1) The public art themes for Everett Station shall: a) Embrace the environment by reflecting Everett's surrounding natural environment in the art projects and building materials within the Station building; b) Celebrate industry recognizing Everett's long tradition as an industrious community through crafting with one's own hands; c) Communicate Everett's history and diversity of its values; d) Transition into Everett's future through the creation of art that is timeless in form and content; and e) Create value added projects by integrating art projects into construction documents whenever possible to increase the value of the art program. 2) With the funding available for the public art program (and outside of the Sound Transit public art program funding for Everett Station), the following is a prioritized listing of art projects for inclusion within the Everett Station project: a) Installation within the station building of the Kenneth Callahan murals previously donated to the City of Everett by the Weyerhaeuser Company, depicting Everett's lumber history; b) Commissioning/Purchasing of 2-Dimensional art works within the station building that would depict a sense of community and present a diverse view of Everett (i.e. life in Everett); c) Creation of Station area art works which would develop a"sense of place" in the landscaped areas of the park and ride,plaza areas, vehicular turnaround fronting the station building, and station area entrance; d) Creation of a Great Hall (i.e. atrium) floor entryway to "welcome"people to the station building; e) Installation of a station clock within the Great Hall that will become a focal point within this public gathering space; f) Mounting of"Wall Sconces" on the columns inside the Great Hall which would add a level of"human touch" and lighting detail; g) Installation of"Circulation Benches" on the second and third floor public corridors to enliven the space and invite people to comfortably mingle; and h) Creation of a Great Hall backdrop to be reflected in the wall glass and interior railings. 3) In order to maximize both the probability of local area artist participation in the design, manufacture and installation of public art for the Everett Station project and public review of the public art design process,the following general procedures should be used: a) A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) should be released to artists on the Snohomish County artist mailing list, and to any artist that requests an RFQ; 2
