Located Maranacook Community School, Route 17, P. O. Box 177, Readfield, Maine 04355
Remarks:
Commissioned under the Maine Percent for Art Program. The sculpture was created and installed during the last three weeks of school in June 1983 when Katz was a visiting artist. The idea for the sculpture was inspired by the school's being known as the "Meeting Place," or a center for activity. The artist was assisted in the idea and execution of the work by the school's faculty and students. A time capsule is buried at the site. IAS files include a related article from the Kennebec Journal (Augusta, Maine), June 17, 1983.
