What a cool looking bench! When I first looked at it I thought it was simply a piece of colorful public art. Then to read the article about its creation and use around the city made it even more special. What a good project for Artists Working in Education. It brings together children and adults to work together and talk together on an interesting and creative art piece.
It’s a good thing that Scott Walker is no longer County Executive or he would have banned this like he did “The Blue Shirt”.
It’s a wonderful piece.
I was one of the collaborators in manufacturing the components for this project back in 2011. Upon completion I can say that I was very impressed with the result. The updated colors really add to the attractiveness of the piece. Also, as a UWM alumni, I am happy it has found a permanent home in Milwaukee.
