future art projects. This ordinance has assisted in the growth of Moscow’s public art collection. Of the 38 art projects installed as of November 2014, three large projects were coordinated and installed with the construction of new public facilities. In 2000 a new municipal pool was constructed and a tile mural was installed. In 2003 two large public art projects were installed coinciding with the development of two major city facilities, an indoor recreation facility and a new fire station headquarters. The remainder of the Public Art Collection was commissioned between 2009 and the current year. Figure 11: (top) Wheat seed, utility box art. Figure 12: (middle) Artistic bike rack at the Water Department. Figure 13: (bottom) Art piece on roof of Fire Station ---PAGE BREAK--- 13 Public Art A number of small public art projects began in 2007 with the introduction of “call for artist” for bus shelters, bike racks and utility box art. These small projects opened the world of public art to local artists in the Moscow community to participate. The large number of bus shelters and utility boxes within the city provide artwork that is visible to many and raises awareness about public art in Moscow. In 2012 the Moscow Arts Commission published a “call to artist” for the South Couplet location, a prominent location at the south entry into downtown where U.S. Hwy 95 meets the City center. A large free-standing sculpture named Helio-Terra was selected to be in- stalled at this location. Most recently, a great addition to Moscow’s public art collection coincided with the construction in 2013 of the Moscow Intermodal Transit Center located on the University of Idaho campus. A sculpture garden was located outside of this major public facility. Annually students from the University of Idaho submit work to be displayed on the five plinths that are located in the Sculpture Garden. Appendix C, Moscow’s Public Art Inventory, provides a comprehensive listing of Moscow’s public art collec- tion. Figure 14: (top) Public art at the Intermodal Transit Center in Moscow. Figure 15: (bottom) Utility box art in Mos- cow. “Public art in all its diversity, can mediate all spaces as places.” John Newling ---PAGE BREAK--- 14 A Master Plan for Moscow Helio-Terra is a rammed earth construct that depicts the solar specific to Moscow. The artwork is a mass of locally quarried earth that is compacted into a form resembling a seed. The geometry of the artwork is a gesture toward the agricultural heritage of Moscow, as well as the grain towers that flank the site. The seed is a con- centration of nutrients that gives forth the energy necessary to yield future sustenance, and thus serves as a metaphor for community growth and prosperity. Helio-Terra strikes a direct connection between the sun and the harvest. The installation highlights the furthest reaches of the sun along the horizon and depicts seasonal crests that have served as seasonal anchors for thousands of years. Helio-Terra easily reaches compressive to that of concrete, yet utilizes a fraction of the embodied energy. The form is compiled in thin 5 inch lifts of an earth mix containing varying degrees of iron-oxide. The varying color lifts of earth result in a dramatic and dynamic effect that mirrors that of the rolling hills of the Palouse. Also like the landscape of the region the artwork becomes a canvas for shifting light and color as the sun traverses the sky. The artwork has concave cavities varying in degree of aperture that correspond to solar orienta- tion. These apertures shift between shadow and radiance with shifting light. The project concept is expandable to incorporate future development and to increase the desire for a collective artwork that serves as a visual anchor and gateway. He- lio-Terra is an original and unique design for the City of Moscow created by Robert M Horner. It was constructed in partnership with Bly Wind- storm of LTD, a licensed Rammed Earth builder and president of NAREBA (North American Rammed Earth Builders Association). robertmhorner.com ---PAGE BREAK--- 15 Public Art Figure 16 (top left): Memorial Statue in East City Park.

Public art works will reflect the local and regional history, landscapes and peoples, and will foster cultural awareness and contribute to Moscow’s unique sense of place. Public art will invigorate the community, encourage thoughtful dialogue, and increase the social, economic, and cultural vitality of Moscow. Known as the “Heart of the Arts”, Moscow has been recognized nationally for its art programs and attractions which speak to the community’s commitment and appreciation for the arts. Integrating more public art into the Moscow community will make the many benefits of public art a reality: displaying our history and culture; attracting attention; increasing loyalty and pas- sionate feelings about the community; educating; inspiring, and generally improving the urban environment. The ten-year vision involves using public art to enrich our community’s cultural and social resources, as well as contribute to economic revitalization in Moscow. The vision for public art in Moscow was developed by gathering public input and understanding the desires of com- munity members as it relates to beau- tifying the public spaces in our town. Upon review of public input, four major goals for achieving the vision for public art in Moscow were developed and are listed in the section that follows. Each goal includes a number of objectives intended to outline specific actions that will assist in achieving the goal. Figure 19: Murals at the Hamilton Lowe Aquatic Center. ---PAGE BREAK--- 17 Public Art 3.1 Goals & Objectives Increase public awareness and appreciation of public art and placemaking and the contribution of public art to the social, cultural, and economic well-being of the City. Develop a digital and print public art collection pamphlet for the purpose of guiding art tours and documenting public art installations to increase resident and visitor awareness and enjoyment of public art works in Moscow. Continue arts events such as Art Walk to increase art and artist exposure, awareness and appreciation. Collaborate with the Chamber of Commerce to promote public art viewing opportunities within visitor information guides and materials. Expand opportunities for public involvement in all the arts. Increase number of public art installations within the City. Establish a Public Art Program to guide and cultivate at least one significant public art installation every two years. Establish a Public Mural Program to identify suitable mural installation locations, establish public mural standards, and pursue mural installations within Moscow. Collaborate with community partners to initiate and coordi- nate public art projects. Identified community partners in- clude but are not limited to: University of Idaho, Chamber of Commerce, Heart of the Arts, local schools and businesses and other similar organizations. Develop policy for partnering with private developers to en- courage public art installations within new and existing de- velopments. 