BENNETT PUBLIC ARTWORK: 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.

After a competitive selection process, James Peterson was chosen to create and design
a kinetic sculpture for installation at Town Hall.

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!

Your feedback will help the artist finalize the development of this sculpture. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas!
