Public Art Project planned for Historic Clive Corner

Congratulations to artist Marc Moulton (represented by Moberg Gallery) who was selected to commission the city’s second public art piece. A twelve-member artist selection panel initially reviewed qualifications from thirteen artists, and narrowed the selection down to three. Those three artists then designed proposals and presented them to the panel on August 26, 2009, and Marc’s proposal, Prairie Engine, was unanimously selected. While the proposal will be refined in the weeks to come, a preliminary rendering of Prairie Engine is illustrated here. The public work of art will be placed at the soon-to-be redeveloped plaza at NW 86th Street and University Boulevard, in conjunction with the Phase 2 streetscape improvements on NW 86th Street.  Installation is scheduled for July-August 2010.
