The Alpharetta Recreation, Parks, Cultural Services department partners each year with Arts Alpharetta to develop outdoor art exhibits throughout the city. Their third installation, Medley, is a collection of five temporary outdoor sculptures selected to engage viewers through sight, sound, and/or touch. Year one was called Miscellany and year two Ominum Gatheum.

This year’s sculptures to be installed this fall and removed in fall of 2024 include:

· Ribbon Arch by Jim Gallucci at Wills Park between event lawn and fields 7 & 8

· Tree by Gus and Lina Ocamposilva at Thompson Street Park

· Liquid Sunshine by Michael Alfano at Brooke Street Park along Academy Street (near The Laborer sculpture)

· Allura by Nathan Pierce at Brooke Street Park near the corner of Haynes Bridge Road and Academy Street

· Hill Climb by Jim Collins at Brooke Street Park between the bandstand and Haynes Bridge Road

Each sculpture is being rented for two years for $6,000 per sculpture for a total of $30,000. The Cultural Arts Commission reviewed the recommendations from Arts Alpharetta and the City Council recently approved the selections since they fall within the $46,000 allocated for the FY2023 outdoor sculpture exhibit program.
