People’s Choice Award Winner
October 23, 2006
Northglenn, CO — The Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) announced today that Louise Peterson is the recipient of the 2006 People’s Choice Award for her bronze sculpture, High Four. The award is part of Northglenn’s Art on Parade program. The program features on-loan, outdoor sculpture exhibited at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park for one year. The public votes for their favorite, and NAHF works toward purchasing the piece for permanent display in the City of Northglenn. NAHF has already secured partial funding for the piece from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The foundation will continue fundraising through May of 2007 in an effort to purchase High Four.
The piece was inspired by two Great Danes: Hamlet, a Dane well-known in the show ring for his high five, and a friend’s Dane with its dew claws removed. Thus the piece became “High Four.” High Four will remain on display in E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park through May 2007, at which time six new sculptures on loan will be installed and the permanent location for High Four will be announced.
