    The sculpture was funded from a $3,500 matching grant from the Vermont Council on the Arts. The curved wall was designed by Hardwick architect Michael Gohl. Local artists - Ken Leslie, Marie Lapre-Grabon, Kathy Mahurin-Volk, Ruth Gaillard, Jim Worcester, Cacky Peltz, and Claire Fern - did the mosaics. Glassblower Harry Bessett cast the ten heads. IAS files contain a copy of the grant application and related 1991 newsclippings from the Hardwick Gazettte.
