During a recent government meeting, city officials discussed the progress of a proposed sculpture program, a topic that has garnered interest from several council members, particularly Councilmember Kellam. The initiative aims to enhance the community's cultural landscape by inviting sculpture submissions from artists worldwide, regardless of their experience level.
The program is modeled after a successful sculpture exhibition in Lakeland, which has been operational for several years and has attracted a diverse range of submissions. While acknowledging that the city may not replicate Lakeland's success entirely, the council remains optimistic about the potential impact of the program on local art and community engagement.
Councilmember Kellam, who has been a long-time advocate for the initiative, expressed her enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing its importance in fostering artistic expression within the community. The meeting highlighted the ongoing commitment of city officials to bring this vision to fruition, with plans for further discussions and developments in the coming months.
