Public art’s value can’t be demonstrated in dollars to the developer, either, but it can help in making the develop-ment attractive to buyers just like planting trees or installing streetscapes.
“We think public art is one of the appropriate public amenities,” says David Roppel, Aragon’s director or planning and development.
Roppel commissioned Diver Inverse, which cost $50,000, from sculptor David Robinson, It was the fi rst public art proj-ect for Aragon, but it won’t be the last. Aragon plans to put another one in a development in Port Moody.
New private and public developments around town have Magirescu excited about the public art possibilities. Mosaics are also in the works for East Columbia Street. Also, the Sapperton community, the city, artists and the develop-ers of The Brewery District residential/commercial project are working together to create even more public art for the area.
More mosiacs are being commissioned for Sixth Street between Royal and Sixth Avenues, as well as Downtown Columbia Street.
“Eventually we’re going to have quite an inventory of tiles depicting who we are,” says Magirescu.
Westminster Pier Park on New Westminster’s waterfront is to have four art components to it. The project includes Lytton Square, which was the waterfront’s original gathering place. It will have aluminum photographic panels of differ-ent sizes bolted to the stairway that will enable the city to interchange photographs telling the area’s historic
story. There will also be a 12-inch metal memory band on the boardwalk containing thought-provoking words meant to bring out the spirt of New Westminster and its relationship to the waterfront. Lodge poles will also be put in to represent the footings of the
old pier and artworks will mark certain playground areas.
The new 85,000 square foot civic centre—which will house the city’s art gallery, museum and archives—being planned for Columbia and Eighth Street really puts an extra twinkle in Magirescu’s eye as he con-templates the almost endless possibilities.
“Everyone has said the building needs to be designed as a canvas so that every part of the building can be used. Both the interior and exterior is potentially a canvas for art,” he says shortly after getting off the phone with the project’s architect.
He also sees the city as a canvas because public art can adorn all sorts of things from benches to bicycle racks to garbage containers.
For Mary Wilson, she couldn’t be more pleased to see the acceptance of public art in New Westminster bloom like fl owers in the spring.
“I’m tickled after fi ghting so hard for it,” giggles Wilson.
