Leander Public Art Commission: 2019

den suggests imaginative benches that could explore

the history of the area and the excitement of reading.

e theme chosen this year is ‘Texas Tales and

Journeys.’

Leander is a small town with a big past. A Texas trail

town that saw prehistoric travelers, historic gures

and felt the impact of the railroad. It is a growing

town, set at the edge of Texas hill country, that has

seen much... dreams, conicts, ambition, excitement,

change. Imagination.

e Leander Public Art Commission (LPAC) is a part

of the Leander Parks and Recreation Commission.

e mission of the LPAC is to provide regional, cul-

tural, and educational enrichment opportunities that

encourage, support, and promote the performing and

visual arts.

1. Because the rst phase of these benches will be located out doors in the small courtyard/sculpture garden

at the public library, there are clearly some size and materials limitations. e bench ideally would permit

3 people to sit on it. e landscaping in the courtyard allows for some shelter from winds, but wind in the

hill country is a factor. At this point a generalized idea of the design and the materials is desired, although

building materials and accommodations are helpful.

2. Time is also a factor. Although these dates will not permit an abundance of time, there is sucient time

to for completion of the benches.

3. e artist will be responsible for transporting the works, the Commission will work with the artist to

prepare the site. e total sum of the Semi- Finalist winners will be$200. e total sum the Finalists will

receive is an additional $8000. $4000 upon designation and $4000 upon installation.

4. Although we are including images of the site, the artist is encouraged to visit both the Leander Public

Library virtual site (https://www.leandertx.gov/library) as well as the actual site, 1011 S. Bagdad Leander,
