SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH J.K. DESIGNS FOR
PUBLIC ART
That the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement to design, fabricate and
install public art in the future renovated Downey Theater Plaza with J.K. Designs, Inc. (dba: The
National Sculptor's Guild); and authorize the City Manager to execute any and all amendments
to the agreement.
The Downey City Council adopted the original Art in Public Places Program on November 22,
2005. The goal of Downey's Art in Public Places Program is to provide original artworks that
are easily accessible to the general public throughout the City. The Art in Public Places
Program is designed to offer a wide range of artistic styles, themes, and media, all of
outstanding quality. The unique variety of artistic styles is chosen to provoke discussion and
encourage comment. The Art in Public Places Program is dependent on public-private
cooperation between the City, artists, and the developer. The Art in Public Places Program also
provides the Downey City Council with the flexibility to initiate public art projects on City -owned
property, and to provide for faces where public art is displayed.
Staff has been working with Council Members of the Theater Subcommittee regarding various
art installations for the Theater Plaza area. Recently staff and the Council Members agreed
upon the "Tree of Life" design of sculptor Clay Enoch, who is a Fellow at The National Sculptor's
Guild, as depicted on Attachment "A". This art piece would be installed in the center of the
proposed improvements of the future renovated Downey Theater Plaza.
JK Designs' Principal, John Kinkade, founded the National Sculptor's Guild in 1992, with a
handful of sculptors who wished to find thoughtful public applications for their work.
Representation has since grown to over 40 contracted painters and sculptors on display at their
headquarters, the Columbine Gallery, plus an extended network of 200+ artists that their design
team works with on a regular basis. When appropriate, the design team grows to include
structural engineers, architects, landscape architects, light designers, fountain specialists,
designers and contractors specific to each project from around the nation. The National

Sculptor's Guild provides a turnkey operation, handling every component of the art process from
pre -design to installation.
The purpose of the National Sculptor's Guild is to champion a community of artists and to serve
as a bridge between these artists and the public. They work with many cities throughout the
country, but the proposed "Tree of Life" design is a first for California.
The National Sculptor's Guild Fellow, Clay Enoch, who will create the "Tree of Life", participated
in the Tennessee Governor's School for the Fine Arts, before earning his Bachelor's of Fine Arts
from Wheaton College in Illinois.
The total project cost, which includes pre -design, design, fabrication and installation of the "Tree
of Life" artwork, is $375,000. The artist services and project timeline are listed within the
Professional Services Agreement as Exhibits "A" and "B".
