Project Overview
Wadena area artist Amber Fletschock was retained to create two permanent works of art for display in the Wadena City Library. The works are intended to reflect the relationship between the library and its community. A 5' x 5' three-dimensional diorama was created for the children's area. A sculpture of a book with favorite quotes from Wadena patrons was installed in the adult area. This first payment covered materials costs for the artist; the remaining costs took place after 30 June 2015.
