Potential Downtown Roundabout Sculpturesaa
  • Home
PUBLIC ART PROJECT BACKGROUND:
Thank you for your interest in the City’s Downtown Public Art Project. As part of the Center Street Streetscape Project, the City incorporated five round-a-bouts to manage traffic flow from Ash to Elm. Four round-a-bouts were designed to display significantly sized sculpture pieces. Median gathering points, as well as the entrance of the John Street parking lot house smaller sculpture pieces - perfect for photo opportunities. In total, 9 sculptures are selected on an annual lease basis for several reasons. First and foremost, we believe having art changed out each year will add an element of excitement and interest to downtown. Other benefits to this approach include: reduction of upfront costs, reduction of long-term maintenance costs and the possibility that at somepoint, everyone will experience a piece they favor and, if you don;t like a piece, you have the comfort of knowing it is temporary.

A Selection Committee works with a public art consultant to narrow applicants down from 60+ to the 14 pieces you see below.

VOTING PROCESS:
Now, we'd like to hear from you! Please double-click on each piece, BELOW, to leave your feedback. Each comment will be compiled to determine a public consensus and narrow down our final 9 sculpture pieces to be displayed from September 2024 - September 2025. Voting ends Thursday, July 24th at 11:59pm
