The Leesburg Public Arts Commission has officially installed five new sculptures at the city's ArtsPARKs location. These works are currently on display for the public to view along Harrison Street.
Why it matters
This program aims to transform the stream-side park into a dedicated outdoor sculpture gallery. By collaborating with local artists and businesses, the city seeks to increase public access to fine art.
The new installation features five unique sculptures that will remain on display at 345 Harrison St. for a two-year term. Artists submitted their designs to the commission for selection before being approved for the space.
