Multiple commissioners said the luminary display drew neighborhood and downtown attention and helped attract visitors to businesses with pop-up markets. Commissioners and volunteers reported seeing roughly 10–20 luminaries per block in active stretches and estimated roughly 200 luminaries overall along the route; a number of residential blocks showed continuous strings of luminaries for several hundred feet.

Participants recommended repeating the event but expanding access: run several workshop sessions (including weekend or First Friday tie-ins), coordinate with local schools for student projects, and host dedicated decorating sessions so families can build multiple luminaries and take smaller sets home. Commissioners suggested concentrating displays in darker, car-free stretches (or along the Rio Grande path) to improve visual impact and reduce the effect of street lighting and parked cars. One commissioner offered to lead a base-and-route tour for commissioners ahead of jury voting so members can understand physical placement constraints.

Several volunteers reported durability problems: painted decorations and glue on some luminaries peeled or failed in weather. Staff and commissioners said they will investigate sturdier materials and adhesives before the next event and consider packaging or distributed pick-up so residents can buy and collect luminaries for block displays.

Commissioners agreed that the luminaria work supported local activation and created a welcoming, pedestrian-friendly environment during the shortest, darkest evenings of the year. Staff will compile a short recap and explore options for improving materials, adding sessions, and targeting darker corridors for next season.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Carbondale Public Arts Commission Meeting, January 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners praised the winter luminary display for boosting downtown atmosphere and business foot traffic, recommended adding multiple decorating sessions and using darker, car-free stretches for greater visual impact; staff will evaluate materials after paint/glue problems.","taxTitle","Carbondale, Garfield County, Colorado","taxId",61895,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6392310,"Art Around Town call has eight early submissions; commissioners push wider outreach and set jury schedule",46,732000,778000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2110001-17668e835c18f68e0909826271c6149d&start=732&end=778","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2110001-17668e835c18f68e0909826271c6149d/thumbnail_732000.jpg","/articles/6392310/Carbondale/Garfield-County/Colorado/Art-Around-Town-call-has-eight-early-submissions-commissioners-push-wider-outreach-and-set-jury-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6392310-586186cabeac2e9f01f0401cf7c06f2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181474&Signature=HO~7AIPsHfpBWfMudNcZgzQ~ZilAINFq0fII8Ejqt7YsJWjrzZnt82qRNXRLSHEp4FbXY7dNNYbukZLU52CE2XiVU-O7d8wtINji7~vOmW5asjZdXm7K9NxMng12piNLqzOef1t9gugbPDrEXDpYiOqg1pN4DGw45Qujy-m2u-I3fBMF5niT2C4wH-9ZO7g0h7TWq~q-k02qyA0IErxXHjNIVT4hfAX1P6m~-iqVFxCSwrWKNlYVVVPpA7S3ZtCgJoud93YsDJ02kSxOwJYoLX5f5VpTg9PSnf6DKoGpmB4bUqN3GCIK9ECUtG1kCS9FvaH0sTsbb4nmHJgGR4J-mA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbondale Public Art Commission heard an update on the Art Around Town 2025 call to artists and discussed expanded outreach and a timeline for jury review.

Lori reported eight submissions as of the meeting; the application deadline was announced as Feb. 11. Commissioners and staff reviewed outreach channels already used — the Town of Carbondale Facebook page, a town manager report, email blasts, and listings on Colorado Creative Industries — and suggested additional promotion through regional artist networks, Drawing Club, Carbondale Arts, the Creative District, Artwork Archive/Artist Archive, and community partners such as Marble Fest and storage-unit artist collectives. Staff said they had also placed a digital ad through regional outlets tied to the Aspen Times network.

Commissioners raised long-running concerns that the same pool of artists applies repeatedly. Members discussed strategies to broaden applicants: contact regional colleges and sculpture programs, invite emerging and student artists, and reach out to neighboring municipalities’ networks. Several commissioners urged direct outreach to known local sculptors and organizations.

On scheduling, staff proposed online preliminary voting rounds followed by a final in-person jury session. Commissioners tentatively held the week of Feb. 17 for preliminary voting and identified Feb. 26 as a possible in-person final vote at the Colorado Mountain College (CMC) computer lab so jurors can view submissions together. Staff said they would confirm lab availability and circulate firm dates by email.

Commissioners also noted practical constraints: artists must deliver and install their work (the commission does not accept shipments), and jurors will consider physical size and base requirements when discussing placement in a final round. The group agreed to continue outreach and to share promotion materials with commissioners and community partners.

No formal ordinance or budget action was made at the meeting; the discussion focused on outreach and scheduling for the call.","The commission reported eight early submissions for Art Around Town 2025, discussed outreach via Colorado Creative Industries and local networks, and penciled jury and final voting dates for late February.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6392315,"Public Art Commission approves two reappointments and adds Julie to commission",1406,379000,1785000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2110001-17668e835c18f68e0909826271c6149d&start=379&end=1785","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2110001-17668e835c18f68e0909826271c6149d/thumbnail_379000.jpg","/articles/6392315/Carbondale/Garfield-County/Colorado/Public-Art-Commission-approves-two-reappointments-and-adds-Julie-to-commission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6392315-d505bfcee451b6e028facf91f9d21bde/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181474&Signature=jAnwFn5LxVYMlcXdxe7r9EcmO5XVTV~7vG3odCEeLArDvr48t30Bnb4AASQoBZ618JLhz8Xr~Mp0syI5bVxR69xNqE1qgtPvcF8qKkKkjndZ2KPaUBQBQZEYR0Jbgk79tFHJ0SR5xmz-bXh9vNITaqFTUgVugbHsEjxnJknPBp1HNPa9vrYC6f1rapT5hK8CbyKrZ~2dlelcxyRVglcu0XFQFGTZzPnfrN3bCapKoDWFh~ap441crmkRApcaafB3YnnnWYQwEHPfy9A5jldrxG1Gu858Ba45-6FdQHijrOV77pKLoP826ReFUCETzlWHs8dK-ASikQvpFjKGo6SyjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbondale Public Art Commission approved reappointments for two commissioners and voted to add Julie to the commission during its special New Year’s meeting.

Commission members voted to reappoint two current members and approved Julie’s application to serve. The commission confirmed that appointed terms are three years and that the panel operates with a seven-member cap; alternates may attend meetings and serve as voting members only when an appointed member is absent.

Meeting chair (unnamed) opened the item and asked for a motion. A commission member moved to approve the reappointments; another member seconded the motion and the commission voted “all in favor.” The chair then put Julie’s application before the group; a motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners noted Julie’s residence in Carbondale since 2022 and her background in art consulting and hospitality projects; she said she had started a local firm and was interested in contributing to the commission’s work.

Commission members also discussed alternate seats: staff advised that alternates are expected to attend meetings so they are familiar with ongoing discussions and can step in to vote if an appointed member is absent. Commissioners confirmed the three-year term length for appointed members and that the commission is capped at seven appointed members.

The commission recorded no formal objections during the voice votes. Members asked staff to update rosters and confirm start dates for the reappointments and appointment. The meeting moved on after the votes.

The commission did not formalize a separate policy change; the votes were approvals of specific applications and reappointments.","At a special New Year’s meeting, the Carbondale Public Art Commission approved reappointments for two existing members and voted to appoint Julie to the commission; commissioners clarified term lengths, alternate roles and voting eligibility.","actionData","errors"]
