I've always enjoyed the wonderful public art that can be found in many cities. Scottsdale is a wonderful example of a town that offers art incorporated into the cityscape.
I've noticed a few touches of public art throughout the Queen Creek area. ( and no those huge utility poles all around town are not art, just ugly. )
I found this metal Pecan tree sculpture at the Queen Creek Marketplace behind the new Paradise Bakery.
It feels that we have a quaint agricultural theme going on here which is verified by the plaque on the trunk of the sculpture. the plaque discusses the agricultural roots of Queen Creek and how citrus, cotton and pecan groves sustained the native community and early homesteaders in the area.
I will be on the lookout for more public art. If you know of a nice spot in our area with public art, please leave a note in the comments.