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 ---PAGE BREAK--- 18 A Master Plan for Moscow Increase funding for installation and care of public art within the City. Increase the Public Art Ordinance contribution amount from 1% to 1.25% to provide additional funding to increase the number of new public art installations. Establish within the City’s annual budget a Public Art Program appropriation starting at $15,000 to provide a consistent and reliable funding source for public art installation, curation, and program administration. Partner with the Moscow Urban Renewal Agency to increase the current public art tax increment revenue allocation from 1% to 2% to accelerate public art installations within urban renewal districts in Moscow. Increase integrated art projects that are fully incorporated into the design of a larger project. Develop a formal public art component review process for all City projects, subject to the Public Art Ordinance, including a defined review period to allow for the identification of public art integration opportunities without excessive project delays. Conduct training for City project planners, designers, managers and other relevant staff to increase awareness of public art integration opportunities within city projects. 3 3.1 3.2 3.3 4 4.1 4.2 “The Arts and Sciences, essential to the prosperity of the State and to the ornament of human life, have a primary claim to the encouragement of every lover of his country and mankind.” George Washington ---PAGE BREAK--- 19 Public Art 4.0 Public Input Process & Outreach Input from the Moscow community re- garding public art was collected using three different methods: the Moscow Citizen Survey, a series of four Culture Café sessions held by the Public Art Committee, and a public open house. Additional input on placemaking and public art within the City of Moscow was generated from a Creative Placemaking and Public Art proposal devel- oped by Washington State University Land- scape Architecture students during the 2014 fall semester. The complete student proposal can be found in Appendix D. The first Culture Café, held in April 2012, included a design thinking and placemak- ing workshop entitled, “Sparking Creativity with Design Thinking.” Facilitated by Karen Bubb, a public art consultant from Boise, Idaho, this workshop was an innovative problem-solving process for those asso- ciated with non-profit organizations and community groups. The intent of the workshop was to generate conversation among commu- nity members about public art, and to develop ideas for integration of public art within the City. 4.1 Citizen Survey The Moscow Citizen Survey is a biennial survey that serves as a scorecard of the community by providing an evaluation of the services provided by the City of Moscow and the character- istics of its residents. Each year the Arts Commission has included questions within the Citizen Survey, and most years one of the questions has pertained to public art. In 2006, 65% “agreed” or “strongly agreed” that the development of a plan for public art in the community is a worth- while project for the Moscow Arts Commission. In 2010, survey respondents were asked about Figures 20 & 21: Design Thinking and Placemaking Workshop, facilitated by Karen Bubb in April 2012. ---PAGE BREAK--- 20 A Master Plan for Moscow their preference for placement of public art in the community. Responses are shown in Figure 22, which notes “libraries” as the most specific preferred site at 30%, just after “all of the above locations” at 40%. Additional “other” comments included one specifying a preference for rotating gardens/sculptures, two noting no public art should be paid for with public dollars, one comment each for ‘any location’ and ‘everywhere’, six comments noting Main Street or downtown, three noting business or shopping centers, one noting city entrances, three noting no preference, and one noting that a tree would be preferred. Preference for Placement of Public Art City parks and trails 24% Municipal buildings 28% None of the above 11% Libraries 30% Public walkways 20% All of the above 40% The Moscow Arts Commission included a question on the 2012 citizen survey seeking public input regarding what types of public art should be en- couraged in Moscow. Respondents were given ten Figure 22: Preference for placement of pub- lic art – 2010 Citizen Survey results. Figure 23: Invitational flyer to a Culture Café session. choices and a “don’t know” option. They were asked to choose their top three preferences. From most preferred to least preferred, the responses were as follows: murals, fountains, sculptures, functional art, architecture, performance, land art, monuments, don’t know, banners, posters. 4.2 Culture Cafés In addition to the Citizen Survey, input from the public regarding public art in Moscow was collect- ed at a series of four Culture Café sessions. The Culture Café theory is built on the assumption that people already have within them the wisdom and creativity to confront even the most difficult chal- lenges. Given the appropriate context and focus, it is possible to access and use this deeper knowledge about what is important. The first Café was held at City Hall during the Design Thinking and Place- making Workshop held in April 2012. Subsequent Cafés were held in October at Moscow’s Farmers Market, and November 2012 and January 2013 at Bloom, a café and arthouse in downtown Moscow. The Culture Café sessions were intended to engage ---PAGE BREAK--- 21 Public Art the public and inquire of local citizens what they would like to see in a public art program for the City of Moscow. Participants were asked to think about Moscow’s public spaces that have special meaning to them. The space could be an intersection, street, entrance to the city, a park, public plaza, or significant land formation such as a mountain or lake. Next, participants thought about why this space was important to them and if someone new to the city went to this space, would they understand its significance? After interactive discussions of key sites in Moscow, and the role of public art, participants provided their input regarding how public art is defined, their preferred types of art, and suggested locations for art piece installations. Appendix E, Community Input from the Four “Culture Café” Sessions, provides a complete list of the input received during the four sessions. Map 4.1, Preferred Locations for Public Art, depicts public art focus areas indicating areas most preferred for new public art piece installa- tions during the café sessions. Appendix F, Community Input - Map of Locations for Public Art, shows all individual locations noted as preferred sites for new public art.

