Sinister snake!

This ceramic snake sits on the hillside at Caponi Art Park. Don't get too close....

Greeeeeen

 

At first, I thought it was a bike rack. Although no artist's plaque labels the work, this colorful sculpture is interesting to see at the Eagan City Hall!

Artful RED

 

This tall, newer art sculpture has no artist's name plaque.  I wonder who the artist is and the title of the work.... 

Heads will roll....

This face sculpture was recently photographed by Missy Wallen at Caponi Art Park, situated beautifully in 60 acres of sculpture filled trails.

Newest sculpture

This is one of the newest sculptures at the Caponi Art Park. Sorry, I'm don't know the artist's name nor the title of the artwork. 

Fancy Friday

Big snake

 

Visit the Caponi Art Park to encounter this huge, ceramic snake! He's not dangerous.... 

Horsing around

 

This modern sculpture stands outside the Cole's Salon off Yankee Doodle Road. Sorry, I don't know the title or artist.... 

Between a rock and a hard place

 

An exhibit featuring sculptures and paintings by late art professor Anthony Caponi is displayed at Artworks on Pilot Knob Road until April 16. Tony taught art for many years and created the "Caponi Art Park" in Eagan. 

Artistic autumn

 

Laurie Halvorson and her brother strolled by this sculpture at Caponi Art Park. Enjoy!

Rings of flowers

 

The rings of colorful flowers encircle a beautiful sculpture in the middle at the Eagan Community Center. 

Butterfly

She hangs in the parking ramp stairway at the Eagan Outlet Mall. Fly butterfly fly! 

Metallic butterfly

This sculpture stands in front of the Eagan outlet mall parking garage. Lovely! 

decidedly different and divine

What do you think of this modern sculpture in front of the Eagan Art House? 

Hero

My friend and fellow Rotarian, Jerri Neddermeyer, posed outside Artworks in Eagan by this military sculpture titled, "Hero." Jerri works as the Director of Operations at ArtWorks and was recently selected as Eagan Foundations's 2019 Extraordinary Board member.

HERO, by former Marine Corps corporal Gene Piersa, was inspired by an image on the cover of "American Legion Magazine," May 2007.  It depicts a "Field Cross," which is a rifle with the bayonet stuck into the ground. A helmet sits on top of the rifle butt and dog tags hand down in front along with the boats of the fallen HERO.
HERO recognizes the incredible sacrifice made by our young men and women who lost their lives in all current wars and conflicts. It further acknowledges the grieving hearts of those families who must now live with this loss.
Finally, it speaks to our nation as a family about the loss of what potentially might have been: the best and brightest individuals of our future.

Currently, the "Journeys from Military Service" exhibit of art pieces created by former military persons can be viewed at Artworks in Eagan.
