Aerial Ballet _Monarch Installed

The latest sculpture commissioned by the Addison Arbor Foundation (AAF) are three 15-16 foot kinetic butterflies located at the southeast corner of Spring Valley Road and Vitruvian Way. This is the twelfth public art installation by AAF and the first kinetic art piece.  The artist, David B. Hickman, is well known for his kinetic art work which is designed to move with the wind.  A butterfly garden, also known as a pollinator patch, is located beneath the sculpture area to attract monarchs and other pollinators as they migrate through North Texas. AAF worked with master gardeners and the Town of Addison to select appropriate plants to attract the butterflies. The installation is across the street from the George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary School and at the entrance to the Vitruvian Park® development. UDR, Inc., the partial owner of Vitruvian Park®, made a contribution to the project.
