COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — Northern Idaho officials are chasing a better rainbow after an $110,000 sculpture produced less than colorful results.
The Coeur d'Alene Press reports (http://bit.ly/WU3Ltf) that the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission is working with artist Howard Meehan to make the work in McEuen Park not so drab.
Commissioners say Meehan changed his proposal from when he submitted it to when his project was selected.
Instead of using electromagnetic glow wire he used cables and added lights.
Recreation Director Steve Anthony says Meehan was straight forward about the change to the work that is 30 feet high and 60 feet across.
The arts commission says it's underperforming because the lighting on the cables can only be seen up close.
The sculpture is less than a year old.
