2019 BUDGET<br />
WORKSHOP WITH<br />
CITY COUNCIL<br />
On September 28, 2018, the City Council held<br />
their annual Budget Retreat with the<br />
City Manager and staff to review the<br />
Mayor and City Manager’s proposed<br />
Annual Operating and Capital<br />
Improvement Program (CIP) Budget<br />
for the 2019 fiscal year. The primary<br />
purpose of the Village’s Budget and<br />
budgetary process is to develop,<br />
adopt and implement a fiscally<br />
sound and sustainable plan to<br />
accomplish the established goals of<br />
Ron Rakowsky<br />

the upcoming year, while remaining<br />
consistent with the long-term vision of the<br />
community.<br />
The Village’s Budget is composed of an<br />
operating budget, which details expenditures for<br />
the upcoming year, and a capital budget, which shows the<br />
financial plans for current and long-term capital<br />
improvements, facilities, and equipment. Additionally,<br />
revenue streams collected by the Village are often restricted<br />
for specific purposes, as determined by existing laws and/or<br />
regulations. Development of the 2019 Annual Operating &<br />
Capital Improvement Budget focused on maintaining the<br />
existing levels of service, reinvesting in the infrastructure of<br />
the community, and ensuring the financial health of the<br />
organization without the addition of new taxes or issuance of<br />
debt.<br />
The Village receives revenue from several sources. Taxes and<br />
assessments represent the largest category accounting for<br />
more than 80% of all Village revenue. Other sources include<br />
intergovernmental revenues comprised of sources which are<br />
collected and shared with the Village by other governments,<br />
as well as federal, state and/or county grants, the issuance of<br />
various licenses and permits, user charges and fees intended<br />
RAMBLE WITH RON<br />
Due to the fall and winter seasons, Ramble with Ron will be<br />
suspended until the spring. If you have some ideas or<br />
suggestions about living or working in Greenwood Village that<br />
you would like to share with Mayor Ron Rakowsky, send him<br />
an email at rakowsky@greenwoodvillage.com or call the<br />
Mayor’s Office at 303-486-5745.<br />
to offset certain costs, punitive fines and forfeitures for the<br />
commission of minor crimes, and lastly, investment earnings<br />
and miscellaneous revenues.<br />
You can learn more about the proposed 2019 Budget online<br />

CARSON SKATEPARK<br />
EXPANSION GRAND OPENING<br />
The ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration<br />
for the Carson Skatepark expansion was held on Saturday,<br />
September 8, in William McKinley Carson Park.<br />
Approximately 200 people gathered to enjoy giveaways and<br />
snacks and to try out the new skatepark. The 4,000 squarefoot<br />
addition to the existing skatepark, which was built in<br />
2001, added street features such as boxes, a textured bank<br />
wall and rails.<br />
For the past several years, skatepark users have expressed their<br />
desire for street features, making this expansion initiative a<br />
real grassroots effort. Seventy-five members of the<br />
community attended a public meeting to show support for<br />
the project and to give their input to the designer/builder,<br />
Team Pain, regarding the main features they would like<br />
added to the skatepark.<br />
The Carson Skatepark Expansion Project was made possible<br />
through Greenwood Village Capital Improvement Program<br />
funds, a grant from Arapahoe County Open Spaces and a<br />
generous donation from the Deutsch family in memory of<br />
their son Andrew.<br />

HALLOWEEN SAFETY<br />
With Halloween approaching, the Village wants everyone to<br />
have a safe holiday. Halloween is one of the most thrilling<br />
nights of the year for children, and also one of the most<br />
dangerous nights for child pedestrians. Darting out into the<br />
street is one of<br />
the most<br />
frequent causes<br />
of pedestrian<br />
injuries among<br />
children. As<br />
children scurry<br />
from house to<br />
house collecting<br />
treats, it is<br />
important for<br />
parents and<br />
children to take<br />
precautions. (You<br />
GVPD School Resource Officer Rodney<br />
Valenzuela with children of Bright<br />
Beginnings Pre-School.<br />
can read about<br />
Halloween Safety<br />
Tips on page 10.)<br />
The Village Police Department will have extra police officers<br />
on duty in the community monitoring safety and traffic<br />
procedures to ensure that everyone has a safe Halloween.<br />
Officers will distribute glow sticks to children so they can see<br />
better in the dark, as well as be more visible to motorists.<br />
Please feel free to ask an officer if you need assistance or have<br />
any questions. Their goal is to ensure everyone makes it<br />
home safely.<br />

