Arc of Life

Stuart Namakura, 2010. Arc of Life pays homage to the fire fighting and emergency services performed by the firefighters in the Missoula community with three art elements: stainless steel & granite interpretive centerpiece, a concrete pad with natural stone path and risers for engraved metal plates. Using the element of water as a symbol of life and sustenance, Arc of Life reaches into this aspect of tribute imagery to generate a remembrance of the act of saving lives. It is a place for healing, remembrance and praise. A project of the City of Missoula Public Art Committee.

**City sponsored public art funded by the Percent for Art Program and a part of the art collection of the City of Missoula**
