ROSWELL, Ga. — The Roswell City Council last week hired an artist who will bring a creative streak to the city’s new fire station.
Council members authorized the mayor and/or city administrator to sign a contract with Seattle-based artist Peter Reiquam to create public art at the new Fire Station No. 4in an amount not to exceed $76,000. Reiquam will create the “Bucket Brigade” sculpture that will sit on the lawn at the station, which will open Old Alabama Road and Market Boulevard near the Publix shopping center.
A request for qualifications was issued for the project, and 53 responses were received by the city. Roswell’s Public Art Selection Panel met Sept. 2 and chose three finalists who gave oral presentations in early November.