PROJECTS CONTINUE…<br />
As Fall approaches, you may be thinking about doing a home<br />
improvement project indoors. Here’s what you need to know<br />
before beginning your project.<br />

community by ensuring that all construction is completed<br />
consistent with safety standards. The permit process assures<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />
Village’s Use Tax and 0.25% is designated to Arapahoe<br />
County Open Space Tax. The estimated tax due is 3.25% of<br />
60% of the cost of construction. The first $3,500 of building<br />
material is exempt. Tax-exempt entities such as government<br />
agencies and religious and charitable organizations are<br />
exempt from the building materials use tax.<br />
the appropriate use of land through the enforcement of<br />
zoning ordinance and the safety of residents through<br />
enforcement of the building codes.<br />
Q: What types of drawings, plans, site plans, or other<br />
paper work are required?<br />
A: Please contact the Community Development Department<br />
for specific submission requirements. Small, simple projects<br />
require minimum documentation. Larger projects require<br />
more detailed information.<br />
Q: I have a Home Owners Association. Will they need to<br />
be contacted for approval?<br />
A: You should contact your HOA to understand their review<br />
process. Your permit application to the City of Greenwood<br />
Village is independent from the HOA approval process.<br />
Q: When should I apply for a permit?<br />
A: Please submit your building permit application to the<br />
Community Development Department before you begin any<br />
work. We recommend you have a complete understanding of<br />
your HOA requirements before submitting your permit<br />
application.<br />
Q: How long will the permitting process take?<br />
A: The Community Development Department works quickly<br />
to respond to your permit application. For example,<br />
complete submissions for residential re-roof, landscape or<br />
interior remodel permits are usually reviewed within three<br />
business days. Residential decks or additions are generally<br />
reviewed within five business days.<br />
Q: How much will the building permit cost?<br />
A: Permit fees are calculated based upon the valuation of the<br />
proposed project. Building fees include a permit fee, a plan<br />
review fee and building materials use tax. All fees are paid<br />
prior to the issuance of the building permit.<br />
Q: How is Building Materials Use Tax calculated?<br />
A: Building materials use tax is calculated based on the<br />
valuation of the proposed project, which includes the total<br />
cost of the project, including building materials, labor,<br />
overhead expenses, and profit.<br />
The building materials use tax is 3.25%, of which 3% is the<br />
Q: How Do I Choose the Right Contractor?<br />
A: You don’t want your home improvement repairs to lead to<br />
despair. To protect yourself from home improvement fraud,<br />
only do business with local and well established businesses.<br />
Never do business with someone who shows up uninvited on<br />
your doorstep. Never allow anyone into your home that you<br />
do not know and trust. Report any suspicious visitors to your<br />
home to the Greenwood Village Police Department at<br />
303-773-2525.<br />
All contractors who are hired to perform construction<br />
activities in the Village are required to be licensed and<br />
provide proof of necessary insurance. All permits issued by<br />
the Village Building Division will be issued on letter-sized<br />
yellow paper. The permit is required to be on the job site at<br />
all times to enable inspectors to document their review of the<br />
contractor’s work.<br />
Get a written contract spelling out what work will be done,<br />
what materials will be used, what it will cost and when work<br />
will start and when it will be completed. Verify that the<br />
contractor has proof of licenses, workmen’s compensation<br />
and liability insurance before any work begins on your home.<br />
Have yourself listed as an additional insured on the<br />
contractor’s policy. GV<br />
CONTRACTORS WITH NO<br />
BUILDING PERMITS<br />
Residents should be aware that some homeowners may be<br />
paying their contractors for building permits for their projects,<br />
but the contractors may not be obtaining the necessary permits<br />
to complete the project. Without a building permit, residents<br />
will not receive the benefits of code compliance inspections to<br />
ensure the project was constructed safely.<br />
All building permits through the Village will be issued on lettersized<br />
yellow paper. The permit is required to be on the job site<br />
at all times to enable inspectors to document their review of the<br />
contractor’s work. Homeowners having remodel work done<br />
should always request to see the permit prior to allowing<br />
construction to begin. You may also contact the Building<br />
Division at any time to ask if a permit has been issued for your<br />
project.<br />

