Community Library Call for Sculpture RFP Cape Canaveral, Florida Artist Qualifications Application CR Gray Sculptor Key West, Florida C.R.Gray, Sculptor 10 1St Street Key West, Florida 33040 USA 305-432-6856 craig@crgray.com November 26,2021 Molly Thomas Director Cultural & Community Affairs City of Cape Canaveral RE: Community Library Public Art Call 100 Polk Ave Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920 Greetings Ms. Thomas and the Selection Committee, For over a quarter of a century I have crafted and carved artwork.ln the past ten years I have been very fortunate, over 75 communities, universities and museums in 26 states have selected me to create permanent and temporary sculpture.The locations form intersecting trails across America, the list includes- Boston MA, Jackson WY, Newport Beach CA, Springfield MO, Chicago IL, and Coral Springs FL to name a few. Whether working in steel, stone, or concrete my works come from the heart, inspired by Americana, with a genuine modesty and eye to engage all. It is my goal to make art that simulates conversation, approaches every day objects in a new direction, creating cultural totems. I have outlined a proposed sculpture called "A Novel Idea"- a bookbench carved from granite for the Community Library. This work is both a sculpture and a functional bench. I believe this commission is of high standard and carries much prestige and look forward to the opportunity of sharing my almost three decades of experience igniting the imagination of Cape Canaveral with public art. Warm regards from the Island of Key West. C.R. Gray, Sculptor 10 1st Street Key West, Florida 33040 USA 305-432-6856 craig©crgray.com Cape Canaveral Community Library Public Art Concept. "A Novel Idea"- ( Book Bench) Project Goal: My concept would be to create a bench made from granite of books. This functional sculpture can recognize the contribution of local, regional and national writers to knowledge, joy, and the fun of reading. The artwork would also bridge past, present, and future generations in discovery and imagination. The Idea and Approach: A five(5) foot bench made from stacks of carved granite books would form the theme for this concept. Carved with authors names and titles, the sculpture can reflect the local story, while providing a place to rest, read, and relax for friends, visitors, and Library employees. The artwork work would be assembled of almost sixteen (16) individual novels- symbolic of the contribution of many forming a community.. Community Engagement: The project would not be limited by the bounds of the sculpture. As part of the creative process, the community can chose up to (8) eight of the titles to be carved into the books. I can also give an artist presentation following the placement of the sculpture. Gathering with local members, can also assist in providing real community ownership of this artwork and future projects. Longevity and Maintenance: Artwork constructed of granite would have an almost unlimited lifespan and very little upkeep. The durability would not be measured in decades but centuries and will hold up to whatever Mother Nature can dish out - even hurricanes. Budget, Schedule, Logistics: The generous budget of $2000 are enough funds to transport the sculpture to the site and install (by the artist). The Sculpture is composed of individual granite books, which are assembled with high strength structural epoxy and stainless steel pins. The artwork can be placed on any standard sidewalk. I currently have a bench available without titles ready to install.There is an option to purchase with the lease applied to the purchase price of $15,000. The purchase can be made over a period of three year budget cycles.

