OCALA, Fla. (Oct. 15. 2020) – The City of Ocala, through its Cultural Arts and Sciences and Parks Divisions, announces the installation of new sculptural seating at Tuscawilla Art Park, 223 NE Fifth St., on Friday, Oct. 16.
“The newly installed structural seating’s design contributes to the aesthetic and functionality, while communicating the purpose of the art park as a creative space for visual and performing arts,” said Jennifer Normoyle, Grants and Outreach Manager, City of Ocala.
The customized sculptural seating will provide an integrated look for the Art Park and replaces the temporary seating installed during the construction of the park three years ago. The new seating will complement the existing shade structure and complete the overall look of an artist’s palette from an aerial view.
