An artist or a representative of each of the projects presented their plans to the commissioners during the two-hour meeting, conducted by chair Philip Newburn.<\/p>\n
The art commission, appointed by the city council, oversees implementation of the Fort Worth Public Art master plan.<\/p>\n
Carol Acedo of Invizion Design Inc. presented the final design for an art installation at Fire Station #43 on 2200 Walsh Ranch Parkway in far west Fort Worth. Acedo\u2019s design features backlit panels and LED lighting to complement her metal layered installations of a cow pasture scene with onlooking firefighters.<\/p>\n
Felici Asteinza and Joey Fillastre of Milagros Collective showed off their preliminary design for murals and other art pieces to become part of the fencing for a bridge on 425 W. Everman Parkway in south Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
Asteinza and Fillastre said they hope to include a community engagement activity as part of the project.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you\u2019re taking what\u2019s a pretty utilitarian space and turning it into something special, which is great,\u201d Commissioner Maggie Adler said. \u201cThat\u2019s what we want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karl Unnasch, who has produced installations mostly in Wisconsin and Minnesota, took part in the meeting virtually. He presented a preliminary design for art to be installed along Ray White Road from Kroger Drive to Bear Creek in far north Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
Unnasch said that, though his art installation will be made of glass, his plan includes extensive measures to help it withstand environmental conditions and vandalism.<\/p>\n
Kat Warwick presented her final design and also smaller scale examples of her stone sculpture plan for Fire Station #37 at 10600 Alta Vista Road in far north Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