Five presentation boards were displayed providing background information about public art, Moscow’s vision for public art, and the plan goals. Attendees were provided five stickers and were asked to place the stickers on a map indicating their top five priorities for public art sites. Images of the maps with stickers are provided on the following pages. The complete set of boards from the March 2015 open house can be found in Appendix G. The top prior- ities for public art installation (as indicated by the stickers on the map) were the north city entry at the north couplet intersection of Main and C Streets, downtown streets- cape projects (benches, sculpture plinths, trash receptacles, and planters), the south- west corner of the Jackson and Sixth Street intersection, the south city entry where U.S. 95 crosses the South Fork of the Palouse River, and the Moscow Public Library. A com- pilation of input received at the public open house can be found in Appendix H. The input on prioritization of project sites received at the March 2015 open house was consistent with the public input received at Culture Café sessions and the Citizen Survey, with downtown, parks and pathways, city buidings, and city entrances being priority areas.

The focus areas include: Moscow’s downtown and the adjacent core focal area of the Legacy Crossing Urban Renewal District, city entrances, city parks and pathways, and city and public facilities. The following sections detail the recommended projects within each focus area. Section 5.5 provides a prioritized list of projects to be completed within the next ten years, and Section 5.6 provides a capital improvement plan including a ten-year budget for installation of the priori- tized projects, anticipated between fiscal year 2017 to 2026. The Arts Director (in consultation with the Moscow Arts Commission) may choose to advance public art projects to City Council that are not on the list of prioritized projects due to new capital projects or changing public priorities. 5.1 Downtown & Legacy Crossing Downtown Moscow is the heart of the communi- ty, hosting the City’s annual Farmers Market and ArtWalk Event, as well as many other community events and activities. Currently there are no signif- icant public art installations in downtown. During the public input process, downtown was identified as one of the highest priorities for future public art installations. When considering public art installa- tion in downtown, it is important that attention be given to integrated pedestrian environments and alternative transportation in order to foster en- gagement of place for people. Legacy Crossing, located southwest of downtown, is intended to bridge the divide between the University of Idaho and Moscow’s downtown while energizing and revitalizing the core of the community. The area is generally bound by Sixth Street to the north, Sweet Avenue to the west, Jackson Street to the east, and State Highway 95 to the south. Figure 31: Legacy Crossing, suggested key public art installation locations as shown in the Legacy Crossing Design Guidelines. Figure 30: Downtown Moscow. ---PAGE BREAK--- 24 A Master Plan for Moscow With recognition of the artistic and creative energy public art builds within a community, as well as its enhancement of economic and social vitality, the Legacy Crossing Overlay District Design Guidelines encourages public art to be incorporated within building façades, street furnishings, and public installations. The Design Guidelines suggest incorporation of public art installations within all proposed key public spaces as shown in Figure 31. It is recommended that the City pursue the following art installations in the downtown area: 1. Downtown Streetscape Project. This project includes functional public art and involves replacement and/or installation of approximately 14 benches, 30 trash receptacles, 24 planters, and 12 sculpture plinths to host rotating art works. It is recommended that the Downtown Streetscape Project be completed in phases over the ten-year period, as outlined in the Capital Improvement Plan in section 5.6. 2. Jackson and Sixth Street. This project includes installation of a large integrated or sculpture-type public art piece on the southwest corner of the Jackson and Sixth Street intersection. This project site is located within the core focal area of the Legacy Crossing Urban Renewal District. As the public’s third priority location for installation of public art, this project is being recommended for completion during fiscal year 2019. 5.2 City Entrances The visual effect of city entrances is critical. Not only does an entrance provide a first impres- sion of an area, the entrance advertises and defines what is within that area. An appropriately designed and maintained city entrance can project a sense of community pride, slow traffic, mark the city limits and welcome visitors. The installation of public art at city was identified as a high priority during the public input process. The City of Moscow Beau- tification Study, completed in early 2015, examined the aesthetic condition of Moscow’s entry- ways and principal arterial corridors and identified public art opportunities that will positively impact the community’s appearance and character. It is recommended that the City pursue the following public art installations at the identified entry locations: 1. North City Entry. Installation of a medium-sized sculpture at the north couplet near the intersection of Main and C Streets (see Figure 32). This project was the first priority site for public art installation and is recommended for completion during fiscal year 2017. 2. South City Entry. Artistic enhancements to existing bridge and pedestrian guardrails along U.S. 95 at the crossing of the South Fork of the Palouse River (see Figure 33). This project was the fourth priority site for public art installation and is recommended for completion during fiscal year 2020. ---PAGE BREAK--- 25 Public Art 5.3 Parks & Pathways Parks and pathways present a great opportunity for the in- stallation of public art in locations where adults and children are recreating and have the opportunity to interact with art pieces. Placement of public art in parks and pathways not only adds interest to a place, but the installation of func- tional art (bike racks, drinking fountains, planters, direc- tional art) can be purposeful. It is recommended that the City pursue the following public art installations at the identified public parks and pathways: 1. Berman Creekside Park. Installation of a small- sized interpretive or functional art piece at a location within Berman Creekside Park. This project was the sixth priority for public art installation and is recommended for completion during fiscal year 2021. 2. East City Park. Installation of a medium-sized integrated or functional art piece at a location within the East City Park. This project was the seventh priority for public art installation and is recommended for completion fiscal year 2022. 3. Paradise Path. Installation of an interpretive or functional art piece along Paradise Path. This project was the ninth priority for public art installation and is recommended for completion during fiscal year 2024. 4. Friendship Square. Installation of a medium-sized interpretive or functional art piece within Friendship Square. This project was the tenth priority for public art installation and is recommended for completion during fiscal year 2025.

