● Feedback from community
○ Shared some of the comments we’ve been hearing
○ Horse is hard to see from road
● Does the “Call for Artists” require that the sculpture is created in advance of
applying?
○ The application does not require that the piece is complete in advance of
applying. Is this something that has to be added or is it ok to leave it as
written?
○ Consensus is that we leave it as written
● Greg has talked to Dean at Innovative Foam about possibility of creating paintable
“community theme” pieces, if that is something we want to pursue at some point.

pond. Haven’t heard anything else.
