Exact scope, approach and timeline of fly is contingent upon outcome of Innovative Grant.  If funding doesn’t come through, those funds will be supplemented by funding from the base public art project, replacing birdbox post project with artist providing more of a community-liaison/artist-residency approach.  If the grant comes through, the artist will provide infrastructure as originally-planned.  Given all the unknowns at this point and the need to coordinate outreach efforts with multiple organizations (related to school academic years), exact end date for installation of this piece are to be determined.

Exact approach and timeline of flow is similarly contingent upon a potential collaboration with a local photographer.  If an agreed esthetic approach with a local photographer can be developed, there’s an additional 2 months built into the timeline to allow for their photographic work.  Otherwise I will obtain suitable stock photography through an image bank with an earlier installation date.

All timelines noted here are estimates based on assumptions about several factors that are beyond the artist’s control (timely reviews, community collaborations, invoice turnaround, subcontractor performance, etc).  While the desire is to complete the work in a timely and efficient manner, since we aren’t under a base project coordination deadline, patience is the watchword…and, as always, quality in all it’s immeasurable aspects is the ultimate arbiter.
