The initiative will feature large, artist-designed sun sculptures around the city.
“The really cool stuff about this is that the people that want to adopt whether it’s a business, just a person, or if they want it to go in a specific area. they get to work with the artists and the artists gets to put a design on together but also in collaboration with the person adopting,” said Ana Padilla, Program Manager for the Arts and Culture Division.
