LOS GATOS GATEWAY SCULPTURE #1 / TOM SPILSBURY, DR. ELLIS WEEKER
KCAT TV 1535:20
Arts and Culture Commissioners, Tom Spilsbury and Dr. Ellis Weeker, share their excitement with host Lissa Kreisler about the first of many installations of a sculpture that represents The Gateway Project. In partnership with the Town of Los Gatos, the Commission has been working on this project for years and it has now come to fruition with 11 identified gateways around Los Gatos for future sculptures. A call for artists and submissions was circulated which resulted in 19 artists applying, and Matt Babcock was selected to design and construct the first one located on Route 9 and Alberta Way.
In the second half of this show, Matt talks about the history of the Los Gatos cats and how his vision for this sculpture derived. Drive by and check out this beautiful sculpture and stay tuned for future locations and designs of the next Gateway Project sculpture.