The two public facilities that received the highest priority ranking from the public are the Moscow Public Library and the 1912 Center. Additionally, capital improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) have generated significant public art funds in the last decade (as stipulated by the Public Art Or- dinance No. 2004-30). Washington State University Landscape Architecture students complet- ed a public art site analysis project in 2013 at the Plant that provided suggestions for placement and types of public art to incorporate at this City facility (see Appendix It is anticipated that this project could be incorporated into the west City entry improvement project, as outlined in the City Beautification plan adopted in early 2014. It is recommended that the City pursue public art installations at the following City and public facilities: 1. Moscow’s Public Library. Installation of a small interpretive or functional art piece. This project was the fifth priority site for public art installation and is recommended for completion during fiscal year 2021. 2. 1912 Center. Installation of a small interpretive or functional art piece. This project was the eighth priority site for public art installation and is recommended for completion during fiscal year 2023. 5.5 Project Prioritization Ten public art projects have been prioritized for installation within the next ten years (2017 – 2026). Based on public input and the established goals and objectives as outlined in this plan, the project locations have been prioritized as shown in the chart below. Project Site/Name Priority Ranking North City Entry - Couplet at Main & C Street 1 Downtown Streetscape (benches, trash receptacles, planters, sculpture plinths) 2 Jackson and 6th Street (SW corner) 3 South City Entry - U.S. 95 crossing of the South Fork of Palouse River 4 Moscow Public Library 5 Berman Creekside Park 6 East City Park 7 1912 Center 8 Paradise Path 9 Friendship Square 10 ---PAGE BREAK--- 27 Public Art 5.6 Public Art Budget & Capital Improvement Plan The City of Moscow Public Art Capital Improvement Plan, (see next page) outlines a ten-year budget for installation of the ten recommended projects as well as projected expenses for ad- ministration of the public art program and revenues to be allocated for public art projects. The installation size for each of the projects is indicated as small, medium or large, with a cost of $10,000, $25,000, or $35,000 respectively. The suggested public art type is included in the plan for each project site, and the first priority project is recommended to be completed in fiscal year 2017, with the last project being completed in fiscal year 2026. Each of the projects (with the exception of the Downtown Furnishings and Sculpture Plinths) involve installation of a public art piece at a single location, and completion of the project instal- lation within one budget year. The Downtown Furnishings project includes the installation of several benches, trash receptacles, and planters in various locations downtown. The budgeted amount for this project is based on an estimation of 14 artistic benches ($2,500 each), 30 artisitc trash receptacles ($750 each), and 24 planters ($750 each). The Downtown Furnishings project is recommended to be completed in phases throughout the ten-year period, with installations occurring every two years. Additionally the Downtown Sculpture Plinths project includes the installation of 12 sculpture bases and sculptures at various locations downtown and it is recom- mended that all 12 sculpture plinths and artistic pieces be installed in the second year of this plan, as the Downtown Streetscape Project is the second priority site. “Public art can express civic values, enhance the environment, transform a landscape, heighten our awareness, or question our assumptions. Placed in a site, this art is therefore for everyone, a form of collective community expression - from the once celebrated but now unrecognized general on a horse to the abstract sculpture that may baffle the passer-by on first glance.” Penny Balkin Bach, Art Administrator ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF MOSCOW PUBLIC ART CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Priority Projects Priority Ranking Public Art Type Installation Size 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 10‐Year Totals Downtown and Legacy Crossing Downtown Furnishings (14 benches, 30 trash receptacles, 24 planters) 2 Functional Small 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 75,000 $ Downtown Sculpture Plinths (12 sculpture bases and sculptures) 2 Sculpture Plinths Small 24,000 $ 24,000 $ Jackson and 6th Street 3 Integrated/Sculpture Large 35,000 $ 35,000 $ Subtotal 134,000 $ City Entrances (Gateways) North Entry ‐ Main & C Street 1 Sculpture Medium 20,000 $ 20,000 $ South Entry ‐ US 95/Palouse River 4 Integrated/Functional Large 35,000 $ 35,000 $ Subtotal 55,000 $ City Parks and Pathways Berman Creekside Park 6 Interpretive/Functional Small 10,000 $ 10,000 $ East City Park 7 Integrated/Functional Medium 20,000 $ 20,000 $ Friendship Square 10 Integrated/Functional Medium 20,000 $ 20,000 $ Paradise Path 9 Interpretive/Functional Medium 20,000 $ 20,000 $ Subtotal 70,000 $ City and Public Facilities 1912 