Public sculpture, whether sanctioned or not, has the potential to transform and energize community spaces. 

   

    When we snuck a Pikachu statue into the middle of a dry fountain on Terpsichore Street, we could not have imagined that it would attract so much attention. That the momentum would carry its image around the world.  Overwhelmed and touched doesn't begin to describe what the response has meant to us.

        

    #Pokémonument was never conceived to be a permanent installation. We would like to use that positive momentum to bring about a larger, more permanent change for our community. We have donated #Pokémonument to the Coliseum Square Association to be auctioned off to help fund the restoration of the fountains in the park.

​

    Thank you!  Thank you for all of your kind words and beautiful photographs. Most of all, thank you for contributing to the Renaissance of Coliseum Square Park!
