Public Art @ the Libraries

Beacon by Greg Reiche, 2015

Beacon, by artist Greg Reiche, is a large sculpture made of Texas Cream Limestone, stainless steel, and iridized glass. The sculpture was installed at the Central & Unser Library on August 4, 2015.

Beacon’s title refers to both the sculpture and the library. Libraries are portals of human imagination, creativity, and intellect. Beacon’s placement, scale, and unique qualities of light and motion reinforce the library’s unique nature and importance within the community. Like the library, it is an anchor both aesthetically and metaphorically. It is a base upon which the playful dance of color and light sparks our imagination and feeds our creativity.

Divinely Connected, Wendy Boomhower, 2023

"We all share this beautiful world and are Divinely Connected.

Our diversity is what makes this world so wonderful & interesting and that is something really work celebrating!!! Yet we have so much in common too ... we are all interconnected, with common needs like food, air, families, a sense of being and each of us are on a journey to have a great connection with our supreme Creator.

Look closer at each corner and you will find a symbol which combines a silhouette of a human hand with that of a bird. It is the Human Rights symbol and it reminds us to peacefully protect, respect, understand, and be considerate of one another.

Let this piece of art be a beautiful reminder of our Divine Connection."
