Public Art Dedication: One With The Bee by Dixie Friend Gay North Z Boaz Park 3200 Lackland Road, Fort Worth, Texas 76116 Saturday April 1st 10:00 a.m. Celebrate Dixie Friend Gay’s One With the Bee at North Z Boaz Park Saturday, April 1, beginning at 10:00 a.m. The public art dedication event will take place in conjunction with the ribbon cutting for the improvements to the northeast area of the park. Parking can be found by the new north entrance off Calmont Avenue. Designed by artist Dixie Friend Gay, the artwork takes the form of a 20 feet tall “flower” fabricated in mild steel. From a 30-inch diameter base it flares to a 10-foot diameter at the top. An opening on one side of the sculpture allows the viewer to see into the center of the flower, which is crafted in stainless steel. The scale invites the visitor to experience the work much as an insect would an actual flower. The artwork references the importance of a healthy bee habitat and the bee’s critical role in pollination. This event is free and open to the public. https://fwpublicart.org/one-with-the-bee/
