A Journey With AUS Over the next few years, the Airport Expansion Development Program will provide near-term improvements through a series of Construction Manager At Risk construction projects taking place on the south side of AUS’s airfield. These projects will help the airport meet current and future air service demands by enhancing passenger and aircraft flow, terminal amenities, roadways and airfield. What else is happening? The Journey With AUS Vision The Journey With AUS Vision: Meet the current and future needs of our growing region while staying true to our roots and elevating the passenger journey with an authentic Austin and Central Texas experience. The program's overall scope and budget are currently in development. The improvements will be funded through traditional airport development funding sources, such as airport cash reserves, current and future airport revenues, future revenue bond proceeds, and Federal Aviation Administration grants. AUS is an Enterprise Department = No local Austin taxpayer dollars will be used to fund the program. AUS Arts Planning MISSION The mission of AUS Arts is to contribute to the Journey with AUS Vision by elevating passenger experiences through presentation of experiential art and culture that reflect the character of communities local to Austin and, more broadly, to the Central Texas Region; that cultivate a unique airport environment and broaden the perspective of world class travel featuring AUS as a Gateway to the world for all. What does AUS Arts do? AUS Arts is the Art and Music division of the City of Austin Department of Aviation Guest Services created for the purpose of overseeing and implementing the following: 1. Curating Changing and Rotating Exhibits 2. Programming Live Music and Performing Arts 3. Developing educational arts programming; 4. Acquisition of permanent artwork (Public Art/AIPP) for AUS; 5. Liaising with appropriate City departments or citizen groups to coordinate implementation of any of the above as required and determined necessary. * See definitions in AUS Arts Plan for descriptions. PROGRAM GOALS • Engage the local community and enhance Guest Services • Contribute to the aesthetics of the Airport environment through the intentional placement and programming of art and culture • Provide educational insight to the traveling public about the cultural richness of the region • Showcase local and regional visual and performing artists and cultural organizations What‘s the purpose of an Airport Arts Plan? The purpose of this Airport Arts Plan is to set forth a vision and governance structure that allow for site-specific, collaborative, and advantageous arts opportunities for programming and experiences specific to Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). AUS Arts Plan Includes • Curatorial Strategies for Exhibitions • Strategies for Special Performances • Collections Management Policy • Site and Opportunities Plan for AIPP & Other Public Art Why do we need a Site-based Opportunity Plan? Art in Public Places Public Art Master Plan Austin-Bergstrom International Airport March 2018 Gail M. Goldman Associates Patty A. Ortiz City of Austin Art in Public Places Program Cultural Arts Division Economic Development Department 1. Presents an integrated approach to AIPP planning that aligns with AUS planning 2. Advances key Recommendations and Next Steps detailed in the 2018 ABIA - Art in Public Places Art Master Plan From the 2018 Plan: 1. Create airport-specific AIPP guidelines and seek adoption of them by the City of Austin Art in Public Places and City of Austin Arts Commission. 2. Create a plan of the airport’s interior and exterior publicly accessible spaces that identifies future opportunities for public art. What is a Sites and Opportunity Plan? 1. Guide to maximize collaborative processes 2. Vision for public art opportunities specific to this airport 3. Flexible plan for adapting opportunities as the building program develops and changes 4. Curatorial approach to acquiring a unique collection of integral and functional artworks tailored to the building’s design and customer experiences SOME PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS Functional, interactive, participatory, kinesthetic, experiential, engaging How does a Site-based Opportunity Plan work? ‒ Works as a holistic approved plan from user department ‒ Offers a detailed Prospectus of multiple projects spanning several years* o Lists overall project approach o Determines Methods of Artist Selection for each project o Strives for solutions that allow for artwork o Defines overall budgets (as estimates) based on proposed scopes ‒ Considers integrated design approach ‒ Allows artist to contribute to site selection within described opportunities ‒ *specified by AIPP Ordinance Guidelines Section VI - Development of an Art in Public Places Project p.9 What is the process of review and approvals? Concept Design Approach when requested during artist interviews *AD HOC SELECTION PANELS * AIPP PANEL * ARTS COMMISSION AIPP Only AIPP Only 01 04 05 Internal technical specifications and site parameters AIRPORT DESIGN REVIEW * Regular updates as needed AIRPORT LEADERSHIP Updates as needed AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION * AIPP 02 03 06 IMPORTANT TO NOTE. We are not buying art. We are commissioning highly specialized and skilled artists and teams to integrate functional and experiential artwork into our campus and facilities. Opportunities will vary from large and dramatic statements to subtle and nuanced moments. This Sites & Opportunities Plan proposes a Multi-phased implementation approach to run parallel with complimentary phases of the AEDP. Doing so, maximizes collaborative efforts, saves time and money, and yields a seamless design with the building and integrated artwork. What are the solicitation processes? 1.
