These benches were installed at the Monroe County Marathon Courthouse in the Florida Keys, funded by the County’s 1% Art in Public Places program. Elizabeth Young, Executive Director of the Florida Keys Council of the Arts said in a press release:  “These benches create a lovely, quiet space for people who visit and work at the Courthouse. They fit perfectly for the vision of a contemplative courtyard where those waiting for jury duty or perhaps a stressful trial would have a welcoming spot to sit and talk.”  The Art in Public Places Committee chose the cool ocean and blue sky tones.
