COVID-19 Memorial

Glass Art Installation by artist Darryl Berry
​
Each tetrahedron in this art installation represents TEN LIVES LOST to the pandemic. As of today, the installation includes 15 tetrahedrons as more than 150 family members, friends and neighbors in Butler County have been taken by this virus.
​
As the pandemic continues, more pieces will be added to this memorial as this tragic number grows.
​
Broadcast media often concentrates on state and national statistics, it is our hope that this installation will bring attention to what this very real pandemic is doing locally and how we can work together to save lives of Butler County residents.
​
This exhibit is available for viewing during our normal operating hours**: Monday 9am-4pm
Tuesday 9am-8:30pm
Wednesday 9am-5pm
Thursday 9:am-8:30pm
​
Masks are required to enter our facility and strict sanitation and social distancing guidelines are observed.
