This week, Marion community leaders will celebrate the soon-to-be-installed art sculpture in the Central Plaza at City Square Park (1001 7th Avenue, Marion). A dedication will take place on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. in the northeast corner of the park.
“Echoes of Marion” was designed and fabricated by Gavin and Kelley Brodin of Formed For based in Los Angeles, CA, with input from the project’s art committee.
The sculpture was sponsored by the Marion Chamber of Commerce through the Central Plaza capital campaign.
About the Sculpture
“Echoes of Marion” mirrors the native flora around it, inviting viewers to see themselves woven into the natural world. It serves as a tribute to the community’s past, present and future – shaped by its history, inspired by its present and guided by a vision for tomorrow. The sculpture celebrates the enduring strength and beauty of both the people and the prairie that define Marion.
