COMMITTEE DISCUSSION
1. Vista Public Art Project - The Honorable Tyler D. Bailey
Ms. Abby Anderson, Executive Director of the Vista Guild explained that the Vista
Guild received a $150,000 donation for a large scale public art piece. The intent is
to highlight a part of the Vista and bring people to Finlay Park. The Vista Guild
proposed a light installation project inside the Lincoln Street Tunnel by next fall.
The application includes letters of support from the Arsenal Hill Neighborhood
Association, Vista Neighborhood Association, and Councilman Tyler D. Bailey.
There was consensus of the committee to endorse the Vista Public Art Project for
consideration by One Columbia for Arts and History. The Vista’s comprehensive
public art placement plan will be presented in the future.
Mr. Henry Simons, Assistant City Manager for Operations said the next step is for
One Columbia to assess the Vista’s application. Their recommendation will come
back to this committee for a recommendation to City Council.
Ms. Abby Anderson, Executive Director of the Vista Guild said we would like to work
with One Columbia to help us with the request for qualifications. We would then
bring it back to this committee for consideration of the proposed location.
