Rusty & Son (Bike Monster)

Members of the LiveDAYBREAK Community Art Advisory Committee (CAAC), which is spearheaded by residents, have begun to add engaging art pieces to help cultivate a love of the arts in the community. LiveDAYBREAK, is Daybreak’s nonprofit community council whose mission is to nurture a vibrant and caring community.

In conjunction with Fed Conlon of Sugar Post Metal, the CAAC has worked diligently to design and place the five sculptures in four locations around Oquirrh Lake and one location in Founders Park. “It really lends itself (Daybreak) to public art that would incorporate the idea that Daybreak has of being a walkable, bikeable, fitness-based community,” said Conlon. After deciding on the inspiration of the sculptures, the CAAC and LiveDAYBREAK worked with the community remembers to collect donated bikes that would be incorporated into the design of each “bike monster” sculpture.
