Gainesville artist Sarah Hinds chosen to create public artwork for new GPD building

Local artist Sarah Hinds was selected through a competitive, community-informed process to create a 5-by-10-foot fencing installation called “Common Light” for the Gainesville Police Department’s new Property and Evidence Building. The piece features circular forms evoking citrus slices, bicycle wheels, and sunlight, with flowing bands referencing pathways and rail lines. Hinds, a University of Florida graduate, will collaborate with the city’s Cultural Affairs office and GPD through completion, estimated for mid-2027.
