Our goal for this project is to add beauty and art to Madison. Originally, we were not looking for a sculpture but happened to stumble across this perfect piece. We feel that coming across "The Sound Of Color" is a sign and is meant to be-- not only for our arts council but for all of our community to benefit from. The Western Guard newspaper also plans to showcase the new public art as their editor is Madison Arts Council member who believes in promoting the arts to its weekly readers. We don't expect everyone to love the sculpture especially initially, but we hope they take notice of this public art and be one step closer to appreciating and accepting of the arts. We plan to evaluate the success of this project by listening to our community members. We plan to use Madison Arts Council's Facebook page to showcase "The Sound of Color" to the public once it is installed at the Grand Park. We hope the post generates hundreds of "likes" and numerous comments in regards to this art sculpture finding its home in Madison. Thru this route, we also hope to acquire feedback on what the community may want to see next or more of in Madison! We plan on having an anonymous survey on our Facebook page in regards to "The Sound of Color" sculpture and to see what the community would like to see more of in Madison down the road.
