New public art will soon be in full bloom on St. Patrick’s Island.
To mark the reopening of the park this summer, the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation has commissioned a public art installation by Canadian artist Michel De Broin.
It’s titled ‘Bloom’ a sculpture of streetlights assembled to represent a towering flower.
“It will be a good meeting point since you can see it from very far away,” De Broin said. “The crown is clear.”
The piece will reach roughly 23 metres tall.
The area will include running and biking trails, a plaza and amphitheatre, play areas, an elevated rise and restored river channels along the 31 acres.
The budget for the installation is $500,000.
