Design meetings set for story poles
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Area residents interested in
helping shape the artwork to
be featured on two large trees
outside the Keizer Civic Cen-
ter should start planning now.
The Keizer Public Arts
Commission recently approved
a slate of meetings where in-
dividuals and groups will be
able to pitch their ideas for the
poles. The design process will
follow a pattern similar to the
development of the Big Toy in
Keizer Rapids Parks. Interested
citizens are invited to attend
one of the upcoming meetings
and then all ideas will be com-
bined by a hired artist into an
overall vision.
Design meetings will be tar-
geted to specifi c audience. An
at-large meeting is scheduled
for Oct. 3; elementary school
students are invited to a meet-
ing on Oct. 24; a Nov. 28 meet-
ing will be directed at middle
and high school students; and
special interest groups like art
associations and Native Ameri-
can tribal members will be in-
vited to a Jan. 23 meeting. A
fi nal meeting on Feb. 27 will
be a presentation of the fi nal
concept by the design artist.
Members of the commit-
tee were most concerned
about attracting students to the
meetings, which will happen
after school hours from 6 to 8
p.m. During Big Toy planning,
representatives of the design
team visited schools and had
students submit suggestions on
the spot. While KPAC mem-
bers are still hammering out
the details for how the design
meeting will work, there was
concern about whether to
simply combine all students
into a single meeting.
Commissioner Lore Chris-
topher said it should be sepa-
rate meetings.
“The older ones who are
going to be more sophisticated
in an art sense, and then there’s
the young ones who want to
do fairies,” Christopher said.
The general theme of the
project is telling the story of
Keizer and and immediate area,
but there are currently no pa-
rameters establishing when the
story should begin or where it

will end.
KPAC has applied for a
grant to the Oregon Commu-
nity Foundation to help cover
the costs of the project, but will
probably not hear back until
the end of the year. Carving
of the poles isn’t expected to
begin until sometime in 2019.
The city was approached by
a carver willing to take on the
project for a fee, but he did not
plan on being the conceptual
artist, a matter that drew some
surprise from members of the
commission who though the
same person would be han-
dling both tasks.
“There’s two different art-
ists, one who draws out the
design and one who carves it,”
said Commissioner Jesse Long.
“The drawing artist should be
involved in the design meet-

Commissioners mentioned
two possibilities, a local graph-
ic designer and the designer of
the Salem Riverfront Carousel
animals. If interested, the artists
would have to submit propos-
als for evaluation.
While fundraising for the
project is planned for January
2018 to January 2019, paying
an additional artist to deliver a
concept with an understand-
able storyline might mean
shifting that fundraising sched-
ule. The one thing the poles
have is a lot of space to fi ll.
One is 25 feet tall, the other is
20 feet tall.

planned
to do a dry run of the design
