Town and Country Looking For Artists, Donations

Town and Country's Public Art Commission is looking for local artists and donations from businesses and residents to bring more art to the city.

Town and Country Councilwoman Lynn Wright told Town and Country-Patch that the commission is seeking donations from those who would like to help bring the first Town and County sculpture to the city through the art commission.

Although this first sculpture will likely sit near the fire station at Mason and Clayton roads, Wright said she hopes more art will follow.

"This isn't just that we want it for this location. We want art for different places," Wright said. "Just look at Chesterfield. It's amazing what they've done."

In addition to donations, Wright said, the commission is looking for artists who can present a rendering of what they think they can create.

The art commission is also looking for anyone willing to donate a sculpture.

"We're trying to bring in pieces of art to the community to help describe the community," Wright said of the mission. "There are so many neat locations that we feel people can enjoy the art."