Enriching Lives. GREATER AUGUSTA COUNCIL February 25, 2021 To Whom It May Concern, Craig Berube Gray has a sculpture titled Popsicles currently on display in the Northeast corner of the Augusta Common, as part of the 2021-2023 Augusta Sculpture Trail. Popsicles is one of ten works temporarily on display in downtown Augusta, and has proven to be one of the most widely appreciated. Everyone loves the bright colors and whimsy of the piece. Craig arrived perfectly on time to install his piece, in the week set aside for all pieces to go in. When the piece being installed right before his took a little longer to set up than expected, he cheerfully waited, and when it was his time, he brought his piece directly to the designated site, and assisted our professional installer with the work of setting it in place. Popsicles required an extra flourish of plaster and paint to be properly installed after being secured to the concrete base. Craig brought the extra supplies and stayed to ensure his piece was in perfect form, even though it was cold and drizzling that afternoon. The City's reception of his piece has been phenomenal, both through social media praise and people directly telling Arts Council staff how much they enjoy Popsicles. We feel very lucky to have one of Craig's pieces on display for two years, and hope that he will return to us many times as we further the Augusta Sculpture Trail over the years to come. Project Manager 1301 Greene Street • PO Box 1776 • Augusta, GA 30903 • 706.826.4702 • www.augustaarts.com Manchester Parks, Recreation, & Arts City of Manchester Parks, Recreation, & Arts 636-391-6326 • 636-391-0467 (fax) 359 Old Meramec Station Road Manchester, Missouri 63021 8/21/2020 To Whom it May Concern, Manchester, Missouri is in love with Craig Berube-Gray's piece Slices of Heaven that was installed this summer. Already we have seen a lot of traffic around the sculpture and many people stop and take photos with it. Its location in our Paul Schroeder Park next to the playgrounds, walking path, and fields give it lots of exposure to our art appreciating community. The bright orange color act as a magnet for both children and adults alike. We are so glad that Craig submitted his work to our Creative Communities Alliance - Sculpture on the Move Program and that we were able to get Slices of Heaven (our first pick) for the next two years. Craig was able to deliver and install Slices of Heaven during a very trying time (the COVID-19 Pandemic) and was a joy to speak with. I recommend that you consider one of Craig Berube-Gray's pieces for your event or space. Sincer-ly, Rebecca Pate Arts and Recreation Specialist The City of Manchester arts ORANGE COUNTY August 27, 2019 To whom it may concern: Re: Craig Gray 17620 Fitch Avenue, Suite 255, Irvine, CA 92614-6081 714.556.5160 I FAX 714.556.5099 www.ArtsOC.org 1 www.SparkOC.com Arts Orange County (ArtsOC) is the officially designated nonprofit local arts agency for the County of Orange, California. Its mission is to build appreciation of, participation in, and support for the arts and arts education in our community. ArtsOC regularly works with organizations and cities to manage the selection and installation of temporary and permanent art exhibitions. We became acquainted with the work of Craig Gray through the City of Newport Beach's rotating Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park, which ArtsOC has managed since 2015. Craig's sculptures add an immediate burst of color, humor, and delight to outdoor environments, so it is little wonder that his work has twice found a home in this exhibition. Our selection process includes an empaneled jury of outside art experts, members of the City Arts Commission, and an online public poll, followed by review and approval by the elected City Council. Although he is based on the opposite end of the country, Craig's work has had an uncanny resonance with Orange County, topping the public polling for works under consideration not just once, but both times he has submitted works. Our community has had the good fortune to provide temporary homes to his sculptures "Popsicles" and "Slices of Heaven," the latter of which stands in Civic Center Park at this very moment. Craig's works possess the power to create a direct, immediate, and positive connection with viewers of all ages due to their imaginative, whimsical and popular themes. Because of their durable construction they are also well-suited for long-term outdoor installation. We wholeheartedly recommend that you consider include Craig Gray's works for public display. Richard Stein President & CEO keys FLORIDA KEYS arts COUNCIL OF THE September 30, 2019 To Whom it May Concern: We Support • We Connect • We Promote • We Give www.keysarts.com It is with great pleasure that I recommend Mr. Craig Gray as an outstanding Artist working in the Public Art field.

