CARY UNVEILS HEMLOCK BLUFFS PUBLIC ART PROJECT
CARY, NC – Join the Town of Cary tomorrow in dedicating a work of art that serves as a signature entryway for Stevens Nature Center and Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve; the ceremony begins at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, November 10 at the Preserve, 2616 Kildaire Farm Road. The new gate design, created by regional metalwork artist Lucas House, reflects the bluffs with large metal hemlock leaves that adorn a branch-like frame. During the ceremony, the gate will be officially lowered—with counter weight movements—giving an alternative view of the artwork. In the event of rain, the ceremony will be held at the shelter inside the Preserve.
“The entry gate not only creates a unique identity for the Preserve, but it also serves as another important example of the focus on public art in our town,” said Joy Ennis, Festivals Coordinator. “It was a unique opportunity to address both goals.”
The total cost of the gate was $20,000 and included funds contributed by the Friends of Hemlock Bluffs, a conservation and support organization. The project was undertaken as part of the Kildaire Farm Road widening project, which including the entrance to the Preserve.
