Oversight of this project has been provided by the Public Art and Beautification Committee, an appointed group of volunteer residents, and representatives from various organizations and city departments. The committee members were responsible for providing direction and review of plan components. The planning process also included multiple public meetings and public hearings as well as a community-wide survey. The City of Oshkosh has shown initiative towards improving cultural and beautification amenities in the city for decades. The goal of the 2000 Downtown Plan and the 2017 Imagine Oshkosh A Master Plan for our Center City is to increase investment in the center city. In August of 2016, the Common Council established a Public Art and Beautification Committee to help direct efforts towards improving access to public art amenities and aesthetics in the city. Our city leaders understand that a sizeable amount of art and cultural opportunities can be a good indicator of a thriving community. The City of Oshkosh is the 8th largest city in the state of Wisconsin and has a rich history rooted in community involvement and social connections. The Public Art and Beautification Committee would like to tap into the advantages of living in a midsized city by focusing on artistic cultural and visual improvements. This strategic plan is the result of many different ideas originating from residents and is an effort to strategize the potential for art and beautification opportunities. The goal of the plan is to enhance community character and economic growth. While it is challenging to ensure that everyone agrees on art based projects, this plan provides a framework for projects that will be appropriate for the Oshkosh community. The plan begins with an introduction which outlines the vision and goals. Additional information about the plan and study area are also provided. The introduction includes a brief review of the purpose of a strategic plan and concludes with a record of public engagement methods used during the planning process. Section two provides an inventory of current community public art and beautification items and includes a map indicating the location of all public art in the city. Section three provides recommendations for public and private property, concluding with an action plan for the Public Art and Beautification Committee. Section four provides a more detailed explanation about the role of various groups working towards implementing this plan. The Public Art and Beautification Strategic Plan will be implemented by the Oshkosh Public Art and Beautification Committee with support from the Common Council and interdepartmental city staff. Successful implementation will rely heavily on public and private partnerships. 5 6 SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 PLAN MISSION The mission of the Public Art and Beautification Strategic Plan is to enable residents to acknowledge the connection between a vibrant community and beautiful public spaces. Public art and beautification projects enhance neighborhood identity and improve the quality of life for City of Oshkosh residents. The plan encourages public and private investment towards the improved image of the city and refined cultural experiences for residents and visitors. Defining Place Functional art serving as a navigation tool for tourists and residents Community Attachment Sense of place and connection Improving Accessibility Exposure to culture allowing an inclusive and diverse experience Creating Gathering Spaces Beautification as the link for gathering and connecting with neighbors Enhancing Quality of Life Healthy cultural climate for tourism and neighborhoods. Sharing Information Educational experiences Encouraging Creativity Talent attraction and opportunity GUIDING PRINCIPLES 7 1.2 PLAN BACKGROUND In the past, plans have been developed that involve the concept of visual placemaking and public art, however, much of the planning is limited to sub-areas of the city. Since this could create a disconnect between plans, the city has recognized the potential issue and decided to pursue a city-wide strategic plan to achieve consistency. The intent of the plan is to provide residents and decision makers with strategies to improve access to cultural and artistic amenities. The goal is to connect various groups who are already working towards similar outcomes. Implementation of the plan will encourage investment in the arts and help create a unique sense of place in the community. 