At the City of Missoula, we work every day to ensure that our place remains a “place” - unique, interesting, comfortable and filled with character. Our public art is one of the ways we keep Missoula a great place. From turning gray traffic-

signal boxes into community canvases to dedicating a portion of every new municipal building’s budget to an art element, our actions reflect our dedication to the visual arts as an important part of Missoula’s environment.

This guide is designed to help you explore that dedication and confirm our commitment to public art. Missoula’s Public Art Committee deserves credit and recognition for commissioning many of these works and serving as stewards to these community assets.

Please enjoy these works of art and our unique place.

PuBLiC ARt in MISSOULA

heARt Of MISSOULA By hADLey feRGUSOn e.S. PAxSOn MURALS

Places aren’t just a function of physical geography, they are defined by the conversation

between land and people and the culture that emerges from the two. And in Missoula, Montana, public art is woven into the fabric that defines this place in the northern Rockies.

Bisected by the Clark Fork River, rimmed by the bunch grass-carpeted north hills, Mt. Jumbo, Mt. Sentinel, and the Bitterroot Range, Missoula lies at a crossroads for peoples and cultures that date back to the receding waters of Glacial Lake Missoula. The Bitterroot Salish fished in the Clark Fork and dug for bitterroot where the present-day University of Montana campus sits. Native peoples passed through this valley enroute to buffalo hunting grounds east of the continental divide. And in the late 1800s and early 1900s, two great transcontinental railroads—the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee Road—traversed Missoula. A crossroads.

Entranced by the geography of this place, Missoula has become a magnet for all manner of artists—be they literary, performing, or visual. They’ve left us, and continue to leave

us, a legacy of art. And much of it has been public art.

On a cold spring morning, I walk with my kids through Greenough Park, just north

of downtown Missoula and a couple blocks from my home. Along the popular bike/pedestrian trail and adjacent to Rattlesnake Creek, we pass a boulder adorned with a mosaic of bull trout—a once plentiful species in the Clark Fork River watershed that is now struggling to survive. Public art—evocative, tactile, engaging, local, and part of the landscape.

From my downtown office window, I look down on Caras Park, where I frequently see kids playing on a bronze sculpture of fish swimming upstream through a maze of boulders. This piece (“Returning”), like the bull trout mosaic in Greenough Park, is both evocative of the natural world that we inhabit in western Montana and a component of our public art collection and collective consciousness in Missoula.

I serve on the Missoula City Council, and every time I walk down the hallway to the council chambers, I pass a large mural created by Seattle artist Mary Iverson. “Ponder” is a

Page 5: Missoula Public Arts Guide 2013

GUIDe tO MISSOULA’S PUBLIC ARt www.MISSOULAPUBLICARt.COM 5

work of modern art that through a series of connected lines and geometric forms captures the complex and oftentimes circuitous, sometimes frustrating, and always important and interesting process of crafting public policy and legislation. Upon entering the chambers, I’m surrounded by seven oil paintings of Missoula by Walter Hook. Our local legislative process is literally embedded in art.

The true value of public art lies in its lack of pretention. It inhabits public places, be it under the open

sky, in legislative chambers, or within our community’s many public gathering spots. Since 1985, the City of Missoula Public Art Committee (MPAC) has been a steward of and catalyzing force in the creation of public art in Missoula. In 2002, the city of Missoula took the bold step of passing a percent for art ordinance. This local legislation requires that the city dedicate 1% of the construction costs of all capital improvement projects—whether fire stations, parking garages, or renovations to the city council chambers—for public art. Between the percent for art ordinance and initiatives sponsored by the MPAC and partners, dozens of public art projects have blossomed across the city over the past two decades. Citizen- and artist-initiated

public art projects are critical to a vibrant arts community. To have the government bureaucracies charged with implementing public policy also embrace the importance of the arts is part of Missoula’s heritage. To have road engineers and public works departments embrace public art is even more exciting.

