Cumberland man creates unique arch over Great Allegheny Passage at Connellsville (Cumberland Times-News)
The Cumberland Times-News reported on the work of Steven Fiscus and Jeff Dardozzi, two of the artists who created a public art sculpture in Connellsville, PA as part of the Trail Town Public Art Project - a Regional grant recipient.
Cumberland resident Steven Fiscus and Jeff Dardozzi of Newport on Saturday completed a 16-foot-wide, 14-foot-tall, four-and-a half ton arch structure spanning the 10-foot trail bed of the Great Allegheny Passage as it enters the city of Connellsville.
The arch was one of two pieces of public art commissioned for the town as an outgrowth of the Pittsburgh 250th anniversary celebration this summer. The Trail Towns Program (www.trailtowns.org) administered the program for Connellsville and five other towns along the trail in southwestern Pennsylvania, with support from the Progress Fund and Pittsburgh’s Sprout Fund, which specializes in public art. The gateway arch was further funded by the Connellsville Redevelopment Authority.
