Study proposes three pieces of prairie grass-themed art in Urbana

URBANA – A consultant's report about how to beautify Cunningham Avenue recommends adding three significant pieces of public art costing up to $1.2 million.

The report by Claire Bennett Associates of Indianapolis recommends adding a massive steel sculpture depicting prairie grass on Cunningham that would be amber-colored and arch up over both sides of Interstate 74. Estimated cost: $500,000 to $650,000.