1.3 STUDY AREA The recommendations are intended for properties located within the city boundaries, though collaboration with other jurisdictions such as Winnebago County, surrounding municipalities and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources or State of Wisconsin may be necessary. TOOLS FOR INFORMED DECISIONS The plan provides guided strategies for creating and maintaining public art based on staff and community recommendations. CONSISTENCY IN DECISION MAKING The plan reinforces decisions and serves as a consistent reference point for public art and beautification projects. STRENGTHEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS The plan is a complementary addition to existing economic development efforts. It encourages visual and cultural diversity within the community to attract new growth and development. ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE The plan strives to promote cultural assets and increase tourism opportunities. 1.4 WHY IS THIS PLAN IMPORTANT? 8 1.5 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Development of this plan was administered by city planning staff with oversight from the Public Arts and Beautification Committee, who provided guidance and met regularly since May 2017 to review the plan progress. The process included monthly meetings, discussions and comments from committee members and special guests. Public Art and Beautification Committee Meetings The early development of this strategic plan began with the formation of the Public Art and Beautification Committee. Committee members represent a diverse group of stakeholders including artists, community leaders, educators and city representatives. The committee was responsible for oversight, review and development of the plan. They met monthly since May 2017 and created the draft plan from beginning to finalization with the support of Planning Division staff. The committee will continue to meet monthly to secure the implementation of priorities in the plan. Project Website The project website, which is hosted by https://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/PlanningServices/ Plans.aspx, serves as the central place for sharing information about the strategic plan and public engagement opportunities. 9 Survey A public survey was distributed in order to gather a wide range of public feedback to be used in the creation of the strategic plan. The survey was distributed using Polco an online civic engagement platform and was available in paper format upon request. Information about the survey was posted on the project website, social media and via email notification. Survey results are included in Appendix B. Final Report & Adoption The final step in the planning process was the creation of a draft document titled Public Art and Beautification Strategic Plan. The draft plan was presented to the following groups for local review and consideration: Public Arts and Beautification Committee Parks Department Oshkosh Public Library Board Business Improvement District Board Based on feedback, the draft plan was amended and presented to Common Council for adoption on July 9th 2019. 10 SECTION TWO: EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 HISTORY OF PUBLIC ART John Hicks Trust Fund John Hicks, (1847 - 1917), was owner and publisher of the Oshkosh’s Daily Northwestern newspaper and owner of Hicks Printing Company. A member of the board of the Oshkosh Public Library from its establishment in 1895, he had an active interest in plans for the new library building in 1899. He was one of the subscribers to the fund that commissioned busts of library benefactors Marshal Harris and Senator Philetus Sawyer from sculptor Preston Powers. He donated marble busts of George Washington by Hiram Powers and Benjamin Franklin, by Preston Powers, to the library in 1902. Hicks’ first individually commissioned project was Soldiers’ Monument. It was given in memory of Hicks’s father, a member of Company E of the 32nd Wisconsin Infrantry. Hicks commissioned his next original works from Trentanove. The bronze statue of Chief Oshkosh, the Menominee leader for whom the city is named, dates from 1911. He turned to Trentanove again for a pair of bronze lions placed at the original entrance to the Oshkosh Public Library in 1912. Hicks gave the city a bronze replica of Jean Houdon’s statue of George Washington. He commissioned a bronze statue of Carl Schurz by Karl Bitter of New York, and acquired the Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Longfellow busts that graced the Oshkosh Public schools bearing their names for many years. The Lincoln bust was moved to the Oshkosh Public Museum grounds in 2017. When the forsighted Hicks died in 1917, he left a trust fund of $25,000 for “the purchase and erection of statues, busts and monuments in the parks and streets of the City of Oshkosh, and the repair of such as are now in existence or may hereafter be erected” and for “the purchase of books, pictures, maps, drawings and works of art to be placed in the High School and ward schools of the City of Oshkosh. This is not to include any apparatus of any kind, or equipment for sports or amusements.” The fund was to be managed by and under the control of the Board of