The Town of Palisade Board of Trustees unanimously approved the acquisition of the sculpture entitled Harley by Lyle Nichols for placement in the new Town plaza. Now fund rasing begns!

“Public art brings a sense of civic pride,” says Jane Wood, of The Blue Pig Gallery. “This sculpture can be the crowning glory for the beautification process at the town center.”

The eye-catching sculpture of a fish made from Harley Davidson mufflers will be purchased through donations made to the Town of Palisade. “Donations have already been coming readily. People not only love the sculpture, but want to be a part of the project and want to bringing attention to this town we love by celebrating one of its sons,” Wood said.

The Town Board committed $1,000.00 towards the project. Mayor Walker complimented Ms. Wood and expressed his delight in Palisade’s burgeoning art community’s initiative, stating, “We are pleased that art will be a component of the Town Center and encourage donations to this important project”.

Lyle Nichols is a long time Palisade resident whose family has been living in and around Palisade for three generations. Nichols’ work is on display throughout the town at Plum Creek Winery and Palisades National Bank. The sculpture can be seen at The Blue Pig Gallery. “Harley,” is proposed to be placed in the water feature in the new Town plaza next at the corner of Third Street and Main Street.
