GIBNEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR January 27, 2009 South Bend Common Council Fourth Floor Council Chambers 400 County-City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Dear Council Member: The attached bill for your consideration and approval will appropriate $59,850.00 from the General Grant Fund (fund # 250) to carry out the purpose of the original grant from the Goheen Trust, namely to create and support Art in Public Spaces in the City. These funds were originally granted for various public art uses, but $59,850 remains. The intended uses include approximately $9,850 in additional art work in Jon Hunt Plaza in front of the Morris Performing Arts Theatre and $50,000 to the Community Foundation in support of the year-long exhibit of South Bend native George Rickey's sculpture on the sidewalks of downtown. Rickey is an internationally known kinetic sculptor whose work combines the technical expertise of an engineer with an artist's vision to celebrate fluidity and movement. The exhibit is an extremely exciting event for our community and was conceived through the collaboration of the South Bend Museum of Art, the Snite Museum of Art, the Community Foundation, and the City of South Bend. We look forward to your approval of this ordinance. Please note, these funds cannot be used for general government purposes, only to support art in public places. Either Jeff Gibney or I will present this bill at your February 23`d meeting. If you have any questions, please call Jeff at 235-9375 or me at 235-9330.
