Oviedo, Fla. - The City of Oviedo and the Public Arts Board are proud to announce the completion of the ‘Wings of Joy’ installation in Solary Park. ‘Wings of Joy’ features five butterfly sculptures, thoughtfully placed in the park. The idea for ‘Wings of Joy’ originated in 2022, when the Public Arts Board proposed adding a sculpture project to Solary Park. Artist Diane Boswell, who had previously designed a project in Winter Park, presented her concept for the metal panels in June 2022. The panels display five unique butterfly designs. ‘Wings of Joy’ was conceived as a contemporary artistic interpretation of butterflies, aiming to immerse visitors in joy and happiness through interactive experiences for families and friends. The panels consist of high-definition photography printed on metal. “The Oviedo Public Arts Board is thrilled about the Wings of Joy installation,” said Public Arts Board Chair, Keith Koons. “This has come after many years because of the hard work of many people in the city. We hope that it will bring joy and inspiration to all Oviedo residents and visitors.” Complementing the sculptures, butterfly-friendly landscaping will soon be added to further enhance the park’s features. Over the past week, crews prepared the site for installation, including grading, drainage, and upcoming landscape modifications. The City encourages residents and visitors to interact with the display and capture photographs, creating lasting memories for all.
