BRADENTON, FL — The public art for Mineral Springs Park at Riverwalk East has been chosen by Bradenton’s Community Redevelopment Agency’s Public Art Advisory Board, according to a news release from the city.

“The Singing River” by artist Reinaldo Correa will be installed in the park by next spring.
Correa calls the project a “testament to the rich cultural heritage of Bradenton,” the news release said.

The artwork will light up between day and night and by capturing the wind, will create a soothing sound.