You’ve seen them before. Those battleship gray metal boxes located at signalized intersections, the guts

of which control traffic lights. They are the very same boxes found in any community with traffic signals. As components of transportation infrastructure, they serve their purpose, but hardly can be said to add to the cultural fabric of our community. That is, until the MPAC spearheaded the Missoula traffic signal box project. Twice a year, the MPAC puts out an art call for proposals to transform the signal boxes from stark artifacts of industry to beautiful and unique works of art. This project is emblematic of the very best in public art: proposals reviewed by a cross section of the public, funded by private and public partners, created in the public view in the open air under Montana’s big sky, and transforming something ordinary into something extraordinary. These boxes are like cairns, helping us navigate our way, physically and emotionally, across the Missoula Valley.

They are now indelibly associated with this place.

So whether it’s the University of Montana’s rich array of public art, pieces spearheaded by the

MPAC that infuse the community like jewels, or privately-initiated pieces that occupy public spaces, public art has been, currently is, and will remain in the future a defining part of Missoula. But what might the future of public art in Missoula look like? Among other things, it might mean creating a sculpture walk along our riverfront trail system or adding works of art at downtown street corners. It might mean expanding the breadth of public art beyond Missoula to outlying areas in Missoula County. It might mean creating a contemporary art plaza adjoining the Missoula Art Museum. In 2013, it will mean making our palette of public art pieces more accessible and easy to find through a recently released mobile phone app. It will also mean installation of the MPAC’s newest public art piece at the Park Place parking structure at the intersection of Pattee and Front streets: place at a crossroads, adjoining the route of the Mullan Military Road and near the Trail of the Buffalo.

Missoula would not be Missoula without public art. Enjoy it. Ponder it. Participate in it. And help create it. It’s yours.

GUIDe tO MISSOULA’S PUBLIC ARt www.MISSOULAPUBLICARt.COM6

In the summer of 2009, the City of Missoula Public Art Committee invited artists residing in Missoula

County to apply for a public art project to create art on traffic signal boxes located throughout Missoula. The local signal boxes serve as the “canvases,” with the resulting artwork enhancing community and enriching the visual surroundings for years to come.

The TSB Project is a collaborative effort with the City of Missoula Public Works Department, the Montana Department of Transportation, the Missoula Redevelopment Agency, the Missoula Business Improvement District, the Missoula Police Department, Neighborhood Councils, local businesses, and individuals. Artists completed 32 of 72 total signal boxes as of May 2013.

go with the fLOw

When Mike Golins forged “Go with the Flow,” a new sculpture for downtown Missoula, the

artist did so in a studio off the Blackfoot River.

The piece, which stands 20 feet tall at its highest point, tells the story of changing water, an element the metalworker and schoolteacher knows speaks deeply to people in Missoula. “We fish on rivers, tube them, even,” he said, “learn life lessons from their currents.”

“This is a great opportunity because it’s such a big sculpture, and it’s downtown, and

it’s in the public eye,” Golins said.Golins grew up in Denver and Jensen,

Utah, and he learned the craft of welding in high school. He earned a degree in music composition from the University of Mon-tana, and he teaches at Sussex School.

Gollins’s design for “Go with the Flow” came out of a City of Missoula Public Art Committee call for artwork for the city’s new Park Place parking garage, and Golins, who has spent weeks on rivers, in nature, looked forward to putting it together.

It’s a rolling wave that pours into a crash-ing one that flows into an eddy, and the

entire structure points from downtown Missoula to the Clark Fork River.

“It’s creating this flow that’s moving down toward the river, literally,” Golins said.

It’s also public artwork downtowners can walk under, and if it strikes just the right chord, be reminded of some of the primal forces of nature. Before Golins created the design, he talked with Sussex kindergartners about it. The piece also is one children can play in. It even has one part they can turn to get a sense of the sound of water in motion.

“It’s got all these little marbles in it, and it creates a sound like a rain stick,” Golins said.

13 JoHn viCHorekUntitled, Concrete murals, ca. 1971.

Vichorek created the 26’ high concrete façade of the Mansfield Library. In his garage in Florence, MT, he carved large styrofoam panels into bas relief designs featuring naturalistic elements. In the winter of 1971, the panels were cast flat at the construction site. The finished panels formed the outer wall of the library, completed in 1973.

