Raven
 The
Artwork: “Raven” was installed in City Hall in early 2007. It was
carved out of one piece of solid Black Belgian Marble. It was first
exhibited in Grandview Square Park during the summer of 2006. After
receiving many positive comments about the piece, the Public Art
Committee recommended the sculpture be acquired for the City.
The Artist: Bryan Young has been carving stone for almost 20
years. He specializes in birds and fish. Young works with a variety of
stones and bronze and has recently begun oil painting. Born in Traverse
City, Mich., Young lived throughout the West and Midwest before relocating
to Bloomington in 2003. He says he finds inspiration in his love of the
outdoors. Young is known for his ability to breathe life into stone.
Funding: “Raven” was funded by a grant from the Edina Community
Foundation and the William D. Radichel Foundation.