Directors of the Oshkosh Public Library. The Library Board continues to carry that responsibilty. “Buildings may be destroyed. The city hall or high school may burn and the cornerstone may be removed, but that monument may stand there for no one knows how long...” Hicks 11 12 1 2 345 7 8 9 10 11 13 15 16 17 21 22 24 25 26 27 28 29 Public Art Locations 30 10-11 Downtown Inset 20 1-9 12 6 18 23 19 14 31 32 13 2.2 EXISTING PUBLIC ART INVENTORY 1 GULLIVER’S TRAVELS Project Lake Fly, Deb Bartelt, Fiberglass 4 PEST OF THE OPERA Project Lake Fly, Christian Andersson, Fiberglass 8 A BEAUTY IN THE CYCLE OF LIFE Project Lake Fly, Evergreen Ageless Artists, Fiberglass 7 OUTER SPACE Project Lake Fly, Ray Fehrenbach, Fiberglass 9 LAKE FLY OF SUCCESS AND OPPORTUNITY Project Lake Fly, Artists fo LLP.

The Pride of Oshkosh (2004) was a themed sculpture initiative which consisted of 33 fiberglass replications of the bronze lion statues located on the steps of the Oshkosh Public Library. The lions were designed by local artists and sold in auction for fundraising. Most of the lion sculptures are owned privately and the current locations of all 33 are not known. Another project was Nutcrackers on the Town (2010), 50 fiberglass nutcrackers were designed by local artists and auctioned for charity. Project Lake Fly (2018) was a similar art project, although it did not serve as a fundraiser, consisting of nine fiberglass Lake Flys uniquely designed by local artists. These sculptures are owned by the City of Oshkosh and are displayed year-round. There are robust collections containing a variety of art located at these local institutions, public access to the collections may vary: Additional Information 11 EVENT CITY’S STAR SPANGLED GRAND MARSHAL Ron Schmitz, Fiberglass 17 University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh The Paine Art Center and Gardens Oshkosh Public Museum 18 SECTION THREE: VISION 3.2 SURVEY REVIEW The Public Art and Beautification Committee developed a survey through a civic engagement platform, Polco, in the summer of 2018. The survey was available to respondents for five months between July and November 2018. Anyone who is subscribed to the City of Oshkosh Polco account was allowed to submit survey responses, 92% of respondents were residents in the City of Oshkosh with the remainder consisting of students or people who work in the city. Polco requires that respondents have access to a computer which may affect the results of who is able to repsond to the survey. There were a total of 199 respondents to the survey. Overall, it appeared that the respondents understood the benefits of creating more public art, but they didn’t want tax payers to fund the initiative without private investment as well. More than one person indicated in the open ended sections that public art may not be the first priority compared to homelessness, education, safety and infrastructure. The full results of the survey can be found in Appendix B, which contain more answers to these open ended questions. 3.1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Public Arts and Beautification Strategic Plan is to deliver a preliminary strategic framework to guide the efforts of the Public Art and Beautification Committee and City of Oshkosh. The action plan is focused on and specific to the needs of the city’s arts community and residents. This section offers a series of short-term and long-term organizational and project specific strategies and actions to position Oshkosh as an arts and culture destination. The development of the vision section was based on monthly meetings and feedback from the city-wide survey. The recommendations include ideas that are meant to inspire art based project opportunities on public and private property. Project ideas were selected based on feasibility, committee interest and potential costs. The action plan expands on the desired goals of the committee by providing more details for the future direction of the city. 19 SURVEY RESULTS AT A GLANCE 56% Did not know about the city’s public art collection While 56% of respondents agreed that public art is a priority for them, only 6% thought that public dollars should be used for public art Most respondents would prefer to be involved in public art by attending events or watching a performance Respondents want public art to create pride and identity in their community while making the city attractive for tourism, new residents and businesses 78% believed that public art should be funded through private and public partnerships The Riverwalk and downtown were the two most popular locations for new public art81% of respondents thought that public art has the ability to provide a sense of place and increase attractiveness in the city Top types of public art: • Statues • Monuments • Sculptures • Themed Gardens • Murals 20 3.3 IDENTIFIED OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PUBLIC REALM 1 Utility Boxes Many communities, including Appleton Wisconsin, have partnered with local artists to decorate utility boxes commonly found near public sidewalks. 