 The Caruso’s and family were on site for the installation of Jane DeDecker’s ‘YMCA’ this morning, their special donation is a tribute to their late daughter. Julie’s smile will forever be present in the second portrait of the bronze sculpture. We are certain these will not be the only photos of families with the sculpture. What a fun greeting to the new Ottawa YMCA in Illinois, we can’t wait to see more, please tag us in your pics. The blue skies didn’t travel with the truck from Colorado, but we’re happy for the storms to have held off long enough to place the sculpture. Special thanks to POINTCORE Construction for installing the artwork #SculptureIsATeamSport Update 4/26/2024: It's a beautiful Colorado blue sky day to load Jane DeDecker’s YMCA which is heading to its new home at the entry of the new Ottawa YMCA in Ottawa, IL. Special thanks to August at DeDecker studio for making it look easy to move sculpture, Lucus from Landstar for driving the sculpture, and big Dave for making sure we got this right. #SculptureIsATeamSport The piece will be met on site by John who is on his way with a stop in Kansas for a site review on another project. We love being busy.
Update 4/15/24: The signage is finished for the plaza in Ottawa, and the sculpture is ready for loading. All will be transported soon for a late-April installation.  Update 4/1/2024: Jane and August have been busy finishing two large-scale pieces at DeDecker Studio. We love the warmth of the patina on YMCA. It really brings the piece to life and highlights the joyful faces. Update 3/20/2024: Metal chasing is complete and ready for patina.
