I have been producing art for the past 41 years, some of which has been sold and other pieces given as gifts. My artwork media has been in oil, metal, and ceramic. I have made a sculpture from found objects, in Key West, and applied brazing to the surface of a galvanized water tank. Please see further description of the piece below. The leasee of the Salute Restaurant on Higgs Beach has asked that I place my recent creation next to his restaurant. Since he does not lease that portion of the public land, I am applying to the Council for placing my sculpture on the beach next to the restaurant. Please see attached site plan for location of siting of the sculpture. The site is out of the way of pedestrians and the sculpture is maintenance free and cannot be damaged by persons desiring such an act. My resume is attached below. See close up photos which are included below in the photo section of this proposal. Description of sculpture: Name: Wind Chime (Industrial Strength) Dimensions: Approximately 12' tall x 10' triangle base Material: Found metal object, brazing & concrete Description: The sculpture is made from a vintage water tank made of 1/4" galvanized steel with riveted joints. The surface has a female figure brazed (bronze welding) onto front and rear of the tank. The support structure is a tetrahedron made from custom made bronzed feet, concrete base and 1" reinforcing steel. The piece was designed to chime in the sense of a wind chime when the winds are strong enough to move the metal wind catch at the bottom of the tank. This piece could be installed on land or shallow water. Site of Proposed Sculpture G gle ir 14 4j Or . k04- sculpture site Page 1 IM Google Earth -Directions 9/17/11 Artist's Resume DENNIS A.

He has made every effort to follow procedure in requesting permission and gaining support from the County Mayor, the Friends of Higgs Beach, and Mr. Richard Hatch, owner of Salute restaurant. Mr. Beebe will provide any documentation required by both the Public Works department and the legal department of the County. Monroe County is a leader in the State with its prestigious 1% for Public Art ordinance, and the opportunity to further promote our local artists in a public space is most worthy of the Commissions' support. We are fortunate to display artwork throughout the County in all of our government facilities; this would be a new venture (on the beach) and will be a most positive addition to the Higgs Beach area which is experiencing a renaissance. If I may, I'd like to also recommend that the Arts Council and the Art in Public Places Committee work together with the Public Works Division and the County Attorney's office to develop a plan that would incorporate best practices and procedures that could allow us to have a standard policy in place to use with any future requests of this nature. Thank you for your continuing support of the arts and cultural community in Monroe County. Sincerely, Elizabeth S.

I would love to see and hear Dennis Beebe's wind chime set up outside the restaurant at the county beach. There is a great spot right by the utility pole only feet away from our outdoor dining patio that would not be in the way of the public. The public meanwhile; beach goers and restaurant patrons, locals and tourists, joggers and dog walkers would get to enjoy a beautiful sculpture from a local artist. My wife and I love sculpture in public places. We just returned from a visit to Portland, Oregon. We walked all over town and appreciated sculptures in many different city settings.
