New roundabout art installed at Hague & Carrigan

The intersection of Hague and Carrigan roads is a little more colorful this week.

On Sunday, artist Kevin Huff and volunteers from Keep Noblesville Beautiful (KNB) installed the three-piece aquatic-themed sculpture. The sculpture features a sailboat and two of the white pelicans that Morse Reservoir is known for.

KNB has been fundraising for years to install roundabout art in Noblesville. This particular sculpture was awarded a $5,000 grant from the Indiana Destination Development Corporation.

According to KNB President Darren Peterson, more roundabout art is planned for Noblesville.

“We are extremely happy with how this piece turned out,” Peterson said. “Huff captured the bright, vibrant atmosphere of Morse Reservoir that so many residents and visitors enjoy. Over the next three years we hope to bring four more sculptures to the City of Noblesville.”

Peterson said the next art installation will be a butterfly sculpture and pollinator garden at the intersection of 191st Street and Little Chicago Road. The 191st and Little Chicago sculpture was the recipient of a Duke Energy Foundation nature grant, which has helped to accelerate the installation timeline.
