He announced that Ralph Lampkin who is a Citizen Member was planning on getting us <br />up to date on the sculpture initiative but he sent him a message that he is under the weather and <br />could not make it. He asked Aaron Perri to give what information he could at this time. <br />South Bend Sculpture Initiative <br />Aaron Perri, Executive Director of Parks and Recreation with offices at 321 East Walter Street, <br />stated that he is aware of a group of residents that have undertaken a private initiative to raise <br />funds to put sculptures up in the parks. They have secured funding for at least five (5) sculptures. <br />Four (4) of those would go in Howard Park and the other one (1) in a pocket part in the Triangle <br />Neighborhood. That private group pulled together all the funding and put out a call for artists to <br />produce these sculptures. Installation will happen over the next weeks and we will hopefully <br />have a celebration of public art in our parks. We are really proud of Mr. Lampkin and former <br />Councilmember Dr. Ferlic for taking leadership on this. <br />Committee Chair Kelly thanked Mr. Perri for providing that update. He stated there will be a <br />ribbon cutting of sorts when these sculptures are unveiled. A date has not been decided as of yet. <br />455 County -City Building • 227 W.
