The acquisition for at least 6 Bob Cage sculptures for the green space between route 58 and the bridge into South Boston. This would not only be visually attractive but would provide a unique invitation to the town, one unlike any other town or city in the sate. It would also acknowledge one of South Boston's must illustrious sons as well as the town's status as home to a thriving community of artists.
Bob Cage's sculpture farm has already been listed in such guides as Roadside America as a special attraction...why not make the most of this?

We need to purchase at least 12 for this purpose and we must keep the ones at the Prizery and Library. Get corporate sponsors to buy and name them.
Moved to Halifax a year ago. Stumbled randomly on the Cage sculptures. What a gem. Would be wonderful if some of his work was saved for the public.
Perfect idea. …..But out these sculptures on high pedestals to avoid the flood waters.
I lived in one of the cabins on that farm during 2010-2013. It was a magnificent sight to wake up and look out across the field and see the artwork. It would be a shame to have it degrade in the field and not be appreciated as Bob really enjoyed all of his creations. He would be honored if you showcased his work and shared it for all who passed through to see and enjoy.
I am sad to see these sculptures being removed from where I've admired them ever since I was a child. If the county can own and display any of them anywhere, that would be amazing! It seems a shame that the new owners will be profiting from Mr Cage's creations. Those proceeds should be given to his family.
This would be a fantastic thing to do!
Placing this local artist’s sculptures on the Southern Gateway would be perfect to address beautification of SOBO.

These sculptures are part of our beautiful home. I fully support the purchase of the Bob Cage sculptures for the greenway. Carl the Dinosaur should stay in his place in front of the Halifax Library greeting all those visiting and exploring this town full of creative , giving, sharing and growing families and friends.
