Sean Diamond Park
The City anticipates installing an artistic element as the focal point of this new
classically designed park. City Council has expressed interest in functional art, such as
a shade structure. The art budget for Sean Diamond Park public art is $42,000.
Clover Park
The City anticipates installing public art near the creek overlook, at the juncture of bike
and walking trails. There also will be a restroom building in the vicinity, suitable for a
mural. The art budget for Clover Park public art is $32,660.
As allowed by City of Dublin’s Public Art Master Plan, the City will use a combination of
artist selection methods (Invitational and Pre-Qualified), inviting site-specific design
proposals from a select group of artists. Artists will be chosen for invitation by ad hoc
Public Art Selection Committees. Art Selection Committees will reconvene at later date
to evaluate proposals and recommend a design to the Heritage and Cultural Arts
Commission.
Staff recommended to the City Council at its September 5 meeting that the members of
the Public Art Selection Committee consist of:
One representative from the Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission, to be
selected at the October 12 meeting;
One representative from the Parks and Community Services Commission, to be
selected at the October 16 meeting;
One representative from City of Dublin Parks Staff or the developer, to be
selected by the Director of Public Works;
Two Dublin residents who have volunteered to serve on public art selection
committees, to be selected by Staff with an eye toward diversity on the Public Art
Selection Committee and representation from the immediate neighborhood .
Alternates will be identified for each individual.
Staff anticipates the time commitment for the members of this committee to be limited to
two evening meetings. Every effort will be made to schedule the meetings at the mutual
convenience of the committee members. Each meeting is expected to last no more than
three hours.
