Public art energizing communities
In front of the St. Charles Public Library are two 12-feet-high, stainless steel, human-shaped figures looking upward.
Entitled “Read Them Like A Book,” the figures are just one example of the public art made by Geneva artist Jim Jenkins. He thinks public art adds excitement to a community.
“I think it energizes a community,” he said.
