Jeff Bates has been selected to install artwork at a new roundabout at 24 and G roads in Grand Junction.

Bates, an artist who lives in Fruita, has installed artwork in four traffic circles in the Grand Junction area as well as elsewhere. His artwork is made from recycled steel.

Bates said he plans a tribute to wildlife for the roundabout at 24 and G roads featuring a three-dimensional elk, deer and bear as well as a bear cub and eagle.

The Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture selected Bates’ proposal. The $148,000 in funding for the artwork will come from the city’s art in public places program allocating 1 percent of certain capital projects for the acquisition of art.
