11:30 AM City of Smyrna Smyrna Public Art Committee Meeting 2800 King Street SE HR Training Room Page 3 of 7 Anna Talarico displayed both proposals on the screen. Carson Haynie explained that one of the two smaller mural locations is larger than the other, and the Committee will need to determine which design will be assigned to each location. Anna Talarico reminded the Committee that the artist will use StreetBond for this project and that the cost of the product is not included in the artist honorarium. Carson Haynie explained that the smaller of the two mural locations will have a $1,250 honorarium, while the larger location will have a $1,750 honorarium. • Small Mural Location #1 – Anna Talarico displayed an image of the location for the Committee. This location was identified as the larger of the two mural locations. The Committee selected Ruggery Sanchez’s “Square A” design, featuring a piano, music, and a child, for this location. Committee members noted that the design was a perfect fit for the square due to its relevance to the adjacent play area. • Small Mural Location #2 – Anna Talarico displayed an image of the location for the Committee.
