A piece of art designed and built by sculptor Emmett Culligan will be installed at the new Goodwill Easter Seals store at 1239 University Ave. W. in St. Paul on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 10:30 a.m.

The sculpture, to be combined with new landscaping outside the store, is intended to enhance a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere along the Green Line.

Culligan is an artist based in Colorado. According to his website, his artistic concerns "lie foremost within the manipulation of material and often reference common forms found in everyday life. He considers the act of 'making' as primary to the universal human endeavor; finding comfort and purpose in this simple act. Beyond this intent and purpose, content is revealed through a process of 'intentional transference' as described by the artist."
