RMA to move sculpture by DiPasquale from the Diamond
As you all might of heard a new baseball team called the Flying Squirrels is moving into the Diamond, with that being said the ”Connecticut” sculpture, created by artist and long-time Fulton resident Paul DiPasquale is to be moved.
RMA officials said they’ve decided to seek a new home for the sculpture because it doesn’t represent the new team. The RMA will invite proposals later this week with hopes of finding a new home for “Connecticut” in the Richmond area. Proposals will be due Jan. 29. Submissions will be judged the proposer’s ability to maintain the artwork, to pay relocation costs, as well as the location and public access to the sculpture.
