Jackson Run Park, known for its nature-themed design, is an integral part of the local community’s recreational and aesthetic landscape. The park is thoughtfully designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment, featuring elements that
reflect its commitment to celebrating and preserving local flora and fauna.
As part of the Boone County 180 in Color public art program, the project will introduce a custom designed shade structure that not only provides practical benefits but also contributes to the park’s thematic coherence. This artistic shade structure will be crafted to complement the park’s nature-inspired elements, incorporating natural forms, patterns, and colors that resonate with the existing design. The goal is to create a functional yet visually captivating addition that enhances the park’s overall atmosphere and user experience.
The budget for this project includes comprehensive artist fees, which cover all necessary aspects of the artwork creation and installation process. This includes not only the artists’ compensation but also all required materials and supplies for the artwork. By providing these resources, the project ensures that the artists have everything needed to produce high-quality, impactful artwork.