Center 8 Interpretive/Functional Small 10,000 $ 10,000 $ Public Library 5 Interpretive/Functional Small 10,000 $ 10,000 $ Subtotal 20,000 $ Installation Subtotal 20,000 $ 39,000 $ 35,000 $ 50,000 $ 20,000 $ 35,000 $ 10,000 $ 35,000 $ 20,000 $ 15,000 $ 279,000 $ Program Administration Public Art Curation 2,700 $ 3,090 $ 3,440 $ 3,940 $ 4,140 $ 4,490 $ 4,590 $ 4,940 $ 5,140 $ 5,290 $ 41,760 $ Program Management 15% (Administration, Call for Artists, Promotions) 3,000 $ 5,850 $ 5,250 $ 7,500 $ 3,000 $ 5,250 $ 1,500 $ 5,250 $ 3,000 $ 2,250 $ 41,850 $ Project Signage ($500 each) 500 $ 500 $ 500 $ 500 $ 500 $ 500 $ 500 $ 500 $ 4,000 $ Program Administration Subtotal 6,200 $ 8,940 $ 9,190 $ 11,940 $ 7,640 $ 10,240 $ 6,590 $ 10,690 $ 8,640 $ 7,540 $ 87,610 $ Annual Program Expense 26,200 $ 47,940 $ 44,190 $ 61,940 $ 27,640 $ 45,240 $ 16,590 $ 45,690 $ 28,640 $ 22,540 $ 366,610 $ REVENUES Public Art Program General Fund Allocation 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 15,000 $ 17,500 $ 17,500 $ 17,500 $ 17,500 $ 17,500 $ 162,500 $ Public Art Ordinance Capital Project Allocation (1.25% for capital projects) 7,500 $ 7,725 $ 7,957 $ 8,195 $ 8,441 $ 8,695 $ 8,955 $ 9,224 $ 9,501 $ 9,786 $ 85,979 $ URA Increment Contribution of annual increment for projects within the District) 15,000 $ 10,000 $ 25,000 $ Contribution for Downtown Furnishings 10,000 $ 10,000 $ 10,000 $ 10,000 $ 10,000 $ 50,000 $ Beginning Public Art Fund Balance 65,000 $ 61,300 $ 46,085 $ 39,852 $ 11,107 $ 16,909 $ 7,863 $ 17,728 $ 8,763 $ 7,123 $ 281,730 $ Revenues Subtotal 87,500 $ 94,025 $ 84,042 $ 73,047 $ 44,549 $ 53,103 $ 34,318 $ 54,453 $ 35,763 $ 44,409 $ 605,209 $ Revenues 87,500 $ 94,025 $ 84,042 $ 73,047 $ 44,549 $ 53,103 $ 34,318 $ 54,453 $ 35,763 $ 44,409 $ Expenses (26,200) $ (47,940) $ (44,190) $ (61,940) $ (27,640) $ (45,240) $ (16,590) $ (45,690) $ (28,640) $ (22,540) $ *Large=$35,000, Medium=$20,000, Small=$10,000 Ending Art Fund Balance 61,300 $ 46,085 $ 39,852 $ 11,107 $ 16,909 $ 7,863 $ 17,728 $ 8,763 $ 7,123 $ 21,869 $ ---PAGE BREAK--- Appendix A City of Moscow Public Art Guidelines Appendix ---PAGE BREAK--- CITY OF MOSCOW PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES I. GENERAL PROVISIONS A. PURPOSE The purpose of the Moscow public art program is to integrate a wide range of public art into the community, reflecting a diversity of artistic styles, disciplines, and points of view. B. POLICY GOALS Goals of the public art program include: broadening the role of the artist in the community; encouraging early collaboration among artists, architects, engineers and owners; dispensing public art throughout the City of Moscow; providing proper cataloging and maintenance of the public art collection; preserving and relocating artworks displaced through improvement projects; ensuring that public agencies and community representatives participate in the selection of public art; and promoting public dialogue and understanding of public art. II. MOSCOW ARTS COMMISSION A. ORGANIZATION OF MAC The Moscow Arts Commission was established by City Council on October 2, 1978 (by Ordinance No. 1370). The MAC generally represents the City’s interests in art matters and acts as a spokesperson for arts matters within the City, informs the Mayor and Council and makes recommendations regarding matters related to arts, and acts as a resource for the Arts Director, offering advice and assistance in matters related to public art and public art activities. Currently, the MAC is comprised of not more than twelve (12) voting members who serve at the appointment of the Mayor, as approved by Council. MAC membership consists of not more than three Latah County residents who do not reside within the City limits. Other members are appointed at large. Where possible, the MAC includes at least one student that is enrolled in a post-secondary educational program. The student member serves for a one year term. At least one high school (or equivalent educational program) student serves as a non-voting member for a one year term. A Council member serves as an ex officio non- voting member for a one year term. B. MOSCOW ARTS COMMISSION ROLE Working through the Arts Director, the Moscow Arts Commission (MAC) is charged by the Council to represent a broad spectrum of the community and give input on the public arts to the Council through the Arts Director. The MAC helps develop policies and goals for the selection, placement and potential maintenance of works of public art acquired through the public art program and other public/private partnerships and recommends such policies and goals to the Council for approval (through and in consultation with the Arts Director). PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES - 2011 PAGE 1 OF 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- MAC oversight responsibilities include the following areas of interest: 1. Moscow public art projects a. Responding to briefings by City staff, agency representatives and project architects, landscape architects at beginning of public art projects b. Overseeing Selection Panel members c. Approving direction of public art’s projects d. Approving semi-finalists recommended by the Selection Panel e. Receiving report on finalist artists and proposed public artwork 