Public Art brings together residents, business and creativity
Spiral Stela is the newest work being commissioned by the City of Burlington Public Art program. Created by Canadian artist Peter Powning the work brings together objects from local residents to create "cultural mulch" which are cast in bronze and wrapped around the obelisk form of the sculpture. Funded in part through a generous donation by resident and business owner Dan Lawrie the work will stand at the corner of Locust and Elgin Street in Burlington in front of the Burlington Performing Arts Centre. The sculpture is scheduled to be installed in the summer of 2013.
