Public art loan program aims to beautify Saratoga
"Bring joy, bring color, bring life, bring conversation."
"We want to give people something to talk about and something to look at,"
"In Sheridan, you can see public art everywhere, but in Saratoga, we lack the public art appearance, so I really want to bring public art,"
"uniquely Saratoga."
Three new sculptures were installed throughout Saratoga by the city’s Library and Public Art Commission as part of the Gateway Sculpture project budgeted for fiscal year 2025-26. The program will display sculptures at prominent city entry points for one year and solicit resident feedback. Commissioners described the installations as adding color, life, joy and conversation and as community conversation starters. The subcommittee favored renting pieces to allow removal if needed and to avoid high installation costs. The first installation, "Lollypop Fiesta" by Adrian Susnea Litman, was placed near the Saratoga Library on Nov. 14 and features stainless steel, colored glass panes and wind-moving steel petals. A ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 24 included the mayor and councilmembers.
