Right in our own back yard
A few months ago, I spent some time rediscovering the Walker Art Center’s Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis. I have always admired the natural galleries of the garden and the quality of the artwork included in that collection.
On this trip, I was particularly interested to revisit Brower Hatcher’s piece, Prophesy of the Ancients, since I have recently become acquainted with his installations much closer to home: Wellspring and Oculus, at Bayliss Park in Council Bluffs.
These world-class installations are part of the Iowa West Public Art (IWPA) program which, through the vision of the Iowa West Foundation, commissions internationally-known artists to create sculptures specifically intended to enhance the city of Council Bluffs.
Emspace Group recently launched a comprehensive new Web site for IWPA, which is a great way to learn more about this initiative. The site features information on all five of the artists currently associated with IWPA, information on future plans, a map of locations and links to a free audio tour, podcasts and videos.
It’s all very exciting and just a few minutes from home. We hope you’ll take some time to check it out.