The opportunity to share with you my ongoing positive experiences with Craig is gratifying. I have known Mr. Gray since he first arrived on the island as an artist in residence at our prestigious Studios of Key West. He quickly discovered what a special place Key West is and knew that this was the perfect spot to nurture and develop his artistic skill set. His passion and persistence for not only his craft, stone carving, but of the storytelling of our history in his work is admirable. Craig is dedicated to his work, and strives to complete his work on time and on budget. His proposals are thoughtful and with each new one his ideas are evolving. I find his work ethic and time management skills to be respectful of the process and very reasonable. Most recently, as the Public Art Administrator for the City of Key West's Public Art program, I had the opportunity to commission Craig as one of four artists to place site specific work at our renovated and restored Key West City Hall. The AIPP Board unanimously recommended Craig's proposal for two granite carved benches in the butterfly park that celebrated the literary legacies of the Island. Craig's Book Benches which he aptly titled, Speaking Volumes 1 and 11 are absolutely fabulous. They will weather any storm, are creative and inspiring and the public is immediately engaged as they discover the various titles and authors' names carved into the benches. Mr. Gray is devoted to his craft and is continuing to impress us with his proposals and enthusiasm for the Keys' arts community and public art program. Each piece that Craig creates shares his passion, humor and carving skills with the community. He is enthusiastic, professional and dedicated. 1, without reservation recommend Craig Gray, for your public art project. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

His large-scale outdoor sculpture "Slices of Heaven" was unanimously selected for the exhibition and is very popular with the Springfield community. 1 personally have an affinity, because it relates so well to Florida iconography and culture. Oranges are one of the best parts of living here. The sculpture is currently exhibited for two years in Klutho Park in Jacksonville, FL.

Kingsport's 13th annual Sculpture Walk a sight to see From Staff Reports Oct 12,2021 KINGSPORT — When Kingsport's Office of Cultural Arts (OCA) put out a national call for artists for the 13th annual Sculpture Walk, artists all across the country responded. That's why this year, the OCA was able to bring eight new sculptures to downtown Kingsport. Though sculptures have been delivered and installed through- out the month of October, the official opening of the exhibition will happen later this month. "With an artist from New Jersey and an artist from Key West, Florida, we are proud that we can bring a diverse group of artists to exhibit in the show," said Hannah Powell, coordinator for the Cultural Arts program. "Our depai talent strives to not only highlight the local talent that we have in the Kingsport area, but we also like to import various artists' work to share diverse creativity with the community of Kingsport. Two of the artists are new to the exhibition, while two of the artists have exhibited in Kingsport before."For those who really enjoyed C.R. Gray's `Popsicles' at the Kingsport Farmers Market, I'm sorry to report the sculpture has been replaced," Powell said. "The good news is, it has been replaced by another one of the same artist's treasures that is perfect for the market location: `Watermelons.' "Jim Gallucci is also returning, this time bringing two arches: one at City Hall, "Monarch Migration," and one on the corner of East Market and Commerce Street, "A Flock of Blackbirds."Powell hopes that those visiting art galleries like Cindy Saadeh, Suzanne Justis and Up Against the Wall will find his blackbirds arch to be a nice touch to the artistry found on Market Street. New artist Nathan Leslie comes from North Carolina.Three of his sculptures can be found along the downtown strip of Broad Street.Two of the sculptures, "Family" and "Growth," will be at the intersection with Main Street, and his third one, "Joy," is a pop of color in the City Hall garden along Church Circle. The other new artist is Mary Angers of New Jersey. Angers brings a sculpture called "Twisted" at Broad and Center streets that resembles the line structure found in the Noland Plan for the city. Her second sculpture, "Timeless," can be found on Broad Street at its intersection with New Street. The official opening of the exhibition is Oct. 23, with a reception at City Hall, 415 Broad St. Shuttle rides to view the sculptures will begin at 10 a.m. Maps will also be provided for those who prefer to walk. Charlie Brouwer, guest juror, will be visiting to share his insight into the artwork he chose for show. Zhe Augusta (gL,ronzcte Sculpture Trail could attract more to downtown Augusta By Amanda King Dec 16,2020 Downtown Augusta will be getting a little facelift mid-January with the installation of 10 sculptures approved by the City of Augusta. The new Sculpture