There’s a new installment of public art coming soon and the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee announcement is just in.
What’s really cool is the new Google map showing where all the public art is located.
The new art showcase is seeking applications from artists for works that will be displayed at 8 community parks for two years now instead of just one (2024-2026). What’s also great is that the artists will get a higher honorarium as well as an opportunity to sell their art.
We finished the trek to all the sculptures in the new Art in the Parks collection. It was quite a day for walking in the August heat, but we made it. It was a day for the “nearly.” It was nearly 90 degrees and we walked nearly 5 miles.
Here’s a tip. The sculpture Emerging by Hilde DeBruyne is more than twice as far from Riverfront Crossings Park as it is from Terry Trueblood Recreation Area on the Iowa River Trail. But if you’re up for the exercise, go for it. The art is worth the walk.
All the sculptures are very interesting and worth making a day of exploration.
