Here comes the suns: Sunnyvale adds new art installation around the city
Briefly

Sunnyvale has unveiled the Sun Flair program, featuring 26 hand-painted sun sculptures created by local artists. Designed to enhance public spaces, these five-foot metallized suns reflect the community's values and history. The initiative, part of a $100,000 investment from the city's Public Art Fund, encourages exploration and whimsical encounters throughout Sunnyvale's parks. Originating from a 2021 City Council idea, the project aims to create engaging, iconic art that embodies Sunnyvale's identity. Each unique sculpture showcases artists' interpretations, with themes including innovation and local history, fostering a vibrant artistic environment.
One of the suns features a neon blue and yellow design with 'Sunnyvale' painted in a curvy font, symbolizing innovation and the city's fruity heritage.
