: Eight Bells; The 15-foot tall sculptures are topped with multi-sided bell-shaped bronze lanterns. At night, light from energy-efficient LED’s emanates from the perforations in the bronze panels creating a bright and artful welcome to Vail Village. Each of the panels has a unique design and patina that represents the artist’s impression of Vail’s winter and summer environments.

: Endless Possibilities; Located along Bald Mountain Road at North Frontage Road East

: Granite Landscape; A series of granite benches and monolith sculptures arranged as plaza in Ford Park. The three free-standing sculptures are titled “Strata,” “The Fang” and “Gore Creek.” “Strata” is the tallest sculptural element, standing at nine feet tall, and represents the valley’s geological rock formations in its roughly hewn, horizontally patterned texture. “The Fang,” an East Vail winter ice climbing attraction and a popular summer waterfall, is represented with a highly polished arc that contrasts with the sculpture’s natural rocky texture on the opposite side. Finally, an interactive wedgeshaped bench portraying a fish is symbolic of Gore Creek, to which “Granite Landscape” is now adjacent. by Molly Eppard – Art in Public Places coordinator, town of Vail
