I proposed this bench for the Arts Alliance parking area because as an active member of this <br />group, I am aware of the need for an outdoor seating area which is towards the front of the <br />building but off the sidewalk. 'This would provide a waiting and gathering opportunity for <br />people as well as a visual focus indicator of the activities within the building. <br />I applied for the Central Minnesota Arts Board public art planning grant with the help of my <br />partner Gene Olson who is a metal sculptor and we received funding to plan this bench. <br />The Plaisted company has agreed to deliver and place at the site, two large boulders well <br />suited for seating. This grant will cover that cost; and once this is accomplished, we will be <br />able to plan the fabricated metal components. These plans will be presented to the city and if <br />approved then another application for grant funding will be made. <br />
