Isn vandalism a major problem?
The experience in other states having sculpture projects has been that vandalism is not a major problem and that if anything, vandalism seems to be least at the areas in which the sculpture is located. The size, structural design and materials are of such a nature as to be highly resistant to damage. Steel, stone, aluminum, concrete and stainless steel all being strong, heavy materials. Due to the artist-in-residence program, many people have a feeling of respect and pride for the sculptures. We feel this reduced the emotions that cause vandalism.
