Grant awarded for sculpture

Wellington Parks Special Development group with the support of the Sumner County Economic Development Commission (SCEDC) and the Wellington Community Foundation are excited to announce that the Heritage Plaza metal sculpture design has been selected for an Innovative Partnerships/Re-Imagined Spaces grant from the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission (KCAIC) which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), a federal agency. Located in the former Antler’s Hotel lot at 7th and Washington Ave, the sculpture will provide a focal point for the new park emphasizing Wellington’s history and supporting downtown beautification efforts.
