Title
Approving the installation of Wisconsin Landscape Mosaic Mural by Artist Arnold Zweerts in the Madison Parks Division’s Lakeside Offices Boardroom
Body
Arnold Zweerts created the Wisconsin Landscape mosaic in 1977, which was later purchased by the MacCrimmon Family, who has hired Mosaic Historian Lilian Sizemore to find a permanent home for the piece. The mural was donated by the MacCrimmon Family and the Kohler Foundation, Inc provided funding for moving and conservation of the mural. On August 8, 2025, the City of Madison Common Council accepted ownership of the Wisconsin Landscape Mosaic Mural by Artist Arnold Zweerts in the Madison Parks Division’s Lakeside Offices Boardroom located at 330 E. Lakeside St, Madison, WI. The Parks Division has been coordinating with City of Madison Planning Division staff to prepare the site for the mural since 2022.
City Planning staff will provide an overview of the project and requests formal approval from the Board of Park Commissioners to install the mural in the Parks Division’s Lakeside Offices Boardroom.
