The Public Art Fund was formed to direct revenue from cell phone antennae leases on
City property into something that is more aesthetically pleasing for residents and visitors.
Joe O'Connell founded his studio, Creative Machines, in 1995 to design and fabricate
interactive exhibits. In 2004, he began making public art with a strong basis in community
and interactivity. His work is rooted in science, perception and history and can be enjoyed
in museums, science centers, libraries, hospitals, university campuses, transit stops, trade
shows, and public spaces across the globe.
City of Stars is composed of finished stainless steel with intricate laser cut patterns. The
forms will be welded and bolted together. Overall dimensions are: panels with stars -
approximately 13'L x 4'W x 7'4"H; freestanding star-approximately 5'L x 1'6"W x 4'H. The
sculpture will also feature color changing LED lighting including custom point source lights.
The scope of work includes the design, fabrication and installation of the public art. Please
see the attached illustration for placement of the public art at The Rec of Grapevine.
Public Art Committee recommends approval.