ENSURING A SAFE<br />
community<br />
The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protect residents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain a crime-free<br />
environment requires an active, engaged, and aware community. Remember — the most important single act you can do is to be aware of<br />
your surroundings at all times and call the Police to report crimes or suspicious activities! As an observer, if the situation doesn’t look or<br />
feel right, it probably is not. By going with your instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress or save the life of a neighbor.<br />
HALLOWEEN<br />
SAFETY TIPS<br />
For Kids<br />
• Never go into a stranger’s house or<br />

are going with.<br />
• Decorate costumes, bags and sacks<br />

Halloween Party, make sure that<br />
you have met the parents and know<br />
what kinds of activities will be<br />
taking place at the party.<br />

For more information, please call the Police Department at 303-773-2525.<br />
• Children should always go out<br />
Trick-or-Treating accompanied by a<br />
responsible adult.<br />
• Let your child know not to cut<br />
through back alleys and fields, and<br />

treats until parents can inspect them.<br />

lights, is required to stop the vehicle. Drivers do not need<br />
to stop for a school bus upon meeting or passing a school<br />
bus which is on a different roadway. School bus drivers are<br />
authorized to report violators to the appropriate law<br />
enforcement agency who may issue a citation on the basis<br />
of the information provided.<br />
• Remember that the sun can obscure your vision any<br />
time of the year. Use visors and sunglasses to reduce glare<br />
and make it easier to see pedestrians.<br />
• Pedestrians once in a crosswalk have the right of way.<br />
If you maintain a safe speed for conditions and foot traffic<br />
you should have plenty of time to slow down and stop<br />
safely.<br />
• When the traffic lights go to yellow is the time to slow<br />
down and prepare to stop. Please don’t drive to beat the<br />
lights; they are timed based on the speed limits and traffic.<br />
When you rush one light you often just get stopped at the<br />
next one.<br />
• Be patient, be aware. Many people are not in these<br />
hurried times. Make sure the intersection is clear of people<br />
and traffic before going ahead, even if you do have a green<br />
light.<br />
• Right on Red. Where allowed and not all intersections are<br />
clear for right on red, the car at the red light does not<br />
have the right of way. Cars turning on arrows, or going<br />
with the flow of traffic always have the right of way.<br />

COLSMAN TUNNEL<br />
REHAB PROJECT<br />
BEGINS IN<br />
OCTOBER<br />
Southgate Sanitation District will<br />
begin work on the Colsman Tunnel<br />
Rehabilitation Project in <strong>October</strong>.<br />
The project consists of rehabilitating<br />
an existing 1.5-mile long sewer tunnel<br />
by pulling a new, 48-inch diameter<br />
plastic pipe through the tunnel. The<br />
new pipe is made of high density<br />
polyethylene (HDPE) and the joints<br />
will be fused together, making it one<br />
solid piece of pipe through the entire<br />
length of the tunnel.<br />
The contractor established work sites<br />
at two locations to pull the pipe in<br />
place — one at the entrance of the<br />
tunnel and the other at the exit of the<br />
tunnel. One work site (the “east<br />
portal”) will be located at Southgate’s<br />
offices near East Orchard Road and<br />
South Jackson Street. The second work<br />
site (the “west portal”) will be located<br />
on the south side of East Orchard<br />
Road between South Ogden Court<br />
and South Humboldt Court.<br />
The schedule for the work will be:<br />
<strong>October</strong> 2018- May 2019 for tunnel<br />
rehabilitation work at the west portal.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 2018- November 2019 for<br />
tunnel rehabilitation work and site<br />

Regular impacts to traffic are not<br />
expected at the east portal since work<br />
will occur on Southgate’s property and<br />
adjacent sewer easements. Traffic<br />
impacts are expected to be minor,<br />
infrequent, and relating to equipment<br />
and material deliveries.<br />
Although this is not a Village project,<br />
the Village will actively work with<br />
Southgate to manage communications<br />
to ensure residents are informed<br />
during the project through the<br />
<strong>Newsletter</strong>, website and social<br />
media. GV<br />
improvements at the east portal<br />
Traffic impacts will occur near the<br />
west portal:<br />
• Lane closures on E. Orchard Road<br />
from S. Ogden Court to S.<br />
Humboldt Court will be required<br />
with approved traffic plans by<br />
Centennial and Greenwood Village<br />
• E. Orchard Road will be<br />
temporarily re-striped to maintain<br />
2-way traffic, shifted to the north<br />
• S. Cherrywood Circle will be closed<br />
at E. Orchard Road and traffic will<br />
be detoured to S. Clarkson Street<br />

