I moved to the McIntyre District six months ago and am very interested in participating in the growth of Salem as a vibrant city. Before I knew I would be living here, I was very pleased when I heard that Salem was planning for a public art program, since I am an advocate for the arts to be integrated into public space and daily life. It would be particularly interesting for me to be a part of the program's development at this early stage. I have worked for the Cambridge Arts Council, the official arts agency for the City of Cambridge, for the last twelve years. After three years of doing outreach and educational programming for the public art program, I became Director of Public Art and Exhibitions. I have extensive knowledge about various aspects of municipal work and am also in regular communication with many others in the national field of public art. In carrying out our mission to bring arts to a diverse audience, I work regularly with many other departments through construction projects and programming, and I often seek partnerships with other agencies and organizations that serve the public. In addition I direct a gallery space with a variety of exhibitions related to art in the public realm, and as a part of our program this space serves as an important public education component. Lram also an artist and am including here a second resume reflecting my work in various mediums. My website is www.lillianhsu.com. I believe, with my combined experience as a public art director and as an artist, I would bring a valuable perspective to the work of the Salem Public Art Commission. Thank you for your consideration.

MA 01970 Email: ccparaschiv@gmail.com Daytime Phone: 323.397.2370 Evening Phone: 323.397.2370 How long have you lived in Salem? I have lived in Salem since September 2010. Current occupation: Architect, Urbanist, Public Artist, Lecturer at Boston Architectural College Committee/Board you are interested in: Public Art Commission Why are you interested in this Committee or Board? Since 2011, I have been incredibly interested in Salem's public spaces as opportunities for engagement and community. I began with informal surveys at the Farmers' Market in 2011 to discover how people felt about their public spaces, and soon, I began creating Public Art installations in the Point in order to facilitate social interactions,community engagement, and feelings of stewardship and ownership. I view the Public Art Commission as an opportunity to share some of the lessons I have learned from these"on the ground" endeavors in Public Art. I am committed to Public Art that springs from the place and community—a truly local and contextual process will lead to innovative art as well as foster strong relationships. I will also advocate that public art can be part of a constellation or network of pieces that involves the entire city, rather than act as stand- alone, isolated instances of creativity. Please list any relevant skill or experience(or provide a resume)you will bring to this committee assignment: As an architect, urban designer,and public artist, I bring technical skills and on the ground experience to this committee. If you are currently serving on any City Board(s) or Commission(s), please indicate which one(s): I am currently on the Salem Arts Festival Committee and along with Leslie of the Phoenix School, we will create the first Public Art Installation over Artists' Row—Hula Art!—which is steeped in the community as it provides a module that school children can create and make a piece of this Public Art Installation.

Since August 2009 Current occupation: Professional Photographer Committee/Board you are interested in: Public Art Commission Why are you interested in this Committee or Board? As a Salem resident and professional artist,I see an intrinsic value in creating public art spaces that promote positive community involvement. My most current public exhibit(Invisible Faces; 2012 and 2013) was installed in Harvard Square. The exhibit consumed an entire 40100' building side of a building with large portraits of homeless youth. The exhibit was strategically planned to address the stereotypes that homeless youth face while sparking community level discussions on finding solutions to address this epidemic. I realize first hand the struggles that face this committee however; I believe Salem has a unique opportunity to inspire a large population by reaching our current residents,attracting possible new residents and influencing the 100,000+visitors that come to Salem each year. Please allow me to spotlight a few areas on my resume that I have attached. In addition to being a Professional Photographer, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts with over 12 years of public and a Master in Social Work with a Macro concentration from Salem State University.

It would be fantastic to be on a board or commission for Salem, and especially for this project. Thank you for offering that potential opportunity. Meanwhile, I have experience as a project administrator at MIT and years of art training and practice, so I was wondering if you needed a volunteer to help in a practical way? Planning, scheduling, coordination, research, writing/editing, marketing, outreach, funding, etc. I understand that this initiative is in the very beginning stages, but I do hope that you would contact me for even a small assignment. I'm just looking to be involved and help my town become a more interesting place. :) Kay Walsh On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 9:05 AM, Andrew Shapiro <AShapiro ,salem.com> wrote: Ms. Walsh— The Mayors office forwarded me your email inquiring about how you can involve yourself more fully in the City's public art initiatives. As the City's Economic Development Planner, I oversee the coordination of many of these projects and would be happy to be a point of contact for you. As you know, we are on the verge of finalizing a Public Art Master Plan. One recommendation of the plan is to establish a Public Art Committee/Commission. If the Mayor were to adopt this recommendation, it will have to be voted upon and approved by the City Council. From there, we can begin the process of appointing members to such a committee and meet regularly. At this point it is not clear when such a process might begin. I believe that there are a few more edits to the plan being finalized as we speak. Regardless, I will gladly keep In touch with you as we move forward and ensure that you are given every consideration to participate on any potential public art board or commission.
