FIELD NOTES:  The new public art by local artists were scheduled to be installed in their medians by May 2016. They have been getting up one-by-one despite delays one can expect in a new public art initiative. Some "Centered" sculptures are working around permits, construction, and theft like pedestrians dodging traffic . . . Next Up: Chris Bauder's "Night Eyes" lion was lifted, then recovered, and will be reinstalled in the next few weeks, said Michael Ogilvie, public art specialist for Clark County. So will K.D. Matheson's sculpture for Decatur Boulevard. Jesse Smigel's work will be up next month, and Luis Varela-Rico is waiting for roadwork at his location to be completed. Though no date is set, a ceremonial dedication for the ten sculptures is being planned.
