The ceremony will be at the installation site in Deering Oaks Park (near Deering Avenue side of the Park)  PINECONE, by artist Patric Plourde, is constructed of 146 recycled steel shovels and has been gifted to the Portland Public Art Committee by TEMPOart in honor of Alice Spencer. Over 25 years ago, Alice Spencer was appointed to the first Portland Public Art Committee. Since then she has tirelessly championed public art in Portland – making an impact and delighting us all! Alice founded TEMPOart Portland in 2014 and through the organization she helped make Portland a city rich in public art. The installation of this eight foot long, permanent sculpture of a PINECONE in Deering Oaks Park will be a forever reminder to all who happen upon it about Alice’s hard work.
