Project: Highland Park AIPP Project • Artist(s): Samara Barks Phase: Final Design Sponsoring Department: PARD Project Budget: 57,100 Council District: 4 Project Manager: Bryana Iglesias • • • • • • AIPP PANEL MEETING AGENDA ITEM #6 DATE: 1.13.25 Highland Neighborhood Park & Reznicek Fields Art in Public Places Project FINAL-DESIGN REVIEW Samara Barks COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT I wanted to connect the origins of the park space with the community that surrounds and interacts with it today. To begin, I spoke with Mr. Edward Reznicek, himself, to delve into the history of the park, what it's original purpose was and how he became the namesake. In 1970 University Hills Optimist Club was in search of land to develop for youth sports. Later that year, after petitioning the Austin city council, the UHO, along with parents, friends and local community, gathered funds, broke ground and set off to construct the fields. For the past 50 years, the UHO has facilitated youth baseball, kickball, football and soccer. Mr. Reznicek, a retired architect, who helped spearhead the park project, had the space aptly named after him by the UHO members, parents and community involved. “At it's peak UHO operations hosted over 1000 youth yearly and has provided millions of hours of manpower to accomplish these efforts.” -Edward Reznicek 2 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT RESULTS I took the history of the park, dictated to me by Mr. Reznicek, and created a mural showing the reason behind the park's creation. From the collected community stories, I created a shadow box that focuses on the diversity of the current residents and some of the important and fun facts about the Highland neighborhood and history. The whole piece is created to be an interactive gathering place for all that use the park. It's situated right across from the playground to foster interaction among neighbors. The seating area provides shade as well as place for neighbors to sit and view the art around the whole structure. The entire piece is accented with smaller murals of flora and fauna from central Texas. 3 DESIGN I feel I've created a piece that is visually appealing as well as interactive and functional. Currently, the park doesn't have much seating or shade. My piece offers both. Here is my concept for an art piece that offers a space to rest, take in the new additions at the park, as well as tell some of the …
• Project: South Lamar Corridor Project • Artist(s): Wanda Montemayor • Phase: Final Design Review • Sponsoring Department: Transportation and Public Works Department • Project Budget: $116,000 • Council District: District 5 & 9 (Artwork will reside in District 9) • Project Manager: Ryan Runcie AIPP PANEL MEETING AGENDA ITEM #9 DATE:1/13/20 25 SOUTH LAMAR CORRIDOR AIPP FINAL REVIEW Artist: Wanda Montemayor Budget: $116,000 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT REVIEW May, 2022 Two virtual meetings were held. Dec, 2022 A meeting specifically for local residents and businesses. Guests were prompted with these guiding questions: • What are some things that represent South Lamar to you? • What are your favorite stories or historical landmarks? • Are you interested in volunteering with tile making or with the mosaic? A large portion of Wanda Montemayor’s community engagement happens during fabrication. She plans to invite community members of all demographics to use specified clay molds, scribe messages into wet clay, and learn about her communally creative practice. Sept, 2023 Family Day at Umlauf Sculpture Garden Wanda created approximately 100 ceramic flowers with about 100 community members and families during a workshop held at the Umlauf. The flowers will be utilized in the final installation and serve as inspiration for the to-scale 18" x 18" maquette. Nov, 2023 Fabrication of maquette frames Community members joined at the Community Arts studio to design and fabricate ceramic maquette frames. Respected ceramic artist Lisa Orr joined to help guide the designs. The maquette will highlight the differences between the framed stories and the hill country-inspired landscape in the background. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT REVIEW Nov, 2023 Open House at Community Arts studio Community members joined at the Community Arts studio where people shared their South Austin stories while making tiles that will be integrated into the project. Dec, 2023 Austin Mosaic Guild community outreach / engagement Regional mosaic artists will engage with local area artists to create tiles and hear stories and history about South Austin. At our discretion, we may conduct additional tile-making workshops in the community at future dates. ARTWORK NARRATIVE The mural moves like the rapid expansion of the downtown Aus7n area toward the South through the turn of the century. Exploring the last century in South Aus7n to the present day, we find a wealth of musical history from musicians to shops to venues. But before that, South Lamar was an important commerce route for moving goods, caCle, …

•Project: Elisabet Ney Museum Grounds •Artist: TBC •Phase: Artist Selection Recommendation •Sponsoring Department: Parks & Recreation •Project Budget: $100,000 •Council District: District 9 •Project Manager: Lindsay Hutchens Arts Commission Meeting Agenda Item #7 Date: 12/16/2024 Elisabet Ney Museum Grounds Project Background The Elisabet Ney Museum is the former studio and portrait collection created by 19th century sculptor Elisabet Ney. The museum offers a range of educational programs, exhibits, special events, workshops and lectures throughout the year. Receiving 21,000 visitors each year from local, national, and international locations the Elisabet Ney Museum is located in historic Hyde Park. Hyde Park traces its origins back to 1891 and is considered to be Austin's first suburb. In 1892, European portrait sculptress Elisabet Ney (1833-1907) purchased property in Austin, established a studio named Formosa and resumed her career as a sculptor of notables. At Formosa, Ney sculpted legendary Texans, including Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston. Ney also assembled at her American studio portraits of European notables, including King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Otto von Bismarck, Arthur Schopenhauer and Jacob Grimm. At the turn of the 19th century, Elisabet Ney’s studio became a gathering place for influential Texans drawn to “Miss Ney” and to the stimulating discussions of politics, art and philosophy that took place there. Following Ney’s death, her friends preserved the studio and its contents as the Elisabet Ney Museum and established the Texas Fine Arts Association dedicated to her memory. The Museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places based on its significance as the former American studio of Elisabet Ney, and a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios program. The property is also designated as a Texas State Antiquities Landmark, a Texas Recorded Landmark, a City of Austin Landmark, and listed as a contributing site to the Hyde Park National Register Historic district and the Hyde Park Local Historic District.
