In celebration of the City of Dublin’s 2010 Bicentennial, Dublin Arts Council as formed a selection committee to choose an artist to create and install an original, permanent piece of art to join Leatherlips, Out of Bounds and the other large commissioned artworks in the Dublin Art in Public Places collection.

The site-specific artwork will be installed on the Dublin Karrer Barn property, 225 S. High St. in Historic Dublin. The selection committee has chosen three finalists to develop detailed proposals for the bicentennial artwork. Information about the artists and the committee members can be found at www.dublinarts.org.

Dublin Arts Council and the City of Dublin are seeking residents’ thoughts, stories and memories about the Karrer Barn location. This information will help the finalist gain a better understanding of the selected site.

Please let us know your thoughts by posting a comment between Dec. 4 and Dec. 18. Your comments, which will be considered public record, will be supplied to the artists and the selection committee.

Thank you for your contribution.
