Art in Kelowna, should the City buy it? Or?

Should the City of Kelowna buy this sculpture with their allotted Public Arts funds?

Yes, whomever is in charge of acquistions in the City of Kelowna needs to make an offer.

OH NO! The new mall owners don't realize what a treasure they have and should find a way to incorporate it into their plans

Can't be just a roof. Needs to be an actual building protecting it and probably keep it at a certain temperature and humidity level.

So now we're building a pavilion in the park just for a statue that we had to buy.

And it's not even that beautiful. Looks very generic and kitschy.

Problem solved! We already have plans ongoing to build a very expensive tourism "pavillion" in the park that would be a great place for the carving....

Lol - beat me to it - the new Tourism Kelowna building would be a perfect place for an installation such as this.
