| CitySites
The CitySites
program was founded by the City of Kettering to develop
a public art program in Kettering through the installation
and maintenance of public works of art. The Art in
Public Places Committee was established through resolution
by the Kettering City Council in 1998 to oversee,
program and develop a collection of public art through
a fund of 1% of the previous year's capital expenditures.
The first commissioned public sculpture was installed
in the Lincoln Park Civic Commons area in September
2002. The aluminum structure, depicting four stylized
figures reaching skyward, was designed and fabricated
by Ohio artist Barry Gunderson. For more information
on the CitySites program call Rosewood at (937) 296-0294. |
