2024 Sculpture Fundraiser
The Niwot Cultural Arts Association is raising funds to purchase “Peacemaker” by artist Bobbie Carlyle, which is located at the Niwot Sculpture Park at the corner of Niwot Road and 79th Street. The committee’s goal is to raise $78,000 to complete the purchase of the sculpture.
The NCAA recently announced that it has received a commitment for a $50,000 donation towards the purchase of “Peacemaker.” The commitment by the Burden Family is contingent on the NCAA raising the balance of the $78,000 purchase price. To date, $6,820 has been collected towards the $28,000 balance from donations by community members.
The NCAA hopes to raise the additional funds towards acquiring the bronze sculpture by Bobbie Carlyle.
Donate here to help make this sculpture a permanent part of the community.
