KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Kalamazoo County commissioners are planning to negotiate a contract with a local artist to begin work on a massive art project that will cover most of their new parking structure downtown.
They are expected to take action Tuesday night.
As we first reported last month, a subcommittee has selected Patrick Hershberger for the commission.
The panels will depict sketches of several local leaders, local flora and fauna and other local scenes.
Hershberger says he will be painting a couple of the panels, but mostly he will be designing what 31 of the larger ones will look like.
Even though they haven’t broken ground yet on the project, Kalamazoo County Administrator Kevin Catlin has advised commissioners that they need to get the art project underway this month if they hope to have the huge panels ready in time.
