2 No public comment received. Motion to approve the minutes was made by Committee Member Hawthorne and seconded by Committee Member Djokic. Motion carried unanimously. 5B. Consideration of the 2023 Mural Festival Requests for Proposal Jams: Clark thought had not demonstrated much experience as curators; Peters liked how well they responded to the RFP, liked that Ybarra of Wahini was involved; Shelby Hawthorne felt might not have contacts to high level artists, looked like they could organize it well however; Michelle D: hopes they could get mentorship by the group that is chosen; Greg Hawthorne – felt not experienced enough. Heartspace: Committee Member Greg Hawthorne - liked their experience in Sand City; Committee Member Peters - unclear to her who were all the many people referenced in the submission and what were they all were going to do; Committee Member Clark - felt they should just have been straight forward about this being Pat Milberry, referenced problems with Mural Festival last year; Committee Member Shelby Hawthorne - likes that Erin from Monterey Arts Committee involved; likes that it’s a big group; confused why Pat Milberry’s name is not mentioned; Committee Member Djokic - liked that Pat Milberry was recognizing he needed help after last year but the proposal had too many people involved; Committee Member Greg Hawthorne - not concerned how Pat uses his team; the committee should focus on whether the groups have contacts, which this group seems to; Committee Member Peters - few answers in the submission, leaving lots of questions. Unclear who is in charge. She mentioned a “frustrating” series of experiences at the prior we Mural Festival. Branded Arts: Committee Member Clarke - liked their fresh look; Committee Selby Hawthorne - look professional/ have contacts, a good option; Committee Member Djokic - projects impressive; speak to community; message of empowerment; liked the “Community-binding agent” Committee Member Peters - prefers when art is not political, feels adds fuel to the fire; thinks they had a beautiful response to the RFP tough but maybe a bit “vanilla”; Committee Member Djokic agreed regarding no political messaging. Committee Member Greg Hawthorne - they seem like professionals; probably well organized; but the city is more home-grown art fest. Talking Walls: Committee Member Clark - not his top choice Committee Member Shelby Hawthorne - concern only 2 people Committee Member Peters - her number 1 choice; very clear they will make it happen. Realistic and responsive Committee Member Greg Hawthorne - definitely amongst his top 3, looks good Committee Member Djokic - unclear Mobile Lab 6

3 Committee Member Clark - liked that have a fine arts background; would bring a fresh perspective; is the least commercial of all submittals Committee Member Shelby Hawthorne - they are different – but not as far reaching as some of the others; connection in LA but maybe not outside Committee Member Djokic - his team included people from Denver; likes the concept; likes its community oriented; but not clear on the visions Committee Member Peters - concerned about Adidas as sponsor. Felt that they “got” the assignment though. Feels they will not fail. Committee Member Greg Hawthorne - saw no finished large murals in submission; LA a different place; did not make top of his list. The Arts Committee voted on their top three, then re-voted their top two. Brian suggested bringing two back to meet with the Arts Committee and pick one after talking to them. The Arts Committee agreed; top two selected were Branded Arts and Talking Walls. 6. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned approximately 6:40pm. 7

A B O U T U S Talking Walls Art is an art studio without walls, which means our canvases are anywhere and everywhere-- the only walls we have to claim are yours! From gritty metropolis city streets to Small Town America, we're on a mission to transform any space, city, or town into a vibrant, beautiful work of art. Talking Walls Art is made up of a scrappy husband and wife duo who share a passion for bringing art to the streets with the notion that ART IS FOR EVERYONE! Cameron, with his boundless creativity (walking the line between crazy and genius), has over twenty years of mural experience, five years of curating mural festivals, and no shortage of great ideas. Crystal, a former middle school teacher, brings her love for art and indefinable skillset, that of only a middle school teacher (to quote Liam Neeson, "but what I do have are a very particular set of skills"), as well as her love for order and organization. Together, the two along with their giant network of fellow artists (which also happen to all be really good humans) have not just transformed towns, but are slowly transforming the perception of graffiti and street art. MURAL FESTIVAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Prepared by C.Moberg, 05/2023 1 WWW.TALKINGWALLS.ART P R O J E C T I N T E N T The City of Sand City and the Sand City Arts Committee is seeking a curator for the city's fourth annual WE. MURAL FESTIVAL IV to be held in October of 2023. Sand City aims to organize a mural event that fosters collaboration between local artists from Monterey and/or Santa Cruz Counties and national and/or international artists. The intended audience for this event is the local community, encompassing people of all age groups. The City and Arts Committee are seeking curators with experience, innovation, and connection to the greater art community. info@talkingwalls.art www.talkingwalls.art @talkingwallsart 10

