architectural space. “Where Energy Flows” will inspire its viewers and heighten <br />their appreciation for fine art in and out of the community. <br /> <br />Community Engagement <br />We envision an engaging process for members of the Beautification and Public <br />Art Committee and other residents to assist in the exploration of the natural <br />areas that will become the inspiration for the composition of Carey Dean’s <br />mosaic. Those intertwined in the community will know firsthand where the <br />ultimate beauty lies in Elk River. The collaborative approach fosters a sense of <br />ownership and pride in the artwork. Residents will not only be viewers but <br />guiding members, leaving their mark on a permanent symbol of their <br />community’s vibrant energy. <br /> <br />Connection to Mission and Goals <br />This project is guided by the Elk River Public Art Plan which addresses the <br />current arts scene, public art policies, guidance for public art, and initiatives to <br />further public art in the City. As a result, the Elk River Economic Development <br />Authority has dedicated funds to improving and maintaining public art in the city <br />and is committed to contributing a significant portion of the funds needed to <br />complete this project. “Where Energy Flows” will satisfy the four goals set forth <br />but the Elk River Public Art Plan: Public art should represent the community and <br />help create a sense of place, public art should be leveraged for positive economic <br />benefit and development, engage the community in the process of public art, and <br />support public artists. <br /> <br />5.
