On
Monday evening, Lincoln aldermen were shown
a model of a new sculpture local artists
Jason Hoffman and Moses Pinkerton
would like to build for the city. The piece
would be placed at the corner of Pekin
Street and North Kickapoo as an accent to
what will someday be a remodeled public
parking lot for the city and Lincoln Public
Library. Aldermen had mixed emotions about
the artwork and also concerns about the
artists' request for $2,200 for construction
materials. Some felt that especially
at the chosen location, the modern sculpture
would enhance the tourist experience during
the annual Art in the Park Festival.

Steve Parrott said he
felt the modern art was contradictory to the
nostalgic feel of the city as it works to identify
itself with the iconic Route 66. Jonie Tibbs also
did not find the artwork pleasing. Having just
before this heard from Boy Scout Caleb Meader about
a monument he wishes to build at the Lincoln Depot,
Tibbs commented she'd rather give the $2,200 to the
scout. The city council will vote on whether or not
to approve the sculpture possibly as soon as this
coming Monday evening.
