Yes, it derived from a public art fee for developers. They can either supply their own public art, which I believe has to be approved by the Public Arts Committee, or they can pay an "in-lieu of" fee to Public Arts Fund.
Beautiful sculpture, Even though I am an artist it's hard to see how Sebastopol can pay $25,000 when it has such a fiscal crisis. The Community Center is being squeezed and the Climate Action Committee is on the chopping block and there is the ongoing homeless problem, is this the best way to spend money? Getting the homeless off the streets would do more for development than the sculpture.
i believe this money is designated for art so it does not deplete other needs

Nice looking sculpture but even when its location is well described, I have no real idea where it is.
Across the street from the Healdsburg Avenue entrance to the Hopmonk parking lot.
