NORTH PLATTE, Neb - A grant from Mid Nebraska Community Foundation offered the Prairie Arts Center a chance to purchase a new sculpture for their outdoor sculpture garden. The "Fire Within" was created by Wayne artist Mike Fluent for the SWAN or Sculpture Walk Across Nebraska Project.

The communities of Norfolk and Grand Island are part of the SWAN project that bring outdoor art to residents and visitors through a revolving sculpture walk. PAC is thrilled to add this piece to their collection, thanks to Mid Nebraska Community Foundation. Our goal is to add art that inspires, beautifies and entertains the community and Fire Within is a great example of that. You can see Fire Within at PAC located at 416 N. Jeffers.
