The Reston Association Board unanimously endorsed the Public Art Master Plan for Reston in 2008, asdid the boards of all the other participating organizations. The master plan identified general areas ofopportunity for new public artworks in Reston, in public and communityfacilities as well as privatedevelopment. It suggested that the best approach for implementing projects would be throughpartnerships between IPAR and its collaborating organizations, such as RA. Each organization could chartits own course in identifying projects, yet would continue to support and work coliaboratively with IPAR,drawing on its professional public art expertise and ability to provide funding for projects proposed andreviewed successfully by its committees and Board.The Reston Association Public Art Work PlanRA is not only a founding member and an ongoing supporter of IPAR, but also the first Restonorganization to develop its own public art work plan, as envisioned by the PublicArt Master Plan forReston. This work plan, developed with funding support from IPAR, is an important step in extendingthelong-lasting partnership between RA and IPAR, and in developinga new generation of public artworks inReston.The Reston Association Public A r t Work Plan describes upcoming opportunities for the Association tosponsor or support art projects that will help accomplish its overall vision and mission. The work plandescribes nine possible projects that are related to the services and resources the Association managesfor its membership as well as the larger community, and outlines an approach to pursuing them. It alsosets out priorities and processes that can be used to decide when and how to add new projects to thework plan.Three of the projects outlined in this work plan could be undertaken in conjunction with RA capitalprojects; two could be undertaken when RA decides the circumstances are right; and four could beundertaken by a broader partnership of Reston community organizations, with RA involved as a leader orcollaborator. For each of these projects, the work plan provides an outline that explains why the project isimportant to RA's membership as well as the community at large, what it should accomplish, and how itcould be undertaken.By adopting this work plan, the RA Board of Directors is providingfocused direction to its staff andsignalingto its members, to IPAR and the community at large what i ts approach to implementing publicart projects will be. For each project the next step would be to undertake more detailed planningandbudget development, and to organize partnerships with organizations whose support and involvementwould be necessatyfor the success of the project. IPAR, for example, could assist in many ways- withfurther conceptual development of the project, fundraising and project management tasks such as artistselection and overseeing contracting, fabrication and installation- epending on the nature of theproject. The adoption of the work plan does not imply a commitment tofund or to implement any of theseprojects, or any specific agreements with other organizations with respect to future projects, as thesespecifically are actions that would require further consideration by the RA Board of Directors.The projects in this work plan have been carefully considered to add value to the services and facilitiesthat RA manages, and to the community of Reston overall. That value can usually be characterized in oneof two ways: for some of these projects, the art components will create a stronger and more positiveprofile for Reston and for the Association's initiatives; for other projects, the involvement of artists willdirectly enhance the service the Association is providing to Its members and the community.Overall, this work plan can serve as an important springboard to a community-wide revival of Reston'spublic art tradition, and facilitate the addition of a new group of "Reston Treasures" that foster quality oflife, civic pride, community identity and economic value. These projects will be cherished by Restoniansfor years to come, and will help make Reston attractive to residents and businesses for generations tocome.Reston Association Public Art Work PlanDraft for Board Review, 5/6/11