2. Memorials and monuments for public parks 3. Donations of artwork to the public art collection 4. Decommissioning of artwork from the public art collection 5. Developing guidelines and purchasing artworks for the public art collection III. PUBLIC ARTS PROJECTS A. FUNDING OF PUBLIC ARTS PROJECTS 1. Overview of dedication and disbursement of funds a. The public art fund is a dedicated fund of the City (currently fund number 125-000-00370-05). b. Once it is determined that a public improvement project qualifies under Ordinance No. 2004-30, the Finance department calculates the one percent for art funds available for such project and deposits them in the public art fund. c. The City, through its Arts Director, contracts artists and pays them from the public art fund (currently fund number 125-200-30770-35). 2. Expenditure of arts monies a. Capital Improvement Projects that qualify for public art funding shall be subject to the provisions of Ordinance No. 2004-30. b. Arts monies collected through the public art fund shall be set aside when either the qualifying public improvements project bid is approved by City Council so that the one percent art can be incorporated into the project during construction or upon completion of the improvement project. When the Arts Director (in consultation with MAC) determines that the art component to the improvement project does not fit or match the project, monies will be set aside in the public art fund for future arts projects pursuant to City policy. 3. The art component of a qualifying Capital Improvement Project will be allocated from the public art fund as follows: a. No less than seven five percent (75%) shall be allocated toward such public art, including purchase, design, fabrication, and installation. b. No more than twenty five percent (25%) shall be used for administrative costs, including, but not limited to, costs of selection, maintenance, repair, conservation, and on-going documentation and cataloging of the Public Art Collection (done, in part, to adequately insure all City-owned artwork). PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES - 2011 PAGE 2 OF 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- B. IDENTIFICATION OF PUBLIC ART PROJECTS Identify a potential public art project pursuant to these Public Art Guidelines. As soon as practical, the department head proposing or responsible for public works project or improvement will notify the Arts Director of a qualifying improvement project that can be part of the one percent for the arts art assessment. The Arts Director (with advice from the MAC, when appropriate) should determine whether the art considered can be a part of a project or whether it may be added to future art project(s). After identifying an improvement project that qualifies for the one percent funding, the Finance Director shall calculate the one percent of the total project cost and notify the Arts Director of that estimate. The Arts Director will either identify a public art project to be affiliated with the public improvement project or shall request that the Finance Director transfer the one percent funds into the future art(s) project fund for future use. Where a public art project will be affiliated with the improvement project, the Arts Director will meet with the respective department head and will attend pre-construction meetings as necessary. Presentations and construction meeting times will be made available to the Arts Director. The Arts Director or designee will work with the project architect, landscape architect, and/or engineer to review the following, as appropriate: 1. Allocated art budget 2. Design and construction schedule 3. Appropriate sites and project goals for artwork The Arts Director and City staff will prepare and issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the arts project affiliated with the improvement project with input from the MAC and following approval of the Art Project concept by the Council. The Arts Director, in consultation with MAC, may decide that funds from a specific improvement project are in excess, insufficient, or that the site is inappropriate for public art. Funds may then be transferred to other public art projects or remain in the public art fund. The Arts Director, in consultation with MAC, may make certain public art fund monies (not directly connected to a specific public works project) available for a MAC grant opportunity for artists. Such MAC “mini-grant” program shall generally follow the principles stated in these Public Art Guidelines. C. THE SELECTION PANEL Method of Selection Panel appointments. The Arts Director and MAC will recommend selection panelists to the Mayor and Council. MAC takes into account the guidelines hereinbelow, requests by individuals to serve, PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES - 2011 PAGE 3 OF 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- and staff recommendations. Selection Panel members shall serve at the appointment of the Mayor. Panel Structure. Selection Panels will be comprised of at least the following: 1. Voting members: a. Participating department representative or designee b. Moscow Council member or designee c. MAC members d. Community representative, preferably from project “impact area” e.

