We added some landscaping around our new piece of public art and I wanted to share a recent photo of the work with the landscaping. It looks even better.
Soul Survivor
The sculpture is called “Soul Survivor” and it is a work by Louisiana artist Russell Whiting. the piece was installed in March. It had been part of the Gulf Coast Museum collection, which was aquired by St. Petersburg College when that museum closed its doors.
Over the past year, the landscape experts from St. Petersburg College have been transforming the Palladium grounds, adding more up-to-date and Florida friendly plantings and replacing dead sod. The west side of the building, where “Soul Survivor” now lives, is looking much better.
We’ll be dedicating the new sculpture and showing off the landscaping later this year – probably after the heat of the summer. We will be bringing in the artist for the dedication. Stay tuned for a date and time.
