In conformity with this determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction.

IRS990/Desc0ACQUIRE AND COMMISSION PUBLIC ART: THE ASSOCIATION FOR PUBLIC ART IS DEDICATED TO CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS TO RESPOND TO THE ISSUES OF OUR TIME, WHILE REDEFINING PUBLIC SPACE AND ENCOURAGING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND INTERACTION. PROJECTS CARRIED OUT IN 2017 INCLUDE:"AMOR" BY ROBERT INDIANA: ON THE OCCASION OF THE WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES AND PUBLIC PAPAL MASS ON THE PARKWAY, APA PARTNERED WITH THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART (PMA) TO BRING THE SCULPTURE "AMOR" BY ROBERT INDIANA TO PHILADELPHIA FOR TEMPORARY INSTALLATION ON THE ART MUSEUM'S STEPS. AMOR, MEANING "LOVE" IN BOTH POPE FRANCIS'S NATIVE SPANISH AND THE CHURCH'S TRADITIONAL LATIN, REMAINED ON LOAN THROUGH 2016 FROM THE MORGAN ART FOUNDATION, COURTESY OF SIMON AND MARC SALAMA-CARO. THE PRESENTATION OF "AMOR" BY APA AND PMA COMMUNICATED TO RESIDENTS AND VISITORS THAT PHILADELPHIA IS A WELCOMING INTERNATIONAL CITY. DURING FY2017 "AMOR" WAS ACQUIRED THROUGH THE COLLECTIVE GENEROSITY OF THE APA, CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, THE MORGAN FOUNDATION, THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART, AND PRIVATE DONOR EDITH R. DIXON, AND PERMANENTLY INSTALLED IN SISTER CITIES PLAZA."BIG BLING" BY MARTIN PURYEAR: THE APA BROUGHT ACCLAIMED ARTIST MARTIN PURYEAR'S COLOSSAL "BIG BLING" TO PHILADELPHIA AS A TEMPORARY INSTALLATION IN JUNE 2017, WHERE IT WAS ON VIEW FOR SIX MONTHS ALONG KELLY DRIVE. THIS WAS A FIRST-TIME COLLABORATION WITH THE MADISON SQUARE PARK CONSERVANCY IN NEW YORK CITY. THE SCULPTURE WAS COMMISSIONED BY THE MADISON SQUARE PARK CONSERVANCY'S CONTEMPORARY ART PROGRAM, MAD. SQ. ART. RISING FORTY FEET HIGH AND ELICITING MANY INTERPRETATIONS, "BIG BLING" (2016) WAS PURYEAR'S LARGEST TEMPORARY OUTDOOR SCULPTURE TO DATE. THE MONUMENTAL, MULTITIERED WOOD STRUCTURE WAS WRAPPED IN CHAIN-LINK MESH AND ANCHORED WITH A GOLD-LEAFED SHACKLE NEAR THE TOP. LAYERS OF LAMINATED TIMBERS AND PLYWOOD WERE STACKED TOGETHER TO CREATE A FORM THAT IS BOTH ANIMAL-LIKE AND ABSTRACT. "BIG BLING" HELD SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR PHILADELPHIA, AS APA HAD COMMISSIONED "PAVILION IN THE TREES" IN 1993, ONE OF PURYEAR'S EARLIEST PUBLIC WORKS, WHICH UTILIZED SIMILAR MATERIALS OF WOOD AND METAL MESH. "PAVILION" RECEIVED ADDITIONAL CONSERVATION TREATMENT IN 2017 IN PREPARATION FOR THE ARRIVAL OF "BIG BLING." FOLLOWING DE-INSTALLATION IN NOVEMBER 2017, "BIG BLING" WAS TRANSPORTED TO MASS MOCA FOR FUTURE RE-INSTALLATION THERE. IN 2017, THE AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS PUBLIC ART NETWORK (PAN) RECOGNIZED "BIG BLING" AS ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING PUBLIC ARTWORKS OF THE PREVIOIUS YEAR THROUGH ITS "YEAR IN REVIEW" PROGRAM. A JURY OF PUBLIC ART PROFESSIONALS REVIEWED ENTRIES FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY BEFORE SELECTING PURYEAR'S SCULPTURE AS ONE OF THE BEST."CAI GUO-QIANG: FIREFLIES": THE APA COMMISSIONED "CAI GUO-QIANG: FIREFLIES" BY INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTIST CAI GUO-QIANG, A NEW SITE-SPECIFIC WORK FOR THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PARKWAY HELD DURING FALL 2017 IN CELEBRATION OF THE PARKWAY'S CENTENNIAL, WITH MAJOR SUPPORT FROM THE PEW CENTER FOR ARTS & HERITAGE, AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION, THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS, AND OTHER DONORS. "FIREFLIES" CONSISTED OF TWENTY-SEVEN LUMINOUS, KINETIC SCULPTURES IN THE FORM OF FREE PEDICABS THAT TRAVERSED THE PARKWAY AT NIGHT. CLUSTERS OF INDIVIDUALLY LIT HANDMADE LANTERNS EMBELLISHED EACH PEDICAB SCULPTURE, RECALLING THE ARTIST'S CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF TRADITIONAL LANTERN FESTIALS IN HIS NATIVE QUANZHOU, CHINA. WHEN IN MOTION, THE PEDICAB SCULPTURES GENTLY BOBBLED, SUGGESTING THE LIGHT OF FLICKERING FIREFLIES. THE NUMBER 27-AS A MULTIPLE OF NINE-RECALLS THE CHINESE HOMOPHONE FOR ETERNITY AND CELEBRATES THE LONGEVITY OF THE SCENIC PARKWAY. DURING THE PROJECT'S DURATION, TWO "FIREFLIES" HUBS FEATURED A SHORT VIDEO BY THE ARTIST AND FILM ABOUT HIS WORK. PARTICIPANTS EXPERIENCED THE PARKWAY FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE BY RIDING INSIDE THE SCULPTURES AS PASSENGERS. "FIREFLIES" BROUGHT PEOPLE TO THE PARKWAY AT NIGHT AND ENGAGED NEW AND DIVERSE AUDIENCES.

POTTER AND DANIEL CHESTER FRENCH'S MONUMENTAL BRONZE "GENERAL ULYSSES S. GRANT" (1897), AND THE APPLICATION OF PREVENTATIVE PRODUCTS AND PROTECTIVE SURFACE COATINGS TO MARTIN PURYEAR'S WOODEN "PAVILION IN THE TREES" (1993). AS PART OF OUR STEWARDSHIP, ONGOING MAINTENANCE EMERGENCIES-INCLUDING STORM DAMAGE, VANDALISM, AND GRAFFITI-WERE ADDRESSED. IN OCTOBER 2017 APA UNDERTOOK EXTENSIVE GRAFFITI AND SURFACE DEBRIS REMOVAL ON THE GRANITE BASE AND BRONZE SCULPTURE "THORFINN KARLSEFNI" (1918) BY EINAR JONSSON.THE APA CONTINUES TO CARRY OUT LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION AT THE "ELLEN PHILLIPS SAMUEL MEMORIAL SCULPTURE GARDEN".
