100th YEAR ANNIVERSARY ART TOWER PROPOSAL About: The Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) is celebrating their 100th year anniversary in 2015. They have tasked Made with creating large scale, unexpected art installations for four birthday surprises throughout the year. As part of these surprises, we are interested in wrapping three water towers with large scale art from the museum's collection (Monet, Picasso, Da Vinci, etc.). We would apply a large format graphic (laminate, non pvc) of the artwork on water towers that have high visibility for the summer months. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is interested specifically in the Lino Lakes water tower considering the location and the visibility. They believe that this would create a wow factor for the public relations angle of the project. We are expecting that the towers will get expansive media coverage, both local and national. The most recent birthday surprise (created and organized by Made), a 150' long Chinese dragon carved of ice, was picked up nationally by USA Today, CBS Evening News, and NPR's "All Things Considered". It received over 1.5 million hashtags on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Please note: this is not intended for advertising for the MIA. It is intended to bring an element of surprise through artwork into the public (outside the walls of the museum) where it is not often seen. Please see the MIA birthday year here: http://new.artsmia.org/100/52-surprises/ Details are listed below: 1) Made ("Service Provider"); and 2) City of Lino Lakes ("Participant") The city of Lino Lakes would agree to comply with the proposal (defined below) detailed by the Service Provider and the Service Provider agrees to provide the Participant with any and all information on the terms and conditions of this proposal.
