Art grant awarded for community solar array project

SUGAR LOAF, NY — SunCommon, in partnership with Orange County Citizens Foundation, has awarded its $3,000 art grant to Michael Asbill and Maxine Leu. The duo will install a new sculpture titled “Kurt and Arlette (Sky and Ground)” at the SunCommon community solar array on the Citizens Foundation’s Seligmann Homestead.

The sculpture will represent Kurt and Arlette Seligmann and aims to encourage interacting with the wildlife at the community solar array. Jeff Irish, general manager of SunCommon, said, “Providing food and shelter for pollinators is an important issue for our area and why we decided to plant wildflowers in and around all of our community solar arrays. We’re delighted to be giving this art grant for a sculpture that can continue to support that conversation.”

The sculpture will be unveiled before the end of spring. For more information, visit www.suncommon.com.