31toM riPPonThe Magnificent Tree of the Arts,

Ceramic mural, 1996. Rippon joined the UM faculty in 1989 and was department chair from 1991 to 1997 and briefly in 2004 before retiring in 2008. The Magnificent Tree of the Arts was created by manipulating individual components in wet clay; carving, sawing and sanding dry clay. Rippon used acrylic paints, pencil, underglaze and lusters for coloration.

32rudy AutioUntitled, Ceramic mural, 1953. Born

in Butte, Autio served for two years in the Navy during World War II. Following the war, he studied art at MSU in Bozeman on the GI Bill. There he met Peter Voulkos. In 1952, the two became the founding resident artists at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena. While at the Bray, Autio executed several ceramic mural commissions across the state, including this one.

11dAvid seCrestInfrastructure, Fabricated steel

and wrought iron, 1996. Secrest continually experiments with the refinement and manipulation of the structure of metal to create surfaces which are characterized by tessellated tiles and patterned designs. Since 1978, he has maintained a permanent and full-time metal sculpture studio in Somers, Montana.

36 JAy lABerCharging Forward, Mixed media,

2002. Charging Forward depicts the traditional “Hoop Game.” Bridging modern reservation life with cultural traditions of the past, Laber used car parts dating back to the 1940s and 1950s salvaged from backyards and fields on the reservation to create his sculpture. Laber is a professor at Salish Kootenai College in Pablo.

43 rudy AutioSignal, Concrete and ceramic, 1996.

This work differs from Autio’s better-known figurative ceramic work, represented elsewhere on campus, but is important nonetheless. A concrete monolith entitled Signal, it is an investigation into pure form, material and abstraction. Autio was the founder of the UM ceramics department, and served as head of the department and professor for twenty-eight years.

16steve ConnellFlight, Steel with copper paint patina,

1996. Connell was Professor of Art at UM from 1976 to 2005 and Chair of the department from 1996-1999. A versatile sculptor, Connell worked in a variety of mediums, including ceramics, wood, lead and steel. His large scale sculpture Flight represents a body of work which features suspended geometric forms balanced on a narrow point.

14dAvid PledgeThree Vessels, Stoneware, 2001

Conceived of as ‘architectural’ vessels, these large scale ceramic pots are typical of Pledge’s technique and craftsmanship. Pledge received his MFA from UM in 1999, where he had the opportunity to work with professors Beth Lo and Tom Rippon, as well as the University’s anagama kiln in the Lubrecht Experimental Forest.

10 JoHn viCHorekTeepee Burner, Welded steel, ca. 1970-

71. Vichoreck moved to Missoula, Montana to study sculpture and design with Rudy Autio. While a student, Vichorek created the iconic Teepee Burner sculpture, which was originally sited at the center of the Oval on The University of Montana’s campus.

What does the Public Art Committee do? The Public Art Committee endeavors to develop a collection of public art that is of the highest quality, that encompasses a broad aesthetic range reflecting the City and the minds of its citizens, improves the quality of life in the area, accessible to all individuals, and is a source of pride to all residents. The Public Art Committee seeks to develop the Percent for Art Program and the associated collections in such a way so that it is intimately integrated into the fabric of the City of Missoula and reflects a broad range of community input and involvement by artists and art professionals. The Public Art Committee is responsible for reviewing, advocating, and developing public art projects in the public domain for the City of Missoula. It develops a formal structure in which to create, develop, and maintain public art as well as further public accessibility to the arts.

Who is on the committee? The Public Art Committee consists of nine members serving four-year terms. Members are selected because of their expertise in historical preservation, visual arts, architecture, or affiliation with a local business association or public entity. Six members are appointed by the Mayor with the advice of the Public Art Committee, two members appointed by the City Council and one member is a member of the Missoula City Council. Current members are: Dana Boussard, Caitin Copple (Council Liaison), Peter Lambros, Joan Jonkel (Committee Chair), Douglas Olson, Kathi Olson, David Nelson, Linda Richards, Jeff Rolston-Clemmer.

i’m interested in Public Art. should i attend a PAC meeting?