Project architect, landscape architect, interior designer, or engineer c. City staff members acting in a technical advisory capacity Length of term. Each Selection Panel member serves through the completion of one public art project. D. CONFLICT OF INTEREST 1. No artist sitting on a Selection Panel may submit a proposal for the project for which the Selection Panel was formed. 2. MAC members shall declare a conflict of interest if a project comes before the Selection Panel from which he/she or the household or business could financially benefit. MAC members shall also declare a conflict of interest if a person with whom he/she shares a household or whom he/she professionally represents has a matter to be considered by Selection Panel. Such person shall recuse themselves from any participation in any process for the project the Selection Panel is considering. 3. No member of the project’s architect or landscape architect, interior designer, or engineering firm may apply for a public art project being designed by that firm. E. SELECTION PANEL PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Moscow Arts Director will hold an orientation for each Selection Panel (which may include a public art slide show or electronic images, review of program guidelines, orientation to the specific project; and/or a review of any goals already established by the participating department and the Moscow Arts Director and MAC. 2. The Selection Panel shall utilize the following relative to the public arts project for which the Panel has been formed: a. Develop the project’s goals, sites and suitable art forms for artwork (taking into account goals and sites already determined by the participating department and the MAC, when applicable). b.

The Arts Director will then generate a project report to present to the Mayor and Council for final approval. F. EXEMPTIONS FROM SELECTION PANEL ART PROJECT CONSIDERATION A project considered for funding through the public art fund shall comply with Ordinance 2004-30. In addition, the following shall not be considered for City public arts projects paid for by the City: 1. Works which are not entirely original (unless the non-original content is used with permission or is part of the public domain and comprises only a small portion of the work). 2. Decorative or functional elements designed by the project architects, landscape architects, interior designers, or their consultants, without the original artist’s collaboration. 3. Art objects which are mass produced of standard design, such as playground equipment. 4. Directional elements such as signs, maps, color coding, unless designed and/or executed by an artist. 5. Standard architect’s, landscape architect’s, engineer’s, or interior designer’s fees, unless such work was approved prior to construction. IV. ARTIST / ART WORK A.

Artists are required to warrant that artwork is unique (an edition of one), or part of a limited edition. 2. Artist. Artists for design teams should ideally have the ability to think conceptually, the ability to communicate and be flexible, experience working with design professionals and integrating artistic concepts into construction documents, the ability to work with architectural drawings, and prior experience with collaborative group work situations. B. ART WORK SITE SELECTION CONSIDERATION In selecting a site for public art, the Selection Panel should consider whether: 1. The site is publicly accessible at reasonable times, allowing for contemplation and interaction between the public and the work of art; 2. The site is on public property or property managed or controlled by the City; 3. The site suggests art opportunities that would extend the breadth, vitality and quality of Moscow’s public art program; 4. The art is likely to enhance the pedestrian experience of the space and contribute to the visual interest of the area; 5. The site falls within the prominent paths of circulation an entry point, transit corridor, or plaza area), or is near a place of congregation park, transportation center, entertainment or retail center); and 6. Meets the conditions to receive public art funding or grant funding. C. PLACEMENT OF WORKS OF ART 1. While it is the intent that site-specific works will remain in the site for which they were created, the City reserves the right to relocate a piece of public art. PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES - 2011 PAGE 6 OF 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. Portable works of art that are not site-specific are part of the “Portable Works Collection” and will move throughout City facilities at the discretion of the Arts Director, taking into account requests from various departments. 3. Temporary works of art commissioned will be documented with appropriate media either by the artist(s) or the City. 4. Where a work of art will be placed on a site not directly owned and/or controlled by the City, the placement terms and conditions shall be specifically approved of by City Council. D. RELOCATING SITE-SPECIFIC WORKS OF ART 1. No site-specific artwork may be moved without the recommendation of MAC and the Arts Director and specific Council action. The MAC may consider recommending relocating a site-specific artwork for one or more of the following reasons: a. The condition or security of the artwork can no longer be reasonably guaranteed at its current site; b. The artwork has become a hazard to public safety in its current site and condition; or c. The site has changed so that the artwork is no longer compatible with the site. 2. Once the MAC and Arts Director have determined that an artwork meets one or more of the above criteria, the following process shall be followed: a. The Arts Director makes a good faith attempt to discuss relocation of the art work with the artist or his/her representative, if available. b. If the artist agrees to the proposed relocation, the recommendation will be considered by the Park and Recreation Director, the Arts Director, and the City Supervisor, then presented to Council for approval. c. If the artist does not agree to the proposed relocation, the artist or representative may request that his/her name not be used as the author of the artwork when relocated. V. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS A. MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC ART It is the responsibility of the Arts Director and Parks and Recreation Director to oversee the maintenance of all works of art in the City’s public art collection. 1. All commissioned artists will be required to complete a conservation record form that provides information on materials, fabrication methods, installation details, and recommended maintenance. 2. The Arts Director will maintain a computer database inventory and a paper file of relevant documents for artworks owned by the City. PUBLIC ART GUIDELINES - 2011 PAGE 7 OF 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- 3.

