"Jacksonville Beach is home to the University of North Florida’s new Seaside Sculpture Park. The student sculptors cut through a metal ribbon with a blow torch Monday morning to unveil their artwork to the public.
Placed on 1st Street South — between 4th Street South and 5th Street South — the park features five unique sculptures designed by UNF seniors. It was created to provide student artists with real world experience while bringing more art to the community.
The park sits on land donated by MountainStar Capital for a year. MountainStar and the Lazzara Family Foundation donated $50,000 toward the project.
Featured at the park is Mary Ratliff’s “Symbiosis,” Emily Pinnell’s “Still Swimming,” “Ongoing Life” by Gillian Harper, “Wild Bird” by Diana Shepherd and “Ode to Franklin County” by David Peters."
