EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT
Ms. Thomson reported that based on the board's first round feedback, five artists were selected to
submit concept proposals for the screen art on the Fourth and WIlliam parking structure. Ms. Thomson
sent the artists' proposals and a survey link to help select the final concept to the board members
yesterday. Responses are due by July 14th. She provided an update on upcoming Fourth Avenue
construction pauses due to the Ann Arbor Art Fair, car show, and two concerts at the Big House this
month. Ms. Thomson stated the July Work Session was moved from the 15th to the 22nd due to
vacation schedules and the consultant's availability. She said there are several important materials that
will be discussed at the Work Session. She will be sending an email to the board members this
afternoon to confirm whether or not they will be able to attend. If the majority of members are not able to
attend the Work Session, it will be cancelled and the material will be added to the August Work Session
agenda.
