KYLE — Steeplechase Park’s flower fields will be a little brighter and bigger with a new art sculpture approved by Kyle City Council at its May 6 meeting.
According to agenda documents, the Arts and Cultural Board is working toward launching the city’s Public Arts program. To begin this, a request for proposal (RFP) was issued for art, which was evaluated by a task force, where two out of five artists were chosen to be presented to council: Jessica Bell and Dana Perrotti.
The goal of the project is “to create unique, one-of-a-kind, large scale pieces of artwork, such as a sculpture or a monument,” said director of administrative services Rosie Truelove. “We asked for the style to be contemporary and visually striking and that, if moving parts are to be included, that they utilize a natural energy source, such as wind or solar power.”
