Zilker Eagle Mural Detail About Austin Parks Foundation About Austin Parks Foundation • For nearly 30 years, APF has partnered with our community to enhance people’s lives by making our public parks, trails and green spaces better through volunteerism, innovative programming, advocacy and financial support. • With a focus on creating equitable access to great parks for all Austinites, APF is helping fill the city's parks funding and resource gap. Funding initiatives like APF’s community-initiated grants have distributed over $3.5 million since 2006, and the annual flagship volunteer event, It’s My Park Day, results in an average of $650,000 in volunteer labor each year. • APF also fosters unique public/private partnerships like the Zilker Train and empowers neighbors all over the city to create a parks system that serves their needs. About Zilker Eagle About Zilker Eagle • Since 1961, a mini train has run in Zilker Park. The previous train, the Zilker Zephyr, went out of commission in May 2019. • Because of our partnership with the City’s Parks & Recreation Dept., and nearly 30 years of proven results, we were contacted to help find an interim solution while Zilker Park undergoes a vision planning process to build a new, long-term plan for the park. • We will operate the Zilker Eagle with proceeds benefiting parks across Austin, while the community has a chance to determine how the train fits into the new vision for the park and its future. Mural Selection Process Mural Selection Process • • Proposals were requested from April-May of 2021 and shared with artist collectives such as HOPE, SprayTX, and Raasin in the Sun, and with art and park partners as well as shared via APF's website, social media and a press release. • APF received about 20 proposals, and scored them based on our internal rubric which took into account the artists' identity (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, gender, etc.) as well as the artists' past work and experience, and how well their proposal addressed the stated goals of the work - namely including community members of all backgrounds, bridging the gap between old and new Austin, and a demonstrated understanding of the audiences this piece should appeal to. • Once scored, the top 10 were then ranked by a broad swath of community members including APF board and staff, volunteers, park adopters, community partners, and Austin youth with a focus on bringing in the perspectives …
