| "Three Creeks" by Steve Bush |
Assistant City Administrator
Last year, the Gahanna Parks and Recreation Foundation (GPRF) commissioned Gahanna’s first piece of public art, Three Creeks, which is now located by the lagoon at Creekside Park. The art was funded by a private donation received in 2010 specifically to fund public art in the Creekside District.
The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Foundation has commissioned a second public art piece that will be unveiled at the 2012 “Friday After Five” Fundraiser, on Friday, September 21. The Committee is once again working with area artist, Steve Bush to build the piece. However, the committee took a new and innovative approach by partnering with Gahanna Lincoln High School students to design the piece.
Steve has worked with the students to design appropriate public art
pieces and on April 18th, Steve presented seven designs to members of
the Public Art Steering Committee and residents, who were in attendance. The pieces for consideration were narrowed to two.
Join the Public Art Steering Committee as the two student finalists l present their designs on location Wednesday, May 16. We will meet on the Creekside Plaza by the water wall at 6 PM. Give your opinion and be part of the process!
We are very excited and would like this to be a community effort, of which we can ALL be very proud. Come out and support the ARTs in Gahanna. We hope to see you there!
