Phoenix Rising or Red Chicken?

We all know about the iconic psuedo "Red Chicken" sculpture within the Phil's Trail System in Bend, Oregon. But ... do you know the story of the actual sculpture, the Phoenix Rising, located at Galveston and 14th street? In this podcast, we talk with Romy Mortensen of Art in Public Places, a non-profit formed in the 1970s to bring art, culture and education to Bend and Central Oregon. This podcast is supported in part by a grant from the Bend Cultural Tourism Fund. Dirty Freehub is a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling route guides. Our mission is to connect gravel cyclists to where they ride through stories about culture, history, people, places, and lands with the hope that they will become involved as advocates, volunteers, or donors with organizations that protect and preserve recreation spaces.
