Describe your educational background and or general knowledge of the Arts. I have a BA in Media Communications with a Minor in Studio Arts and emphasis in film and vldeo(art). Early in my studies I conducted an international art history study in Europe including London, Munich, and Paris. As a non-traditional student in her thirties, I worked with acclaimed video artist Van McElwee as his assistant on projects ranging from large-scale installations to major grant writing. While working at the Saint Louis Art Museum programming events to support special exhibitions and the permanent collection, I was accepted into the Regional Arts Commission's (RAC) Community Arts Training Institute, which paired social service professionals with artists to enhance existing arts programs and create new ones. My position with Arts in Transit, a Federal public art program, allowed me to work on community collaborations with schools, senior centers, national and international artists, poets, and the general public. I have worked in the arts for over thirty years, half of that time dedicated specifically to public art. 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. Professionally and personally, I've been involved in the arts throughout my life as a dancer, multi -media artist, traditional musician, board member, and co-organizer of large-scale multidisciplinary art events. I acted as Vice -President of New Music Circle, the longest presenting organization of New Music in the country (over fifty years), sat on the founding board of Illuminate Coral Gables, and have exhibited public art and fine art through established galleries and non-profit organizations. in addition, t have participated as a reviewer on numerous grant panels for funding of arts organizations including the Regional Arts Commission in St. Louis, Missouri, the Miaml-Dade Department of Cultural Affairs; the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and most recently co-founded the Corral and Cathers Artist Fund to support professional artists. I am a current volunteer for the New World Symphony on Miami Beach and supporter of numerous arts organizations through memberships and annual giving. 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? Public Art has been part of my professional and personal life for many years. I've acted as administrator, artist, and will bring a unique and well-rounded perspective as an Art in Public Places Board member. I have experienced the value public art brings to communities by providing a sense of pride and belonging, while generously adding economic worth to property - in addition to the value adds or cultural tourism a[1d-'repeat visits. As a long-time Miami resident, I want to contribute my professional and personal knowledge, joy, experience, and expertise to further tii§vitalit9fof life in Miami through the arts. r^ ; 5. If appointed, what specific goals would you like to see the Public Art Board achieve, and w }iow:would you suggest accomplishing this? r- c,o One goal I would like to see is greater community involvement Whether it's through direct interaction and art making with protessitlrtal argil? or through innovative ways to share information about the benefits of public art. When the community is involved, the ability to transform and revitalize a place greatly increases. My suggestion is to engage with established cultural organizations or events and work together on visioning goals to enhance the direction of public art opportunities. I would also like to see greater didactic programming related to the public artwork and encourage new technology initiatives to keep pace with industry standards and to relate to younger audiences.

Prior to that I was the Historical Resources and Cultural Arts Director. In that capacity I worked very closely with Catherine Cathers and have known her for fifteen years. She is the Arts and Culture Specialist for the City of Coral Gables and staffs the Coral Gables Cultural Development Boards and Arts Advisory Panel. She managers the Art in Public Places Program and is the Administrator for the Cultural Grants Program for the City. It is because of Catherine that the City of Coral Gables has received event recognition by Art Basel since 2016. She has also been recognized by the City as Employee of the Month. She is the ultimate multitasker and was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely competent — organized, passionate and knowledgeable about art. Now, as a resident of Coral Gables, I eagerly watch for the latest art acquisitions knowing that Catherine has it all under control. She's wonderful with the residents and the elected officials which is sometimes not easy. In summary, I highly recommend Catherine Cathers for the City of Miami Art in Public Places Board. She will definitely be a valuable asset to the Board and I am proud to call her my friend. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Dona M.

Given all the hurdles involved I am constantly in awe of her ability to efficiently move challenging projects forward with immense respect for all parties and budgets.

I am a passionate collector of art and antiques and in 2001 I discovered Alhambra Antiques in Coral Gables. There I met Olga Granda, its director, with whom I have remained in contact for more than 20 years. Throughout those years I have relied on Olga to be my trusted advisor in my personal art collecting as well as managing various house renovation projects in my historic house. The purpose of this letter is to convey my recommendation for Olga's appointment to the Art in Public Places Board for the City of Miami. Olga is very knowledgeable in the visual arts with a refined eye for all things aesthetic. Her experience as well as her personal traits would make her a great asset to any public board, but particularly this one. I urge you to appoint her as we will all benefit from her service to our city. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding my support of Olga's appointment. incerely, JOCAYIVCD084-Aki an Van Dusen, Esq.
