Rushville Sign
Rushville sign proposal designed by landscape architect Kayla Meyer
The Rushville Chamber of Commerce recently approached the Sandhills Institute seeking proposals for a new design of the Rushville signs. These signs are located on the East and West ends of Rushville on Highway 20.
Kayla Meyer, a landscape architect based out of Omaha and our 2015 Artist Fellow, partnered with the Chamber to design the sign, which aims to connect Rushville to its "Deep Roots in the Land."
The design was made with Rushville's weather in mind; the sign itself is made of steel with various COR-TEN elements. The color chosen connects the sign to the brick of the historic Sheridan County Courthouse.
The Rushville Chamber of Commerce has completed fundraising for the fabrication of the sign and is currently fundraising for the final installation. Citizens and local businesses alike have donated to the project.
A special thanks to everyone who participated in design discussion and fundraising. It was truly a community effort.