Participating departments should notify the MAC immediately if an artwork is either damaged or stolen or if the participating department plans to move the artwork or in any way alter its location or use. 6. The City shall maintain adequate insurance coverage for its public art collection. B. DONATIONS OF ARTWORK 1. Review of Proposed Art Donations a. Works of art are occasionally offered as donations to the City of Moscow. The Arts Director (in consultation with MAC) is responsible for reviewing and evaluating the suitability of a proposed artwork and recommending to the City Council whether or not to accept it as a gift, and/or allow it to be installed on city property. If accepted by the City Council, the maintenance of a gift of art is the responsibility of the City (unless otherwise specified). When considering a gift, the Arts Director may recommend that the Council require that the donor establish a maintenance endowment to ensure an adequate quality of care for the artwork. b. The Arts Director and MAC is responsible for review of all proposed gifts of art to the City, including donations by individuals, neighborhoods, community groups, and international organizations. Such donated artwork may be placed temporarily on City property without being offered to the City as a gift, provided that the donor obtains the appropriate approvals and/or revocable permits (if any) for placement of the works and agrees to maintain them throughout the life of the work. In these cases, gift review is not required. 2. Donation of works of art to City’s art collection a. Donor contacts appropriate City staff to discuss the potential gift, providing photos or the actual artwork. b. Arts Director presents consideration of the gift to the MAC.

Tran (New York Aquarium, New York) Moscow Waste Water Treatment Plant Proposed Locations for Public Art By Jeremy Auer I WSU Landscape Architecture I Fall 2013 ---PAGE BREAK--- Water flow June Sun December Sun Street Views Site Analysis N Wind Wind Circulation Pros- Roadway provides driving and handicap access to all buildings and water tanks. Cons- As you enter the site the roadway splits and it can become confusing which direction visitors should go. There is very little parking places in the event of a larger tour group. Structure Pros- Office provides a good meeting place for tour groups. Water filtration tanks all have clear views for pedestrians to see water flow. Archime- des pump is an interesting and effective process and is first view from parking. Final stage cleaning pumphouse cleans remaining waste before releas- ing water to the stream and shows how clean water ends up. Cons-Primary filtration building on east most point is the place with the most stench. Signage Pros- one small sign labeling the site of University of Idaho’s Advanced Water Reclamation Research Facility. Other small signs show # and name of each water basin. Cons-Main entrance sign to the site is not very visable from roadway. No information or process- es signs posted at key stages of filtration process. Vegetation Pros- site is right along the bike trail/river green- way on the north side of the perimeter fence. Some tall evergreen trees block most views of roadway and shopping mall. Bushes surround- ing water tanks conceal some concrete struc- ture Cons- lots of open grass areas. Topography Pros- lots of space to add public art and expand structures in future. Cons- the whole site is very flat and grassy. Water drainage Pros- flow of water determines circulation of tour and placement of structures. Cons- stench from entering waste is blown into the office. Micro Climate The site is in full sun in the winter and the summer. Prevailing winds blow to the South-east and also to the East.

Rock garden by entrance will add a sense of the natural environment connected with the site. This will elevated the landscape has the option to also serve as a small waterfall stream to demonstrate how the filtered water will look as it enters into the actual river just outside of the site. 2 Just as you enter the front gate you will come upon a sign which will serve to let visitors know where they are. Sign can be viewed from the roadway making more sense to the structures presented behind the sign. The sign will also direct them towards the parking area. (Fountain is optional could be substituted out for flower bed) 3 Rebar located at this site could help to support the sculpture that will be placed here. Metal microrganism sculpture will be seen from road- ways and as you drive up to the office along the large grass feild. These microrganisms are a crucial part of the treatment process taking on behind the sculpture and need to be represented. 4 Flower beds planted in these grass areas will use the prevailing winds to spread their pleasant smells towards the office building and the primary filtration building. This is the stinkiest place on site and fresh flowers will help to conceal the strong odors from the incoming waste. At the same time the flowers will add a nice aesthetic to this area which is viewed from the office and across the street at the shopping center. Small cement building near archimedes pump with empty wall will be a great place to put up an informative diagram of the pump system or an overview of the waste water treatement process for the public to view and understand. 5 7 Informative signs with labeled diagrams will be placed at the various water tanks. These signs will explain what processes are taking place in each tank and why. These will serve to enhance the visitors experience and expand their knowl- edge. 6 Along the long cement wall is a good place to put inspiration- al quotes about water and renewing our natural resources for the benifit of our society and ecosystem. These can be sten- ciled onto the wall or made more elaborate like the example shown. ---PAGE BREAK--- Site inventory and Analysis for public art 9/4/13 WSU Lnd_Arch 262 studio Drawing by: Laura A.
