Describe the qualities, experience, expertise and abilities that you possess that would make you an effective Art in Public Places board member that will act in the public interest. I am passionate about the arts. I connect well with others and enjoy collaborating to meet goals and objectives. The qualities I possess are commitment, motivation and an exceptional work ethic. I have lived in Miami over 20 years and have seen the city grow culturally. This is an exciting time to be part of the Board for Art in Public Places. I am an active community volunteer and enjoy meeting residents and visitors to our great city. My experience as a business owner, visual designer, active community volunteer and a parent brings a strong, diverse perspective to the Board. 2. Describe your educational background and or general knowledge of the Arts. I received a Bachelors of Business Administration from the University of Miami. While receiving my degree in Finance and Marketing, I worked at an art gallery and custom framing business. I was fortunate to meet many local and international artists. I was technically trained and learned the Smithsonian standards for custom framing and art preservation. I represented the gallery as a buyer at local and international art and gift shows. When I started my fashion career in New York City, I spent my free time at galleries and museums throughout the city. I have incredible friendships with artists, designers and gallery owners. The past ten years I have worked in visual design at companies and for private clients. Keeping relevant in the art scene and with art and fashion trends has been imperative to the longevity and success of my career. Jill Tolan December 1, 2022 OFFICE. ,i 3. Describe any prior community or personal involvement that you may have had that demonstrates interest in the Visual Arts, Public Art or the Performing Arts. My personal involvement in the visual arts has been my career as a visual designer. I have worked independently and in large groups on various installations. I have received visual design awards for my independent work as well as awards for group projects. My interest is designing and presenting displays that are modern, youthful and aspirational. I am interested in creating displays that bring people together for discussions and learning about other thoughts and perspectives. I was a former actor and model so have considerable interest and appreciation for the performing arts. 4. What is it about the Art in Public Places Board that is compatible with your experience and of specific interest to you, and why? Being a member of the Art in Public Places Board is compatible with my experience as it merges my enthusiasm and background in the arts along with my interest and appreciation of meeting and working with new people and cultures. I am interested in bringing art into the community for everyone to see and enjoy. Art can be used as a vehicle to bring our community together. I feel we need more understanding and acceptance in our world. Art can bring happiness and laughter. Being part of the Board is of specific interest to me as I enjoy working on projects and installations that causes people to stop and think or reflect about it. Art has accomplished its goal if it provokes interest, imagination or creativity to all that experience it. To be part of a team that is responsible for providing artistic moments throughout our city would be an absolute honor. 5. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Public Art Board achieve, and why? How would you suggest accomplishing this? I would like to see the Board have more community input and participation with the projects. Miami reflects a diverse spectrum of beliefs, cultures, and traditions. The Board is a small group, I feel they need to hear increased input and participation from the community. This can be accomplished by increasing outreach to specific communities, involving youth groups and non -profits. I believe in the future and collaborating and involving schools, local youth centers and social networks brings a Jill Tolan December 1, 2022 CFF'JCr .- new and fresh perspective. It connects art to the life and energy of the city. Involving the community and being interested in the opinions of our youth can open doors and opportunities about art and culture to individuals that might not have had the opportunity to experience it previously. Experiencing and discussing art, added with the benefits of getting outside to witness it, are a win -win scenario for residents and visitors of all ages.