2 Under-Utilized Spaces The Passageways, alley activation project, created vibrant pedestrian corridors and established a sense of place in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. Through the use of art installations that enhanced the public space, pedestrians were invited to interact with the changed spaces. 3 Creative Crosswalks Artistically designed crosswalks are intended to breakup pavement and emphasize crossings as an extension of the pedestrian realm. It may not be used as a traffic calming method, but it can improve on the aesthetic of the street. 4 Street Furniture In 2014, the City of Baltimore installed a public art sculpture that also served as a bus shelter. It offers shelter and seating with an artistic element. 5 Gateways The Paseo Santa Fe Improvement Project in Vista, California was divided into three implementation phases starting in 2016. Phase one included the addition of a gateway arch sign creating an identity for the corridor. 6 Written Sidewalks Saint Paul, Minnesota has been imprinting short poems into city sidewalks since 2008. With over 751 poems citywide, the project has its own map for those wishing to locate all of them. 7 Interactive Art The Mirror Labyrinth NY made of polished stainless steel creates an artistic space for viewers to explore and experience the sculpture. 1 2 2 The following outlines examples of projects that were discussed as potential opportunities to help achieve the goals in this plan. 21 3 4 5 6 7 22 1 Blank Walls Many property owners are re- envisioning their blank walls as a mural canvas which may be designed to engage the viewer; “selfie walls” create a destination while providing a new photo opportunity for visitors. 3.4 IDENTIFIED OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PRIVATE REALM 3 Events Bazaar After Dark is a temporary marketplace based in the Fox Cities of Wisconsin, offering homemade goods and live art creation. The City of Oshkosh is home to the annual Chalk Walk event. Artists are invited to create unique images on the sidewalks using only chalk. Visitors can experience live art creation. Art based events have the ability to center regional attention on the amenities that Oshkosh has to offer while fostering local collaboration through art. 4 Ghost Sign A ghost sign is an old hand-painted advertisement that has been preserved on a building for an extended period of time, there is a movement to restore these old signs back to their original quality. 1 2 Vacant Storefronts Restart With Art enhances vacant storefronts with art installations in South Orange Village, New Jersey. The first art installation was placed in the former Blockbuster building. While storefronts may be temporarily vacant, this offers a high profile location for artists to share their work which projects the idea to visitors that the street is cared for. Some are describing it as “street-level curating”. 5 Corporate Art The Shiel Sexton headquarters was turned into a downtown Indianapolis landmark with the addition of a sculpture on the outside of the building. Artistic investments may have an abstract benefit, but many companies are using this tool to support the local aesthetic or improve their image. 23 4 5 2 3 3 24 3.5 ACTION PLAN GOAL 1: ENHANCE PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR AND APPRECIATION OF THE ARTSObjective: Enhance Oshkosh as an art destination.

Recognizing that our community has many needs, is Public Art a priority for you? 56% Yes 44% No 11. Please provide any additional feedback in the box below. • I’m a little confused that we call this a “strategic” plan?! We have a Comprehensive Plan and a Strategic Plan. This should be an Arts and Beautification “Plan “ integrated with the aforementioned higher level Plans. • I’d love to provide art along highways and roads, but not in roundabouts--drivers need to pay attention there! • Arts need to have public funding for our public spaces. There should be a maintenance fund as well. • It’s a priority, but not when compared to public safety, roads that don’t destroy your vehicle, clean water, maintaining parks, building maintenance, etc. It’s important, but competes against many other important items of expense. • I’ve seen art in different cities, and sometimes the art detracts from the natural beauty of a community. An artist might believe some artwork enhances a community’s appearance, but other people will look at the same artwork and see “clutter” and view the art as detracting from aesthetics. I’m cautious in supporting permanent art for that reason. If we get into art, then I hope we pursue temporary exhibits or very minimal infrastructure. I’m concerned about the