TAKE note<br />
LEAF REMOVAL<br />
As we enter into the fall season,<br />
keeping Greenwood Village clean will<br />
continue to be a priority. To assist with<br />
these activities, we ask that you do not<br />
place loose leaves or yard debris in the<br />
street as our sweepers are not equipped<br />
to pick up large piles of leaves.<br />
Moreover, this debris can be wind<br />
blown or inappropriately washed into<br />
the storm systems and waterways of<br />
the Village. Instead, please look to<br />
other options to dispose of this debris.<br />
• Arrange for your lawn care provider<br />
to remove the leaves when<br />
performing your yard service.<br />
• Bag your leaves in compostable<br />
paper yard waste bags and place<br />
them out with your weekly trash<br />
pick up. These bags of leaves will<br />
end up in the landfill and paper is<br />
preferred over plastic which will<br />
never break down and is bad for<br />
the environment no matter what its<br />
destination. Republic Services has<br />
no limit as to how many bags of<br />
leaves they will pick up, however,<br />
keep in mind if some bags are left<br />
at the curb they will be returning<br />
once they have unloaded their<br />
truck.<br />
Ace Hardware Cherry Hills<br />
Marketplace at University Boulevard<br />
and Orchard Road has teamed up with<br />
the City of Greenwood Village to<br />
provide residents with FREE<br />
compostable paper yard waste bags.<br />
Use the provided coupon or visit<br />
www.acelittleton cherryhills.com to<br />
download your free coupon. Each<br />
resident will be eligible for a free 5-<br />
pack, while supplies last during the<br />
month of <strong>October</strong>. For more<br />
information, please contact Ace<br />
Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at<br />
5910 S. University, Suite A-17<br />
Greenwood Village, 720-974-1080.<br />
• Recycle your leaves at Village<br />
Greens Park. Leaves can be dropped<br />
off loose or in bags between<br />
<strong>October</strong> 8 and November 18,<br />
2018, in the dedicated area of the<br />
north parking lot any day of the<br />
week. This option is<br />
environmentally friendly with staff<br />
spreading and disking into the soil<br />
where native grass cannot be<br />
established adding nutrients,<br />
helping with moisture and also<br />
providing a place for soil bore<br />
microorganisms to live. It does not<br />
impact the landfill and it is cost<br />
effective. No bags are required and<br />
you do not have to wait until your<br />
trash day to dispose of them.<br />

