Want to see some public art through a new lens? Artists Eddie and Mary Phillips of Mansfield created the interactive art piece, “Brighten My Day,” a Kaleidoscope of Grandeur, for Meadowbrook Park’s growing sculpture garden.

Park visitors are able to enjoy bright colors by peering into the eye-piece of the oversized kaleidoscope.

"I feel during these current times the kaleidoscope might brighten the day of many, put a sparkle in the eye of the weary and cause the brain cells to dance around again,” said Joe Bruner, the Arlington Sculpture Garden Foundation’s art selection chairman. “The piece has both whimsical and artistic greatness. We are so excited to add this to the Arlington Sculpture Garden collection at Meadowbrook Park."

The Arlington Sculpture Garden Foundation unveiled its newest public art addition on Oct. 24, 2020.

The 54-acre park at 1300 E. Dugan St. also features a nine-hole golf course, hike and bike trails, a basketball court, a Monarch butterfly waystation, a picnic area, playground and park pavilion. Click here to learn more about Meadowbrook Park.
