Bennett Public Art Community Survey
The Town of Bennett and the Bennett Arts Council are pleased to announce a new public art project. The project is being funded through grants, the Town of Bennett, and the Bennett Arts Council.
The goal of this piece is to capture and represent the spirit of Bennett, and to be a permanent display of the life, movement, and beauty of rural Colorado. This large-scale, kinetic sculpture will celebrate a major feature of life on the plains: WIND!
After a competitive selection process, James Peterson was chosen to create and design a kinetic sculpture for installation at Town Hall.
Your feedback will help the artist finalize the development of this sculpture.
Share your thoughts by participating in our survey or join our virtual event with the artist, James Peterson.
Zoom event with James Peterson - Wednesday, September 27th from 7-8 p.m.
