BACKGROUND Hank Kaminsky brought forward a public art donation submitted by the Omni Center for Peace and Justice for a sculpture to be located in the World Peace Wetland Prairie (WPWP). The proposed sculpture location is in the front of the WPWP property near the street. The bronze sculpture will be mounted in an earthen mound and visable to pedestrians. This item went to the Parks Board and the Arts Council for recommendations of approval. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on August 1, 2011 and voted to approve the sculpture 6-0-0. The Fayetteville Arts Council met on August 3, 2011 and voted to approve the proposed sculpture and location with a vote of 6-0-0. DISCUSSION This item requires City Council approval because the estimated donation value exceeds $5,000. Minutes from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Fayetteville Arts Council meetings have been included. BUDGET IMPACT None. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE DONATION OF A BRONZE SCULPTURE ENTITLED "CLOUD LANDSCAPE" BY HANK KAMINSKY AND TO THANK THE OMNI CENTER FOR PEACE, JUSTICE AND ECOLOGY FOR THIS DONATION WHEREAS, the Omni Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology has offered to donate a bronze sculpture entitled "Cloud Landscape" by Hank Kaminsky to the City of Fayetteville to be displayed in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie Park; and WHEREAS, the Omni Center and a donor will pay all the costs for this project to include the bronze sculpture and its proper installation in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie Park; and WHEREAS, both the Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Fayetteville Arts Council have recommended that the City Council approve this donated sculpture and its installation in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie Park. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS: Section 1: That the City Council of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas hereby gratefully accepts the donation by the Omni Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology of a bronze sculpture entitled "Cloud Landscape" by Hank Kaminski and agrees that this sculpture should be placed within the World Peace Wetlands Prairie Park. PASSED and APPROVED this 6th day of September, 2011. APPROVED: ATTEST: By: By: LIONELD JORDAN, Mayor SONDRA E. SMITH, City Clerk/Treasurer A proposal for the installation of a sculpture in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie This is a proposal for the donation, installation and maintenance of a sculpture in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie in South Fayetteville. The sculpture is being donated to the city by the Omni Center for Peace Justice and ecology for an anonymous donor. The Omni Center supported by contributions from the donor will prepare the site, install the sculpture with footings, earthworks and grass and will maintain the sculpture according to a schedule provided by the sculptor Hank Kaminsky. Description of the sculpture The sculpture is an installation composed of grass covered earth and a sculpted bronze relief. The work appears to be an upwelling of grassy soil with an inner spherical form, pushing upward and emerging from below. The bronze segment is covered with words, which are the words of the Peace Prayer: "May Peace Prevail on Earth" and are the same words as in the sculptors work in front of the Town Center off the Square in Fayetteville. It is not a segment of that sculpture but an independent work, which uses the same words. The attached drawings describe the sculpture in schematic teens.. The bronze sculpture itself is a product of the teaching process used to train sculptors making the Peace Prayer fountain in the sculptor's studio. The anonymous donor saw the work at Kaminsky's studio and requested to purchase the work and place it in the World Peace Wetlands Prairie with the sculptor's guidance. The Omni Center will act as the sponsor of the work. Ongoing maintenance is minimal and requires occasional observation and possible corrections of any erosion, which may take place in the course of time. The work will need no further maintenance. If a plaque is desired to identify the work the Omni Center will provide one. The Omni Center and the donor will provide the costs for this project. Cost for earth moving, concrete footing and support structure is estimated to be approximately $1,200.00. Sod or grass to cover the mound will be approximately $500. The city will not be asked to pay any of these costs.

I have worked as a test engineer at Hazeltine Electronics, American Bosch Arma Corp. and at S&M Products Corp. in N.Y.C. (where I helped design a golf playing machine). My interest in the technology of art is reflected in my work at the Cooper Union in NYC (where I was employed as the facilities manager for the sculpture and architecture technical studios from 1967-1970) and before that at Queens College where I served as ceramics technician while a student there. I operated a bronze foundry in my home and on one of my two European trips. Since 1971 I have been working with a technique I call "Sand -Matrix Design." An example of this technique can be seen in the sculpture "Miracle of the Double Helix" which I installed in 1997 in Little Rock at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and more recently the World Peace Prayer fountain sculpture as mentioned below. I put myself through art school in Philadelphia by operating a service for sculptors. I have helped to form several organizations including the Brooklyn Free Press (a printing shop in New York), the "Museum -A Project of Living Artists," (a very large cooperative gallery in New York in the late 60's), The Eureka Brotherhood Cooperative and The Eureka Springs Guild of Artists and Craftspeople, both in Eureka Springs, AR. I was a founding member and first Vice President of the Artists of Northwest Arkansas. My business experience includes The Great Eureka Forgery (research and marketing of sandcast metals), A Show of Hands, Inc. (a crafts gallery in Eureka Springs, AR) and the Kaminsky Limited Partnership (a gold and gemstone business) in the late 70's. From 1992 to 2001 my wife and I operated a community Art School in Fayetteville AR called "The Art Experience" which also housed her art therapy and counseling office, my sculpture studio and the sculpture services business. In 2001 I moved my studio to a new, much larger building, which I call "The Village Sculptor." In this 6000 square foot studio the World Peace Prayer fountain was produced. This spherical bronze fountain is covered with the words "May Peace prevail on Earth" and sits at the Town Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It was completed and installed on New Years Eve 2002. The studio now serves as a facility capable of both large and small productions. In 2004 1 completed a large scale fountain sculpture project for the Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, AR. Then followed a 2 year period concentrating on personal works intended for gallery exhibition. I am currently working on a several small commissions and a collection of sculptures called The Sacred Ground Project. In this collection of garden sculptures, public art pieces and gallery works every piece will use the phrase: "You are Standing on Sacred Ground" in various languages,
