DOWNTOWN LANDMARK SCULPTURE TO RETURN

DEMOLITION IS EXPECTED TO START SOON ON THE FORMER CITY TRANSIT TRANSFER BUILDING AT 3RD AND PIERCE STREETS.

ART CENTER DIRECTOR AL HARRIS-FERNANDEZ SAYS THAT WILL ALLOW THE SIOUX CITY ART CENTER TO EXPAND AND ALSO RE-INSTALL A FAMOUS LANDMARK SCULPTURE THAT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE:



A LEARNING CENTER WILL BE BUILT BETWEEN THE SCULPTURE AND THE CURRENT ART CENTER IN 2014. THE GIANT YELLOW SCULPTURE BY JOHN HENRY WAS WELL KNOWN FOR YEARS IN THE DOWNTOWN BY A SPECIAL NAME:



THE SCULPTURE WILL BE THE FIRST OF SEVERAL OUTDOOR WORKS TO BE INSTALLED ON THE ART CENTER CAMPUS.

THE PLAN WILL BE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL ON MONDAY WITH DEMOLITION OF THE OLD TRANSIT BUILDING SET TO START WITHIN A MONTH.
