Blue Sky Sculpture

Newton's Blue Sky Sculpture is located in Centennial Park, near the intersection of 12th and Kansas Avenue. The sculpture has been designated one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Art and was designed through the joint efforts of artists Phil Epp, painter and designer; Terry Corbett, ceramist and designer; and Conrad Snider, ceramist and designer.

The sculpture invites the viewer to consider how the natural Kansas sky and the art installation work together. Viewers are encouraged to pause at the viewing pad near the parking lot to watch the movement of the natural sky against the stationary cobalt-glazed tiles. A path and steps leading to the sculpture itself offer visitors additional opportunities for interaction as they are encouraged to touch the tiles and sculpture. The park is always open and there is no admission fee.
