Four new sculptures have been installed at Carmichael Park (650 E. Southern Street) for the Sculpture on Loan project of the City of Brighton’s Eye for Art program. The sculptures on display are Emma and Circle of Life, both by Bill Bunting, Helix Moon by Reven Swanson, and Dancing in the Reeds by Gene Goff. As part of the program, the pieces of artwork will be on display at the park for one year for the public to enjoy.

The Sculpture on Loan project began with the placement of two pieces acquired in 2015 through the Eye for Art Program. Sculptures are selected by the Eye for Art committee. Artists receive a $500 honorarium at placement. To date, the program has placed 12 sculptures throughout the city thanks to grants from the Scientific Cultural Facilities Districts and the City of Brighton.
Thank you to the volunteers and city departments that have contributed to this program: Brighton Parks and Recreation department, the Eye for Art selection committee, the Brighton Public Art Committee, the Brighton Cultural Arts Commission and the Office of Arts and Culture.
