NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-The arts are always alive and well in North Platte, and the Prairie Arts Center (PAC) continues its mission to make sure it remains that way.

If you've driven by the PAC lately, you may have noticed an addition to the property, a 15-foot art Obelisk. An Obelisk is defined as a stone pillar, typically having a square or rectangular cross-section and a pyramidal top, set up as a monument or landmark.

PAC Executive Director Holly Carlini says local artists Wava Best, Sharon Skinner, and Patsy Smith have been working for years to create tiles that will adorn the Obelisk.

"The trio worked together to create each piece out of clay, puzzled the designs together, and then finally fired and glazed the tiles," said Carlini.

The end result, Carlini said, will be a beautiful, flowing, and cohesive tower that reflects the arts, nature, and our community.

The tower will be completed on Thursday afternoon. So, the next time you drive or walk by the PAC, make sure you take a moment to observe this beautiful work of art.&nbsp;
