8 Design Committee agenda - walkaround 8-13-25

Design Committee Meeting August 13, 2025 11:45 a.m. Cendel Building 101 W. Loockerman St. Design Committee Meeting – Walkaround Downtown for Tiny Art Project AGENDA We will not meet in July, but rather each committee member is asked to: • Walk downtown (Loockerman Street and any one adjacent block in either direction - North or South of Loockerman) to find deferred maintenance conditions/blemishes viewable to the public that could be suitable for an artist to beautify. • Take a photo (or a couple) of the area(s) and note the location. The August 13 meeting will be a walkaround downtown to review what has been collected by the group. We will allow not more than 90 minutes for this walkaround. From this, we will determine most suitable (6 – 10) sites for the tiny art project. We have funds in hand to pay six artist $500 each, but we may want to promote more sites so that there are options for artists to consider. (In fact, we could even offer artists an opportunity to do a project pro bono, for those inclined to do so.) In preparation for the August 13 walkaround: • Send your images, each labeled with the location, in an email to me no later than Monday Aug. 11 so that we can devise a path for the walkaround to select the project sites. Next Meeting September 10 via Zoom The Design Committee encourages and enables improvements to buildings and enhancements to the downtown Dover business district through grant/incentive programs, public art, aesthetic amenities, and education on appropriate design principles to promote value of historic and cultural resources.
