Ascension Sculpture

Overview

The City of Duluth and AGCO Corporation were proud to introduce the City's Gateway Art Piece Ascension. The artwork displays Duluth's rich history as a strong & humble farming community and continues its legacy by reaping and harvesting the fruits of our labors through the strength and perseverance embodied in our community today. Reflecting the Spirit of Duluth, Dillon's design lifts the labors of our past, sowing seeds of opportunity for today & carrying Duluth to greater heights for tomorrow. Michael says, “In developing a public artwork for the citizens of Duluth, and to honor its generous donor AGCO, my goal was to center the theme to a design that speaks to Duluth’s history as a farming community.” The artwork is also a symbol that “ascends” and reflects this community’s strong values of today and inspiring vision for tomorrow. AGCO is a mirror of this spirit. As a vital member of Duluth’s community.