Yes, as a member of the community, you’re welcome to come to monthly meetings held on the third Tuesday of the month at 4:00PM in the Jack Reidy Conference Room, 140 W. Pine. For more information contact the Department Liaison, Mayor’s Office at (406) 552-6001, or email the Public Art Committee at [email protected]

for current information including PAC Agendas and Minutes, please go to:

www.ci.missoula.mt.us/index.aspx?NID=438

When was the Missoula Public Art Committee started?

The Missoula Public Art Committee was formed in 1985 by Mayor John Toole as a committee designated to review, advocate and develop public art projects in the public domain for the city of Missoula. It was reaffirmed on December 23, 2002 as a standing city committee.

What is the 1% for art ordinance? An ordinance creating Chapter 2.94 of Missoula Municipal Code entitled “Public Arts” established a Percent for Art program to include works of art within certain city projects, set procedures to commission and select public art, requiring 1% of eligible construction costs of City capital improvement projects paid wholly or in part by the City of Missoula to construct or remodel any public or city building, structure, park or any portion thereof to be allocated for public art and providing a funding source for ongoing maintenance of Public Art and prescribing procedure for deaccession of public art.

What are the objectives of the Percent for Art Program?

• Develop a public art program that is unique to Missoula.

• Increase the understanding and enjoyment of public art by Missoula residents.

• Invite public participation in the interaction with public spaces.

• Provide unusual and challenging employment opportunities for artists.

• Encourage collaborations between artists and architects, and artists and engineers.

• Support artist participation on design teams for planning public projects.

• Encourage a variety of art forms: temporary and permanent, object and event, single or dispersed locals.

• Spread commissions among a wide number or artists and strive for overall diversity in style, scale and intent.

How are public art projects funded?Public Art projects are funded through the 1% for Art program, special project funds, grants, and private donations. The Committee does not receive any monies from the City of Missoula’s general fund, department budgets, licensing, or permitting fees.

How do i find out about Public Art Committee art calls?

Periodically the Public Art Committee seeks artists to design and construct artwork for public buildings and grounds. Go to www.ci.missoula.mt.us/index.aspx?NID=899 to see the list of current art calls. At this location you can also sign up to receive future notifications when the city’s Public Art Committee is requesting proposals for public art pieces in Missoula.

GUIDe tO MISSOULA’S PUBLIC ARt www.MISSOULAPUBLICARt.COM 3 1

How does the Public Art Committee decide who is eligible for art calls?The Public Art Committee has three methods of determining

eligibility:

• Open Art Call: open to all artists in a specified area.

• Limited Art Call: open to a limited number of artists who have been invited to participate based on their expertise in a desired area.

• Direct Purchase/Commission: a specific individual invited to create artwork for a site based on their expertise in a desired area.

How does the Public Art Committee select artworks?

The Public Art Committee establishes a Selection Committee that includes representation from City Departments or public agencies (if applicable), donors (both public and private), neighborhood representatives (both business and residential), project architectural group (where applicable) and the Public Art Committee members.

i have a business and would like to have some public art at my business location. Can the Public Art Committee provide guidance or funding?

The Public Art Committee is available to provide guidance to the private sector in developing a public art project. Although the Public Art Committee has no standing budget, the Committee has worked hand-in-hand with the private sector to develop “public-private partnership projects.”

i have a public art idea – can the Public Art Committee help me?

Anyone can present a project idea to the Public Art Committee. The Committee may provide guidance in varying degrees or may vote to implement the project based on available resources.

What is the selection criteria for artwork?The selection criteria changes with each project. In general, the Public Art Committee expects that artwork be of the highest quality in both concept and execution, while recognizing public safety and durability. The Committee encourages proposals that balance the artistic design in the artwork with the setting of the designated area. When developing proposals, artists typically consider specific themes, the design aesthetics of an associated building, the traffic flow and use of the building and/or site.
