Remember that proposed public art project for White Rock Lake? An artist has been chosen for the project, and there will be a public meeting/meet and greet this coming Monday, February 6 at 6 p.m. at the Bath House Culture Center to discuss the proposal. The artist is Brower Hatcher, a public art veteran, who heads up Mid-Ocean Studio. To get a sense of what Hatcher might bring to White Rock, you can check out some of his other projects here.

Here’s the release:
