DATE: Monday, April 26th, 2021
TIME: 11:00 AM
PLACE: Green-space located on the corner of Webster Avenue and Harvey Street behind the Green Bay Metro Station and the Green Bay City Fire Station 2.
The piece titled “A Convenient Inconvenience”, was funded using Community Development Block Grant dollars from the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Green Bay. The 12-foot-tall stainless steel sculpture depicts several stages of a dandelion’s development and is the newest addition to the green-space which houses several other pieces of public art. The original unveiling was scheduled to take place on Thursday, February 4th, 2021 but was canceled due to weather.
