Description of Project

• The Village of Port Washington North, in
  partnership with TNH and Residents, has secured
  grants and municipal commitments to create a Bay
  Walk Waterfront Park.
• A key component and the one the Nautical
  Committee is specifically tasked to oversee is
  the creation of a ¾ mile long path that will
  skirt Shore Road.
• The path will include lighting, landscaping and
  seating, but the artistic inlays and designs are
  the main focus of this project.

7
Inlay and Art Designs

• Between six and ten inlays and art made of
  various materials will depict the selected topic.
  
• The approximately six-by-six-foot inlays will be
  placed along the Bay Walk and will become part of
  the walkway itself.
• Various mediums are being considered including
  granite, mosaic, lucite, as well as various
  durable metals.

8
Nautical Topics

• Since the Bay Walk skirts a shoreline of
  Manhasset Bay, the Nautical Arts Committee agreed
  the topics should relate to the Bay. These
  topics, in no specific order are
• Aviation Recreational Fishing
• Sailing Fish/Water Birds/Shore Plants
• Shellfishing Resort Hotels/Day Trippers
• Cocks Mill Coastal Trading
• Sand Mining Gold Cup Motorboat Racing
• Boat Building Kayaking/Skulling

Art Design Parameters

• How each inlay or art topic will be depicted will
  be determined by the artist and discussed with a
  committee prior to completing the artwork.
• Artists will be given relative freedom with
  respect to the mediums in which the designs will
  be interpreted/created.
• there are certain guidelines that must be adhered
  to based on durability, public safety, ADA
  issues, cost, etc.
• If art is selected but it cannot be depicted in
  an outdoor medium, the art could instead be
  featured in a signage case similar to what will
  be used to narrate various inlay/art topic and
  other points of interest along the Bay Walk.

16
Submission Agreement

• Deadline for final submission of proposed design
  is April 30, 2007
• Multiple submissions covering various
  topics/different creative styles can be
  submitted.
• Submission can be no larger than 11 x 17 and
  three color (if applicable) copies of each
  submission is required.
• Submission must be accompanied by desired
  compensation for design of the artwork and
  involvement with production of the inlay itself,
  although the cost to produce the inlay is a
  separate cost.
• If the artist will also be producing the inlay,
  medium production cost estimates should also be
  provided, separate from the design fees.
• The artist must sign a waiver allowing the
  Committee to publicize, promote or otherwise
  feature the artwork in whatever materials desired
  related to the Bay Walk project.
• The artist is also free to duplicate their design
  and sell once they have completed the Bay Walk
  project.

17
Next Steps

• Once final submissions are obtained, entire
  Committee will review submissions, determine how
  many inlays will be produced.
• A sub-committee will be formed to oversee the
  details of the inlays (selection of mediums,
  submissions, public safety, etc).
