The city of Wheat Ridge has selected a design for a 17-foot sculpture by Kevin Robb to anchor the west side of a new park at West 38th Avenue and Kipling Street.
About $30,000 is still needed to complete the stainless steel sculpture.
The total cost is about $50,000, but Mayor Jerry DiTullio said $10,265 in private donations has been raised, and Samuel, Son & Co. Inc., a local stainless-steel supplier, made an in-kind donation of steel valued at $10,000.
Citizens interested in making a tax-deductible donation to the mayor’s art initiative can do so by writing a check payable to the Wheat Ridge Foundation. It’s asked that “Public Art Campaign” be noted on the check. Donations may be mailed to Wheat Ridge Foundation, Attn: Mayor’s Office, 7500 W. 29th Ave., Wheat Ridge CO 80033. The Denver Post
