To create a new original, and independent art piece. To build upon the art themes that already exist in downtown Chisholm while maintaining and enhancing the mining/industrial historic character of the area. To lead a community driven art process to create a signature art piece at O'Neil Park. Document the sculpture through photography and design drawings. Record the number of participants at community design events and sculpture dedication/opening. Document the process of selecting the final design to show that sufficient effort was made to consider historic character of the area and expand on art themes that already exist in the community.
The sculpture was designed, built, and installed in the Kiwanis-O'Neil Park in Chisholm. An unveiling ceremony was held at the completion, as well as a public participation session at the outset to help engage with the design. The objectives of the project were met.
