Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide the City of Sartell with bike racks and benches to integrate into the landscape of 2 prominent parks. Allow the bike racks and benches to have an artful quality, through found object aesthetics. Use the historic Sartell Paper Mill remnants to pay tribute to the monumental presence that is now being demolished. Work with existing park designs and possible future renovations, anticipated to happen in the next year. Orchestrate an event that features the pieces, artists and partners.The placement of the artwork will serve as our key measurement of success. Additionally, we are taking a special interest in the process of creating the art and will ask community members, especially former mill workers, to respond to the work and concepts. Lastly, we will ask key City leaders and artists to respond to a survey about the process of working in a collaboration, in order to navigate a complex project, in terms of relevance to community and timeline.
