Net loss: Where is Echelman’s ‘Bending Arc’?

Six months after artist Janet Echelman’s “floating sculpture” at the St. Pete Pier was taken down by the City for “assessment and repair,” it remains locked away and out of public view.

Hurricanes Debbie, Helene and Milton caused significant damage to the 424-foot Bending Arc, which had been installed in 2020. Rising 76 feet off the ground on steel pylons, the artwork was paid for with $1.5 million in private donations.
