REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
Bear Sculpture Location Determined
Council agreed to accept Stewart Steinhauer’s offer to loan his Four Directions Bear Family sculpture to the District of Peachland for display near Beach Avenue for a term of two years. Council received the initial proposal at its meeting September 18 and, since then, staff met in person with the artist and support team to view the sculpture and analyze potential locations for display. The sculpture is made of granite, is approximately 12 ft x 6 ft x 5 ft in size, and weighs approximately 16,000 lbs, which means it will need a crane to lift the sculpture into place. The best location was determined to be the grassed area on the lakeside of Beach Avenue near 2nd Street and north of Cenotaph Park. The sculpture at this location will add cultural vibrancy and attract visitors to downtown Peachland. The District anticipates the cost of installation to be $1,000.