GIVING BACK<br />
TO THE COMMUNITY<br />
COMMISSION REAPPOINTMENT<br />
The following citizen was reappointed by the Greenwood Village<br />
City Council to serve on the Arts & Humanities Council:<br />
Cynthia Madden Leitner, At-Large<br />
(reappointment)<br />
Arts & Humanities Council<br />
Cynthia Madden Leitner co-founded<br />
the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA)<br />
with her parents, Colorado developer<br />
John W. Madden, Jr. and his wife<br />
Marjorie Madden in 1982. Designed as<br />
a “museum without walls,” MOA’s<br />
original mission followed the<br />
definition by integrating the arts into commercial landscapes and<br />
architecture to create synergistic environments for everyday living.<br />
Beginning with a donated outdoor collection of 12 sculptures<br />
placed in Greenwood Plaza, the collection now has over 200<br />
monumental sculptures installed throughout the Denver Metro<br />
area. In 1995 The Colorado Governor’s Award for Excellence in the<br />
Arts was awarded to Cynthia for the realization of MOA’s unique<br />
vision.<br />
Cynthia Madden Leitner has curated over 200 exhibitions for the<br />
Museum of Outdoor Arts and more than 20 exhibitions for other<br />
arts organizations during her 35-year tenure as President and<br />
Executive Director. She has worked with local, national, and<br />
international artists including Nick Bantock, Sanfte Strukturen,<br />
Daniel Sprick, and Claudy Jongstra. In 1999 Cynthia Madden<br />
Leitner co-curated A View from Denver with the Denver Art Museum<br />
for the White House Rose Garden. Among the Museum’s<br />
publications are Portrait of a Museum and Secret Rooms; the films<br />
“Palazzo Verdi” and “Sacred Water at Burning Man” both aired on<br />
PBS. Cynthia has also spearheaded monumental projects such as<br />
creating Design and Build, a renowned education internship for<br />
emerging artists, building Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (FGA) from<br />
an earth sculpture into the largest outdoor live music venue in<br />
Colorado, and designing and creating Element House, an off-thegrid<br />
home near the site of Charles Ross’ Star Axis.<br />
Among civic activities, Cynthia Madden Leitner serves on the<br />
PLACE advisory board, and the Greenwood Village Arts and<br />
Humanities Council. She has also served on the board of the<br />
International Sculpture Center, is an Honorary Trustee of The<br />
Women’s Foundation of Colorado, and a founder of the National<br />
Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Cynthia has<br />
also been selected for the Denver Mayor’s Commission of Arts,<br />
Culture and Film, the Denver Foundation’s Arts and Culture<br />
Committee, the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, and the<br />
Advisory Committee for the Museum of Contemporary Arts in<br />
Denver.<br />
Cynthia and the Museum of Outdoor Arts have been honored with<br />
the following awards: Distinguished Contributions to Women in the<br />
Arts – Colorado Committee for the National Museum of Women in<br />
the Arts, 1991; Museum Art Educator of the Year – 1993;<br />
Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts – 1995; Englewood<br />
Builder Award – 2004; Mayor Hickenlooper’s Proclamation for<br />
Design and Build Day – 2004; Element House designs and film<br />
accessioned by MoMA NY – 2014; AIA New York Design Award<br />
issued to MOS Architects for MOA’s Element House – 2015;<br />
Architecture Design Award issued to MOS Architects for work<br />
including MOA’s Element House – 2015; Governor Hickenlooper’s<br />
Proclamation for Design and Build Day – 2016.<br />
WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET?<br />
Do not rake or blow leaves, grass or other trash into the street.<br />
The street sweeping equipment is not able to handle branches or<br />
large quantities of leaves and grass and can spread these materials<br />
around the street. Leaves and grass are “natural” but when it rains,<br />
these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm<br />
drains and eventually lead to Village waterways such as streams<br />
and ponds. These materials over fertilize the water and encourage<br />
harmful aquatic plants and algae to thrive, which has a lasting<br />
negative impact on water quality, local ecology and recreational<br />
use of our waterways and is a form of stormwater pollution. Just<br />
like we would ask you to not throw trash in the street, it is the<br />
same for leaves.<br />

shop. Although new to the Village,<br />
Masten’s has a long history of success<br />

ago. Established in 1986, Masten’s<br />

MASTEN FINE FRAMING & GIFTS<br />
Business owner Reed Masten had<br />
Cherry Hills Marketplace at the top of<br />
his list years ago for the ideal business<br />
location. Since there was already a<br />
framing store located nearby, Masten<br />
opted to open his store elsewhere.<br />
Now, 32 years later it has come full<br />
circle and Reed was able to find an<br />
ideal spot at Cherry Hills Marketplace.<br />
“DDHD — Dreams Don’t Have<br />
Deadlines,” quoted Reed.<br />
Cherry Hills Marketplace has been<br />
very welcoming. According to Reed,<br />
the local shop owners have been a very<br />
hospitable and the management<br />
company has been very efficient in<br />
handling issues that have arisen. The<br />
City was efficient and friendly at<br />
getting inspections completed along<br />
with answering all of Reeds questions.<br />
The Cherry Hills Marketplace is an<br />
ideal location for Masten Fine<br />
Framing & Gifts. In addition to seeing<br />
customers, many of Masten’s existing<br />
clientele live in or near Greenwood<br />
Village. Cherry Hills Marketplace<br />
offers a variety of shopping experiences<br />
and Masten Fine Framing & Gifts<br />
adds to that uniqueness. Across the<br />
street from Cherry Hills Market Place<br />
is Greenwood Village’s Curtis Center<br />
for the Arts which provides art classes<br />
and has an art gallery for regular art<br />
exhibits. Reed hopes to develop and<br />
maintain a strong relationship as both<br />
Masten’s and Curtis support the arts in<br />

