The City of Grand Junction has installed new artwork by artist Alex Bond in the roundabout at the intersection of 24 ½ Road and Four Canyons Parkway. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new artwork will be held on Tuesday, October 21 at 4 p.m. on the east side of the roundabout. Parking will be available along Hannah Lane.
In the proposal submitted to the Commission on Arts and Culture, Bond wrote, “The sculpture, titled “Superbloom,” is a large, colorful, and whimsical installation featuring a floral-inspired design meant to evoke a sense of awe and a strong connection to place for both residents and visitors.”
Funding for this project comes from the City’s 1% for the Arts Program. This program expands opportunities for residents and visitors to experience high quality art by facilitating the acquisition and display of art in public places by budgeting 1% for public art from certain city capital improvement projects.
Artist selection was completed by the Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture after review of numerous submitted proposals from artists.