cost, which often has a way of increasing over time, as storage and maintenance and other costs arise. We often have good intentions about keeping costs low, and I’m in favor of supporting valuable community enhancements with resident dollars, but please try to envision ongoing costs with this type of effort. Thanks for gathering community input. I do not really have a desire for seeing art in any particular location and checked “Riverwalk” just so they survey would accept my answers. • I enjoy the street art/murals, etc., that are found in cities like MKE, Chicago, and Detroit. While I haven’t traveled to these places specifically for the art, the art made the city more culturally interesting, walkable, and intriguing. I have sought out projects while visiting places. I also enjoy sculptural art on the streets. Not 35 necessarily heritage or history sculptures but abstract sculptures, metal art, and art designed to create sound in the wind. • We need to remember that art comes in many forms and expresses different things. To move forward to this; it’s not just “white art” we should include. The art should reflect the diversity of our city and even though we are predominantly white there are many people of color, who have their own unique art that we would represent as well. My question is who in the city will decide what art is? Graffiti art, tastefully done is really quite splendid. Mosaic art reminiscent of Hispanic and Arabic culture is beautiful. Same with music... if we are to offer music event, why not offer a hip hop, Motown, a salsa band, as well as the usual music that is offered here in town at festivals. Also, billboard art! Please take down the tasteless billboards that welcome drivers into Oshkosh on 41 North and South. Do we really need three, four, or five billboards announcing the adult store at the next exit! Geez. I realize those are on private land, but could we at least have some city ordinances about the content of billboards? Other cities have done it (Phoenix, AZ). Love the arts, let’s support it! • I have wanted to see the Riverwalk built up and promoted with permanent art for years now... The process for getting city aproval for public art installations needs to be transparent, timely, and logical. If it isn’t, this will fail. • Public art should be a consideration when new development takes place, and should always be an option to add to public spaces. • Oshkosh needs a Center For The Arts. • Roads before statues. • I’m afraid art would be used as a band-aid to cover up run-down buildings. • All the best cities in the world have public art. It lasts for centuries when planned out. It’s there way beyond the generation that provides the creativity and funding. • I would have stronger support for public art if the city adequately maintained its current infrastructure in a manner that showed a sense of pride. It is difficult to justify funds expenditures (or seeking donations) when existing infrastructure of parks, government buildings and public rights of way are not adequately maintained or landscaped. • The restrictions for murals on buildings is ridiculous. The rules for murals/signs on building need to be changed. • Public art defines a city and it’s culture. It creates a unifying force of beauty that is universally appreciated. We know and understand history and prehistory by art. • I was especially disappointed by the new Oshkosh signs at the entry to the city. The top half with the message is great, professional design. The bottom, faux stone base looks very amateurish and quite frankly embarrassing, especially with the great talent we have in Oshkosh. • I think public art is lacking in Oshkosh and could be used to bring tourists to the area and increase revenue. It could also be used to increase physical activity if placed along riverwalk. • The last 20 years have been exciting for Oshkosh in terms of development and beautification. The public art projects (Nutcrackers/Lions, gallery walk, sundial, brick sidewalks, benches, planters, etc) have helped form an identity, attracting creative contributors, and visually support the cultural events. I’d like to see some of the proposals brought to fruition in the Sawdust District (brick sidewalks, gas lamps, benches, park space), and consider featuring similar public art anchors in key points in the city. The Northeast side would do well to increase green space and public art installations. Our most troubled schools have the least amount of access to green space, which is consistent with the research in education that highlights solutions in that arena. Some of the most exciting, community-rich spaces I have seen across the country, have consistently included water/ fountains, ambient lighting, various levels of seating, sculptures, and mature trees/green space. • Great survey to start getting involved. Looking forward to more info. 36 • Survey is very close minded in the way you offer questions. Q11 for example, should have a larger opportunity to answer differently. This is not simply black or white. Also, your choosing of the options for all questions assumes there are not other options. • In the future save all available river front for public use. • Creative peacemaking grants are abundant through the state of WI. If you’re going to do this justice, someone should sit down with name redacted from Appleton Downtown Inc and learn from the best. She and her team have done an excellent job bring art alive in downtown Appleton. • Preserve our historic sites such as the Lakeshore property. • This is a great opportunity to provide inclusivity in our community which is very needed. There is a diverse population here, yet we aren’t doing enough to celebrate that diversity. • We need a dog park far more than we need a statue. Please put a vote out here for the community input on a city dog park. I know quarry park is an option, why isn’t it being talked about? • Art is the only thing that sets a community apart from both one another. Otherwise it’s all just the same. Boring buildings and boring streets which leads to boring people working and residing on and in them. • We need to clean up a lot of neighborhoods, otherwise public arts is pointless to beautiful our community. • The Arts play a critical part in a city’s identification and contribute to the quality of life. The Arts bring vitality to a city and raise the potential as a cultural destination that will continually re-energize the community. • Public Art should only be created, planned, constructed, and placed through educational entities in the city (such as OASD, University, and Paine Art Center). This program should be 100% funded by private donations. The ONLY involvement by the City is approval of placement within the city. Maintenance and upkeep should be a joint project of public and private entities. • It would be very nice to have but I don’t know priorities based on budget and importance to the community. • Need more natural areas more plant diversity wild flowers less requirements restrictive landscaping we needs private landscaping to allow for incorporated natural landscaping. Grass requirement are not good for our environment bees butterflies I had a natural landscaping and got fined and had to cut my so called weeds done but was natural wild plants for bees and butterfly habitats. • This should be a VERY low priority when we have people in this city living on the streets if this city wants to better itself how about helping those people with a year round homeless shelter so they have at least basic things like showers and laundry and perhaps a mailing address or phone for job interviews to help these people get off the streets and back to taking care of themselves. Another major issue would be the housing conditions in this city the cost of repairs and upgrades is bad enough maybe the city could offer low (just below fed) interest or interest-free loans to citizens for home improvements new siding new roof both of which cost well into the thousands to get done. On top of that it seems in this city you need to have a permit to get a permit to talk to the guy about getting the permit to even remove a shed from “your” property there has to be something that can be done about that. • Who will judge and evaluate the quality of the art installations? • Tasteful graffiti is beautiful! • A focus on arts and education always builds up a community. Please demonstrate the importance of art to the Oshkosh community. 37 APPENDIX C - PUBLIC ART INVENTORY Name Artist Year Material Bust of Marshall Harris Preston Powers 1900 White Marble Bust of Philetus Sawyer Preston Powers 1900 White Marble Bust of George Washington Preston Powers 1902 Soldier's Monument Gaetano Trentanove 1907 Bronze Abraham Lincoln Adolph Alexander Weinman 1909 Bronze Thomas Jefferson Godham Company Foundry 1910 Bronze Bust of Benjamin Franklin Unknown 1911 Bronze George Washington Statue Chevalier Gaetano Trentanove 1911 Bronze Bust of George Washington Unknown 1911 Bronze Monument to Chief Oshkosh Chevalier Gaetano Trentanove 1911 Bronze The Library Lions Gaetano Trentanove 1912 Bronze Bust of John Hicks Chevalier Gaetano Trentanove 1912 White Marble The Carl Schurz Monument Karl Theodore Francis Bitter 1914 Bronze Bust of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Thomas Broke 1915 Bronze The Hiker Monument Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson 1939 Bronze The Globe All-Wars Monument Unknown 1963 Grey granite Red Arrow Monument Red Arrow Division 1971 Granite Abstract in Blue Richard Medlock 1975 Painted Steel Four White Columns Richard Medlock 1975 Painted Steel Yin and Yang Milt Gardener 1980 Bronze Bust of Benjamin Franklin Unknown 1998 Sundial Unknown 2000 Bust of Chief Oshkosh Bernard P.
