This piece of art has been generously donated by Joe & Nancy Braucher.  “Bruno” is a 653 lb. steel bear created by artist, Doug Weigel.  Doug lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  he designs and produces two and three-dimensional sculptures and furniture in steel and other metals.  Inspired by Native American petro glyphs, western art and natural forms, Doug’s unique art is expressed in a contemporary way.    Doug’s work has been accepted by three presidents and has been commissioned for the Central Avenue Project in Phoenix, the Petrified National Forest, the Scottsdale Airport, the Petro glyph National Monument and is in numerous galleries.  He is represented by Wilde Meyer Gallery of Arizona.

This event sponsored in part by River Valley Bank, a partner for our community.
