Statues.com is proud to be recognized in KSL News for our involvement in Bees Around the Block, a public art project bringing seven custom bee sculptures to Salt Lake City.

The initiative celebrates the distinctive character of Salt Lake City's seven City Council districts through public sculpture, neighborhood-inspired artwork and community participation.

Bringing Bees Around the Block to Life

As reported by KSL, Statues.com and Industrial Concrete are two local businesses contributing to the creation of the sculptures and their bases.

Statues.com is helping produce the bee sculptures, while Industrial Concrete is contributing the bases. Both companies are supporting the initiative through in-kind donations.

The seven sculptures are being created in bonded marble and will eventually feature colorful designs inspired by Salt Lake City's neighborhoods.

Celebrating Salt Lake City's Neighborhoods Through Sculpture

Bees are a recognizable symbol of Utah's identity as the Beehive State. Bees Around the Block builds on that tradition by using public sculpture to celebrate the character and diversity of Salt Lake City's neighborhoods.

Local artists will create designs reflecting the communities represented by each sculpture, incorporating ideas gathered from residents.

The completed installations are intended to give visitors and residents another way to experience Salt Lake City's culture, creativity and neighborhood identity.

Public sculpture can celebrate local identity, connect people and create lasting landmarks that become part of a community.
