Updates on Sound + Movement Art Concepts! (as of 3.3.23)
We are excited to get moving on two concepts for the Park with the help of the community through donations on this page, grants, sponsorship and fundraising events participation! ๐ซถ
๐ฆ Owl Concept by Matt Roberson:
Originally the idea of a ship, became a climbable interactive Owl that will add whimsy, color and so much fun for all visitors! Standing at 13' tall, and will have a wheel at the top that rotates to make bell sounds. ๐ Coming March 2023
*Are you a business that would like an opportunity to have a presence on this art piece? Learn more here.
๐น Piano Waterfall Concept by Amidonian:
This music inspired waterfall will add tranquil and beautiful movement to the Park. With the help of Midwest Water Place, Paul Rockwell and the Hayes Wrestling team (to move the piano!) this art piece will be coming to the Park Spring 2023.
We could still use help to cover our costs and match our Ohio Arts Council grant of $14,074! Every $ counts, thank you for considering a donation to your Arts Park!

The Imagination Space is an area of the Park created to encourage exploring, creativity and Imagination! The space has started to be filled with quirky, interactive and colorful art including our climbable Unicorn and our A-Mazing path. Phase 1 is almost complete and with it's transformation, the Park is encouraged to fundraise for our next phase!ย
The next phase of the Imagination Space, called the Immersive Sound Project, will awaken the imagination as we add kinetic sound art for an immersive experience. Visitors will be transported to an imaginary world of color, whimsical movement, interactive experiences, and beautiful sounds that only the combination of art and nature can create.
There are pieces currently in concept phase for the Immersive Sound Project. Including:ย
๐An interactive kinetic sculpture that is 12โ tall will engage patrons with a wheel that carries billiard balls to the top of a center mast, then run down a circular track, triggering hammers that will strike pentatonic scale chimes as they pass.ย
๐ A metal sound sculpture that would have a series of bells tuned to a musical scale. Wind will have the bells make a tingling sound as wind passes, while patrons can also interact with the sculpture to play songs or melodies.ย
๐ถ Benches made of musical instruments will be placed around a piano water feature. The instruments will be touchable and interactive.
And there is more sound art to be imagined! We are hoping to get started on this phase of the Imagination Space soon. Every $ helps us earn our $14,074 matching grant from the Ohio Arts Council! Thank you!
