Orange County Rape Crisis Center's 3Q"' Anniversary Art Protect Placement <br />The Board considered a temporary location, preferably the Southern Human <br />Services Building located in Chapel Hill, to house the 30t" Anniversary art project of the Orange <br />County Rape Crisis Center taking into consideration the location, security, safety, content <br />appropriateness and other issues related to the art project. <br />Martha Shannon with the Orange County Arts Commission introduced Sally <br />McKenzie, who came up with the idea of the project commemorating the 30t" anniversary of the <br />Orange County Rape Crisis Center. She wanted to do a temporary public art project in the <br />Southern Human Services Center. <br />Sally McKenzie is a volunteer and a former board member of the rape crisis center. <br />She said that they are requesting an art project at the Southern Human Services Center in <br />honor of the 30t" anniversary of the center. They are requesting the art project for the duration <br />of one year. The art piece is specifically commissioned for this event by a member of the board <br />of directors, Meredith Meyer. She has spoken with various department heads (Tara Fikes, <br />Rosemary Summers, Nancy Coston, Janet Sparks, and Captain Blackwood from the Sheriff's <br />Department}. All were in favor of the project, but did have some concerns, which are outlined in <br />the abstract. One concern was the blood red color, and an earth red was chosen to replace <br />that. They are requesting the art to be placed from April 1, 2004-April 1, 2005. <br />Commissioner Gordon verified that the work has not been completed yet. She asked <br />how the samples related. Sally McKenzie said that the first is a landscape. They want it to be a <br />piece about healing. It will be a collage. They are not focusing on sexual violence on the piece, <br />but on healing. The piece will be abstract. <br />Commissioner Brown asked haw they chose this. Sally McKenzie said that they <br />chose the Southern Human Services Center because the Southern Human Services Center has <br />so many different backgrounds coming in everyday. In addition, an art project can give a lot <br />with its abstractness and to relay that the center is a place for healing. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded Commissioner Brawn to <br />authorize staff to work with OCRCC to review and address the location, security, safety, content <br />appropriateness, and other issues related to the art project placement at the Southern Human <br />Services Center. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
