Public Art Intersections Installation Completed

Sarasota, FL: The twelfth and final piece of the ‘Intersections’ public art project will be installed Friday, December 17, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. at Selby Five Points Park. Eleven other pieces are now strategically placed at prominent locations throughout the downtown to encourage people to visit downtown as a destination and take a walking tour of the art pieces included in “Intersections”. The Public Art Committee is collaborating with the Sarasota County Arts Council and the Sarasota Convention and Visitors Bureau to market “Intersections” as another interesting attraction in downtown Sarasota.

Twelve artists were selected by the Public Art Committee to display their work at high profile locations throughout downtown. The installations began in October and the pieces will be on display until November 2011. At that time, the City Commission with input from the Public Art Committee and the community, will choose one sculpture to become part of the City’s permanent art collection.
