‘Rainbow Sunset’ coming to Columbia garage
A parking garage in Columbia is being accented by artwork this week as part of Howard Hughes Corp.’s public arts project.
The project, “Rainbow Sunset,” will feature a variety of colors and translucent polycarbonate material.
Artist Vicki Scuri will install the project on the north and west sides of the parking garage, on the corner of Broken Land Parkway and Little Patuxent Parkway.
The project is the latest artwork to come to downtown. Such projects were outlined in the Downtown Columbia Plan adopted by the Howard County Council in 2010.
“Petal Play,” a series of interactive flower sculptures outside the Metropolitan apartments, was the first art project, unveiled in 2015 by artist Mary Ann Mears. Nearby, additional multifamily housing, known as m.flats and TEN.M, is slated to have sculptures by artist Rodney Carroll.
Scuri, Mears and Carroll will join William Cochran of Cochran Studio at the Howard County Art Center Sept. 6 to discuss Columbia’s past, present and future art and selections from the Rouse Co./Howard Hughes Corp. Arts Collection exhibit.
The exhibit will be on display at the arts center galleries Sept. 1 through Oct. 13.
