Grand Lake Marquee & Sculpture
Tax deductible
Dear Prospective Donor,
Thank you for taking interest in the art piece: “We Are All in This Together,” a public art sculpture that will decorate the Grand Lake Marquee sign in the the City of Grand Lake. The roots of the “We’re All In This Together” sculpture are three stone monuments, spanning Grand Lake’s iconic boardwalk, connecting earth to sky. Artist Grace Noel’s sculpture re-tells the Ute Creation Story - the creation of the earth and all living things, and how the Ute people were brought to the Sacred Ground. Grand Lake represents this sacred place and is the source of the mighty Colorado River. Grace’s totemic archway will be made of colorful painted animals fabricated from Cor-Ten steel. It will be built on repurposed ski-lift cable, the sculpture will incorporate kinetic moon phases that respond to the wind, rain and sun. The Ute Origin Story is woven through the Moon phases, emphasizing a deep connection with the natural world. The sculpture creates an archway, framing mountains & sky through the lens of Ute tradition, and connections to Mother Earth. “We're All in This Together” tells a continuing story of people engaging with the land. The hope is to enrich the connection of the past, through many cultures, to the future of Grand Lake’s community. The sculpture affirms that ‘We’re all in this Together.’
Grace and her team greatly appreciate your time in reading this letter and look forward to answering any questions you may have. Fiscal support can be given to the “We Are All in this Together” GoFundme and Patreon pages. For other forms of support: material, labor, consulting - please reach out to [email redacted].