Prepared by C.Moberg, 05/2023 2 Q U A L I F I C A T I O N S Our experience in attracting, evaluating, and booking artists for art festivals began with our desire to support and pay our artist friends. Over time, we have expanded our network to include talented artists from around the world while ensuring they are also really good people. Our goal is to make sure everyone involved in our festivals, particularly our artists, feel comfortable, safe, and enjoy their time. To ensure those desired outcomes, we draft our own agreement with artists so we're all on the same page and that all there is left is to create! Our network of artists span the globe, from here in the States to Guatemala, Mexico and Canada to the Netherlands, South Korea, Australia, France, Argentina. For the 2023 We.Mural Festival IV, we hope to leverage our global network of artists to expand upon your previous festivals. Our aim is to curate a diverse group of artists whose styles and backgrounds will contribute to a unique and engaging festival experience. We continue to be energized and motivated by these talented artists who have offered such kind, positive feedback regarding our festivals. Through our social media accounts and simply by word of mouth, we find artists and after seven years of curating, artists now find us too. Our experience attracting sponsorships for established events has been successful in the past, particularly mobilizing business and building owners who are benefiting from having murals painted on their walls to tap into their own resources to at minimum prep their own walls. Other businesses have opted to provide accommodations for traveling artists, meals or snacks, or even lift rentals. We typically showcase logos on artist banners and share sponsors' via social media. And we are certainly open to implementing new ways other than our usual to highlight sponsors. For the WE. Mural Festival IV, and every other festival we've curated, we believe in striking a balance between local and international mural artists. It is essential to involve local artists as it helps build a sense of community and local pride. However, inviting artists from outside the area can add an exciting and unexpected outcome to the festival! One creative addition that we'd add to the Sand City Mural Festival experience would be to include a community street art hands-on workshop. Attendees can learn about the history of graffiti and street art led by our own very talented info@talkingwalls.art www.talkingwalls.art @talkingwallsart 11

M U R A L F E S T I V A L I N F O Below is a sample budget for our mural festivals. The budget is presented as two tiers with two options: one we are calling Project Share and the other, Mural-in- a-Box. Both, aptly named in my opinion! Project Share is the economical option, leaving room for an all-hands-on-deck approach. It's meant to rally community members to engage in the project by offering up time, skills and resources to get the job done. Illustrated in each tier is the part that we, the curators, would be responsible for (which are all the same for each tier except for the number of artists involved). Mural-in-a-Box is the all-inclusive option. We would essentially take care of everything relating to the artists and the art, as listed in each tier. By deduction, you can see what we would need from you and other community members should we go the Project Share route. For both tiers and both options, we have included a fun hands-on workshop for any and all who would like to join as long as it's in keeping with state regulations for gathering during the Covid-19 pandemic. Please note also, that for both tiers and both options, you would serve as the liaison between us and the building owners. You will establish your own agreements with building owners outlining expectations, as we do the same with the artists we hire. Additionally, we would need things like access to water, power, and some sort of hub to store our supplies and offer artists a place to use the restroom and take indoor breaks during the week of the festival. In the past we've used empty venues, workshare spaces, or conference rooms. IMPORTANT: Please also keep in mind, the budgets do not include prep, primer, protective clear coat or application of primer or clear coat. See Prepping & Sealing. 4 Prepared by C.Moberg, 05/2023 Generally speaking... info@talkingwalls.art www.talkingwalls.art @talkingwallsart 13

P R E P P I N G & S E A L I N G As mentioned, prepping the walls and sealing the murals are not included in the cost due to the variability of the project. When we better understand the scope of the project, we can determine what is needed. Pepping and priming, however, is generally the responsibility of the building owner. A clear protective coat is optional, but highly recommended for preserving murals. It protects against the elements while also making the mural washable in the event of vandalism. We are happy to suggest a good product and a how- to, or we can do it for you. Please let us know and we can put together an estimate when we have a better idea about wall sizes and about how many walls need to be covered. To give you an idea, if we are tapped to do this, we have a $500 set up fee, then it's $2/square foot for labor. The materials are separate and usually costs about $1/square foot, when using the suggested 2-3 coats. 5 Prepared by C.Moberg, 05/2023 info@talkingwalls.art www.talkingwalls.art @talkingwallsart 14

i n c l o s i n g . . . Curating mural festivals has become very dear to our hearts! It's been a joy to see towns, especially the apprehensive ones, respond so positively to murals! We look forward to meeting your community! We sincerely hope to demonstrate in more ways than one that we're incredibly grateful to do what we love. And it is with gratitude that we will always go above and beyond what's expected! We hope to dream big and do great things with you in the near very future! - Cameron and Crystal Moberg 8 info@talkingwalls.art www.talkingwalls.art @talkingwallsart 17
