3.1. Temporary Public Art Installation Agreement
Jamie Sullivan of Trebella Art addressed the Council regarding two upcoming sculpture installations, presenting details about their design and placement. She noted that she currently has sculptures displayed at the library and Anderson Park, each featuring a geocache element. This interactive addition has already attracted 16 visitors from outside the area, specifically drawn by the art.
The new sculptures will be installed at two locations: one outside City Hall and the other near the band-shell in City Park. Both pieces will embody nature-inspired forms. Sullivan expressed her gratitude for the opportunity and mentioned that some final refinements, including plastic edging for safety, are still in progress.
