A call to out -of -area artists (as stipulated by the grant) was put out on a nationwide level, and preliminary ideas were discussed with the KSMC Board and the Arkansas Arts Council. Upon selection of Molly Ross in January 2000, two residents of the Kramer, Charlotte Allison and Jennefer Fowler, took on leaders -hip roles for the project and began to formalize ideas for the sculpture garden. The sculpture garden arose as a -way for residents to communally utilize and beautify the large expanse of lawn on the Kramer's north side while still providing public art. Th.e. archway Molly designed would serve as the initial sculpture. Others could be added within the garden site at a later date, -with other grants. The -garden itself would be a gathering place for both residents. and community members. The garden area would be small, and- low -maintenance to start, with room for enhancement in the designs. Since there were many children around- or in. the building, efforts were made to plant only nontoxic and "Pricker -free" foliage. The archway and .garden has stepping stones that connect it to other sites on the property, such as the front portico, the parking lot, and the barbeque pit area in the back. The stepping stones are constructed of the same materials that the archway is to provide contiguity. Another concern was the historic element. Renovated and reopened in 1997, the Kramer's developers worked closely with the historic Register and other groups. The sculpture garden needed to adhere to that sensitivity, and create a space that would integrate with the old building. The project leaders sought to incorporate leftover granite and other materials still present from renovation. The design of the arch would be unobtrusive and organic, with an effort to echo the shapes present in the original architecture. The garden site would be visible to road traffic, inviting, but still perceptible as part of the Kramer grounds. Description of the Millennium Project: Kramer School Artist Cooperative Sculpture Garden Charlotte Allison, Administrator Overview The Kramer's goal is to use the grant to facilitate a residency for an out -of -region artist to come and work with the Coop and achieve several things: 1) The Kramer would like to see the installation of a sculpture garden. 2) The visiting artist would be a sculptor, of either steel or stone. S/he would work with a team of Kramer residents to design, create and install at least one sculpture. 3) A second team would be in charge of designing and planting the corresponding garden element. This second team would also have a "community outreach" component, in that it would utilize a group the Kramer has some ties with, such as Argenta, ARC, Umoja, or some other group yet to be named. Group(s) would be present on day(s) we do digging and planting. Factors currently in play 1) The Kramer has reviewed applications from interested sculptors and has selected Molly Ross, of Baltimore, MD, to design a concrete archway that leads into a garden area. 2) The Kramer has planned a "Painting Party" fundraiser for April 1, 2000, to augment available moneys ($3750). See description, following. 3) The Kramer is inventorying its available equipment and onhand supplies, such as the leftover bricks and granite. 4) The Kramer is projecting the site of the sculpture garden to be the Northwest corner of the lawn, pending blueprint information of the underground geothermal system.

EMIIRONMENTAL ARTISTS, LARGESCALE OUTDOOR PROJECT ARTISTS) Who We Are The Kramer School Artist Cooperative is a work/live space apartment building with22 units. In downtown Little Rock, the Kramer is a renovated- elementary school and on the historic register. We are near the Arkansas River, the River Market District, the historic Quapaw Quarter and convenient highway connections. We residents are either artists or supporters of the arts community. As a cooRerative we applied for the Millennium grant to sponsor an out -of -region artist, and we have received $3750 with which to transport and pay an artist for a short residency here with us, with a specific project in mind. The Project The Kramer has a huge, north facing lawn on which we would like to begin a sculpture garden. We are looking for an artist who can work with steel or stone within a group project. We residents wish to landscape the area to feature the new sculpture(s). There are certain parameters to consider: expense, available -materials, an -underground geothermal system that must be worked around, and a need to remain within historic preservation groups` guidelines. If You -Are Interested (and we hope you are) Please submit a design idea, prospectus, materials list, fee, and calendar for your application for the residency. Your application will be reviewed by the Millennium Project Committee, so please describe with detail. Designs and applications will not be returned unless you submit an SASE. Deadline for submission is January 25, 2000. Other Timeline Info The grant must be used by June of 2000..The visiting artist would be put up here by varying residents for up to two weeks (negotiable). We must have date of residency confirmation from approved artist(s) by April 1, 2000, to allow for transportation arrangement, etc. For More Information To find out more about us, here are some contact numbers.

A sculpture garden is a form of public art that can be enjoyed by all ages and also enhances the beauty of the renovated Kramer School's grounds.
