The Common Council adopted a resolution amending the Mitchell Park general development site plan and approving a related agreement with the Wilson Center for the Arts to permit the development of the proposed ArtsPark. The Wilson Center is located in Mitchell Park, which is operated by the city of Brookfield. The Wil- son Center board of direc- tors previously approved the agreement, and Brook- field's Park and Recreation Commission did the same Aug. 8. "It's very exciting," said Susan Cerletty, chairwom- an of the Wilson Center's Visual Arts Committee. "This project has the poten- tial to not only be a beauti- ful place for people who live in Brookfield, it has the potential to be a big draw to this area." On April 6, the commis- sion endorsed and approved a request from the Wilson Center to amend the Mitchell Park general development site plan to permit the development of the ArtsPark on grounds within and adjacent to the Wilson Center. The commission also approved six locations for the placement of artwork sculptures as the initial phase of the plan subject to an agreement to be drafted by the city attorney. The master site plan for the ArtsPark describes the feature as "a mosaic of the visual and performing arts in harmony with nature." The ArtsPark, in its perfect form, will serve to marry art and the outdoor setting surrounding the Wilson Center. The agreement adopted Sept. 6 formalizes the rela- tionship between the city and Wilson Center as it per- tains to the ArtsPark. Brookfield Director of Parks, Recreation & Forestry Bill Kolstad explained the agreement to Mayor Steven Ponto and the Common Council in a memo dated Aug. 30. The facility will be named the Lynn Chappy ArtsPark, and will be part of Mitchell Park and the Wilson Center. The city and Wilson Cen- ter will work together on design details, lighting, landscaping and more. The Wilson Center is responsi- ble for any costs, mainte- nance and security associ- ated with the ArtsPark. The public is to have free access to the ArtsPark, unless otherwise specified by the city because of a spe- cial event. The ArtsPark is being funded by a $50,000 Nation- al Endowment for the Arts Our Town grant and a donation from Chappy, for whom the park is named. The ArtsPark will include six sculptures by the end of this year. Per- haps the best-known sculp- ture is "Flit," a lighted installation by Wisconsin artist Nizar Schaller put in place earlier this summer. "Flit" is mounted in the Soerens Circle Drive out- side the main entrance of the Wilson Center, and stands 15 feet tall. The sculpture's key feature is 122 light-emitting diodes. According to the Wilson Center website, Schaller said his sculpture is a trib- ute to nature. Cerletty said the ArtsPark's purpose is to join nature and the arts in a dedicated space on the grounds of the Wilson Cen- ter. "It's an integration of nature and then art of man," Cerletty said. "It will not be a static environ- ment. It will be a dynamic environment. It will marry many of the facets of nature, including the geo- logical history and cultural history, with art and perfor- mance and the landscape in the area." Wilson Center space promises to marry art, nature Artist rendering of "Host" by Wisconsin artists Gail Simp- son and Aristotle Georgiades, to be installed in Lynn Chappy ArtsPark this fall.
