The Blue Sky Story

 

The Blue Sky Sculpture requires a patient and contemplative viewer. The cloud motif, the passageway, the stoneware figures, the arced shape and the fluid reflective tiles are intended to blend with the natural sky. The ever-changing sky seems to stir the mysteries and memories of our past with the beauty of today and the hope of tomorrow.

 

Blue Sky Sculpture was developed through the joint effort of artisits Phill Epp, painter and designer; Terry Corbett, ceramicist and designer; and conrad Snider, ceramicist and designer. Lloyd T. Smith, donor of the artwork, in conjunction with the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, dedicated the Blue Sky Sculpture to the life and memory of Jacqueline M. Smith. It is through her interest and support of the fine arts that the Newton community is the beneficiary. The City of Newton provided the land and infrastructure for the Blue Sky Sculpture.

 

The Blue Sky Sculpture can be found on Kansas Ave. across from Centennial Park.
