________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
10 sculptures and 3 alternates were recommended by the Olathe Public Art Committee for the 2021 Downtown Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit. The sculptures were reviewed by Council at the February 2nd meeting. After considering feedback from the Council, the committee has recommended 9 sculptures to be featured in the 2021 Exhibit.
The 9 sculptures recommended to be featured in the exhibit are:
Artist Sculpture Title
Nicole Beck Asteray
Nathan Pierce Selene
Rhoda Powers Summer Fun
James Payne Isolation
Brian Ferriby Firewalker
Chris Itsell Uplift
Sunghee Min Cherry
Kirk Seese The Feather
Reven Swanson Butterflies within a Butterfly
Alternates:
Nathan Pierce Indigenous
Andrew Denton Lovearch
The sculptures will be leased by the City for one year. Final sculpture locations are still to be determined; it is necessary for site location to be flexible, as sculptures may need to be relocated after arrival to ensure the best fit for each sculpture site.
