Public Art Project Number 6

Wow, we're really getting up there. We (meaning myself, Madeleine Eames, and about 35 Salmon Arm kids) just completed the sixth public art project in the downtown. We gathered at Fletcher Park last week to bash tile and create many little images about things we love about the Shuswap. There are flowers, mountains, sky, suns, lake, fish, birds, houses, a cat and a crab. Plus a few abstract works from those budding Mondrians. It is located in the centre of the park, right beside City Hall. The adhesive should be set by now, and we will be grouting this week. For many years to come, kids will be able to see the little dash of colour they added to this world.

Public art project number 6, after the bumpy things at the post office, the apples at SASCU, the family at Fletcher Park, the City Hall art collection, and the Ross Street Plaza water fountain pebble tiles. This is only the second one created by kids. Soon, we will have many very small public artworks around town created by this community's children.... watch and see!