TRI-COUNTY HEALTH<br />
DEPARTMENT REPORTS FIRST<br />
THREE CASES OF WEST NILE<br />
VIRUS THIS YEAR, IN ADAMS<br />
AND ARAPAHOE COUNTIES<br />
Tri-County Health Department (TCHD) has confirmed<br />
West Nile (WNV) virus infection in three residents, one in<br />
Adams and two in Arapahoe Counties. Two of the three<br />
residents have been hospitalized. These are the first human<br />
WNV infections reported in the TCHD jurisdiction of<br />
Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties this year. Most<br />
people get WNV from the bite of an infected mosquito.<br />
The Colorado Department of Public Health and<br />
Environment reports that as of September 14, there have<br />
been 47 human cases of WNV statewide this year, with one<br />
death reported. Historically, the vast majority of human cases<br />
are reported in August and September. Cases of human<br />
WNV have been reported from Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder,<br />
Clear Creek, Delta, El Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan, Mesa,<br />
Montrose, Otero, San Miguel, Washington, and Weld<br />
counties.<br />
Prevention Tips<br />
• Eliminate standing water in rain gutters, old tires, buckets,<br />
plastic covers, toys, or any other container where<br />
mosquitoes can breed.<br />
• Keep mosquitoes away from exposed skin by wearing<br />
long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes and socks.<br />
• Use EPA-registered mosquito repellents that contain one<br />
of the following active ingredients: DEET, Picaridin,<br />
IR3535, Oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol,<br />
or 2-undecanone as directed while outdoors.<br />
• Mosquito-proof your home by repairing screens on<br />
windows and doors.<br />
• Stay inside at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most<br />
active or take steps to avoid mosquito bites if outside.<br />
Most people who are infected with WNV will not become ill.<br />
About 1 in 5 people who are infected develop a fever with<br />
other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains,<br />
vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Most people with this type of<br />
WNV disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness<br />
can last for weeks or months.<br />
Serious symptoms can occur in a few individuals. About 1 in<br />
150 people who are infected develop a severe illness affecting<br />
the central nervous system such as encephalitis (inflammation<br />
of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the membranes<br />
that surround the brain and spinal cord).<br />
• Symptoms of severe illness include high fever, headache,<br />
neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors,<br />
convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and<br />
paralysis.<br />
• Severe illness can occur in people of any age; however,<br />
people over 60 years of age are at greater risk. People with<br />
certain medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes,<br />
hypertension, kidney disease, and people who have<br />
received organ transplants, are also at greater risk.<br />
• Recovery from severe illness might take several weeks or<br />
months. Some effects to the central nervous system might<br />
be permanent.<br />
• About 1 out of 10 people who develop severe illness<br />
affecting the central nervous system die.<br />
See your healthcare provider if you develop the symptoms<br />
described above.<br />
Tri-County Health Department serves over 1.5 million<br />
people in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. It<br />
provides over 60 programs and services including birth<br />

NEW PUBLIC ART IN<br />
WESTLANDS PARK<br />
Once again, the Greenwood Village Arts and<br />
Humanities Council has partnered with the<br />
Museum of Outdoor<br />
Arts to bring public<br />
art to Westlands Park.<br />
This year the outdoor<br />
exhibit will feature<br />
three new works from<br />
Chicago based artist<br />
Neil Goodman.<br />
Currently a professor<br />
of art at Indiana<br />
University Northwest,<br />
Goodman’s work has<br />
been featured in Art<br />
Forum, Art in America,<br />
ARTnews and<br />
Sculpture Magazine.<br />
Goodman’s work is<br />
not rooted in organic<br />
forms. His objects<br />
look like physical<br />
manifestations of<br />
mathematical<br />
principles, equations<br />
somehow made<br />
dimensional and wrought in metal and fiberglass.<br />
For all their weight and bulk, they have an airy<br />
purity about them, like music. To walk among<br />
them is a little like listening to a Bach Fugue. The<br />
three works, “Rudder,” “Wind” and “Reach” will be<br />
on display in Westlands Park through August 2019.<br />