Trail will include four sculptures in the Augusta Common, four in various locations along Broad Street and two on Eighth Street leading down to the Riverwalk. The city received applications from 120 sculptures before narrowing the selection down. Paid for through Augusta's recreation budget, sculptures will be on loan by the artists for two years. Artists will receive $3,000 upon the installation and an additional $3,000 when they are removed. All 10 will be available for purchase but Augusta will purchase one to remain downtown. Greater Augusta Arts Council Executive Director Brenda Durant said the budget for that purchase is $25,000. "Popsicles" by CR Gray of Key West, Florida Durant said the trail will help spur economic development downtown, pride in the community and give people another reason to visit downtown especially as businesses look for ways to drive foot traffic to the area. "Restaurants are really looking for any kind of engagement they can get and so if people decide to come downtown, it's just a way of building engagement," she said. Springfield N PART OF THE USA TODAY NETWORK Jan Peterson, Special to the Springfield News -Leader Published 12:05 p.m. CT April 8, 2020 SweetHearts-CR Gray Sculptor Photo: Andrew Jansen/News-Leader) COVID-19 has forced the closure of galleries and museums, but the opportunity to explore art remains, thanks to Sculpture Walk Springfield. A total of 32 sculptures by artists from all over the United States are scattered at points throughout central Springfield. They provide an opportunity to explore art while taking in some in the form of a nice walk from one sculpture to another. Tery O'Shell, executive director of the nonprofit group, says sculptures typically are switched out this time of year. But plans for that have been put on hold. "We have selected sculptures for the 2020-2021 rotation, but I don't know if we're going to use them," she says. "... We may keep the old ones. It's hard for us. Our sculptures come from all over the country. One artist is from Key West and he can't get out." But, O'Shell says, that just leaves time for more people to explore what's already installed. "Especially now, when it makes a perfect field trip for a parent, too," she says, adding that sculptures are great for learning. "Each sculpture has some kind of statement from the artist, so there are all kinds of ways you could teach your child." Cos Angeles a imcs Newport art Commissioners make oranges top pick among potential sculpture exhibit additions MARCH 22, 2019 Hillary Davis 1 hillary.davis@latimes.com Makes sense for Orange County: The Newport Beach Arts Commission's top pick for the next stage of Newport's rotating sculpture exhibit at Civic Center Park is a 9 -foot -tall tower of orange wedges. On Thursday, commissioners, with input from outside experts and a public online poll, selected 14 pieces of modern art —10 finalists and four alternates — that they would most like to see in the exhibit, which is entering its fourth phase. They had 31 candidates to choose from. Here are their picks, which will go to the City Council for consideration April 9: • "Slices of Heaven" by Craig Gray — a stack of steel, stucco and concrete citrus slices in Technicolor orange and yellow. Gray also is the creator of "Popsicles," one of the works currently in the park. "Slices of Heaven" was easily the top choice among the public. • "Pinnacle" by Stephanie Bachiero — a 6 -foot -tall abstract piece of engineered aerospace polymer and carbon fiber coated in white lacquer."Hurricane" by Ray Katz — a 91/2 -foot -tall by 16 -foot -wide jumble of • "Chairman of the Board" by Steven Rieman — a 13 -foot -tall stainless-steel pincer -like scoop.

CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL CULTURE AND LEISURE SERVICES (CLS) BOARD January 27, 2022 REGULAR MEETING • DISCUSSION ITEM # 1 Subject: Review Fee Schedule for new City of Cape Canaveral Community Center (COCCC) Department: Leisure Services Summary: With the coming completion of the City of Cape Canaveral Community Center (COCC), it is incumbent on the City to establish a schedule of fees for use. Per the City Manager with City Council's Direction, the proposed Fee Schedule will not be implemented for residents of Cape Canaveral Until October 1st, 2022. This will provide opportunity to track activities and develop trends. However, all non-residents will have to pay upon opening of the facility. Research was conducted with over 20 facilities throughout Florida to gauge what other government owned/operated facilities offering similar amenities charge. Location of these facilities ranged from Jacksonville to Vero Beach. A comprehensive spreadsheet was created delineating items such as operating hours, daily/weekly/monthly/yearly drop-ins, membership fees, and room rental fees to assess how our proposed fees fare in comparison to other municipalities. Special attention was also given to the current fee structure utilized by the Leisure Services (LS) department (attachment # 1). Consistency among fees creates a simple transition into this new facility.
