FROM Brenda Williamson, Coordinator sua.,ccT Report on Selection of Artist
Arts in Public Places Committee for Little Havana Community
Center
.ZL '/
This report is a continuation of my report, dated March 20, 1980,
addressed to Joseph R. Grassie, City Manager at the time.
Since March 1980, following the approval of the Arts in Public
Places Committee report by the City Manager and by the City Commission,
the following art works were contracted for to be placed in the
Little Havana Community Center, located at 970 SW First Street,
Miami, Florida:
1. Four drawings of street scenes, executed and in
place by Fred Albert, for an amount of $2,000.
2. A large weaving, currently being fabricated, by
Arlyn Ende, for an amount of $6,500.
The total budget for art work for this project was $14,763 and
with the expenditure of the above amounts, a balance of $6,260
(rounded) was available for other works of art.
The Arts in Public Places Committee have considered the works of
numerous artists since March for appropriate works of art for the
Little Havana Community Center whose cost would not exceed the
remaining art budget balance.
On November 20, 1980, the Committee reviewed the works of some
30 artists mainly by slides of their works and presentations by
five artists, including works and slides by the Scull sisters.
On January 22, 1981, the Committee decided that the street scene
presently hanging in the corridor of the City Hall at Dinner Key
would be an appropriate acquisition for placement in the Meeting
Room of the Little Havana Community Center, provided that its
cost was within the budget. The Scull sisters were contacted and
they advised that the selling price was $4,800.

On February 19, 1981, the Committee agreed that the price was
reasonable and passed a motion recommending that the City purchase
the work for the amount of $4,800 and that an amount not to exceed
$1,200 be used in addition to cover the work with plexiglass and
to insure that it was properly hung and secure.
The Arts in Public Places Committee recommends that you approve
this report and submit it for discussion at the next regular
meeting of the City Commission.
