The place of art in making public
spaces more inviting cannot be overrated. I am so grateful to the program, River
City Sculptures on Parade, for the year-long exhibit of sculptures enjoyed by
the Mason City community. This year there are 49 sculptures within a 1.7
walking loop in and around the downtown. Some of the sculptures are permanent,
owned by the city, while others are owned by the artists and loaned to the
exhibit for one year. Each year, one of the new sculptures is chosen by the
public for the city’s permanent collection.
This one – “Elation” – has been one
of my favorites this year and has taken on special meaning during this
politically turbulent time.
Thank you, artist Adam Schultz from
Laporte, CO, for reminding us to keep in touch with those lighter, brighter
moments.
