Rio Lakefront to repurpose sculpture for Copper Canyon Grill plaza update


Rio Lakefront
in Gaithersburg is planning to repurpose a sculpture it originally commissioned for temporary use in 2016 as a new public art installation on the plaza outside Copper Canyon Grill, located at 100 Boardwalk Place. The restaurant is adding a dining pier, and making several smaller changes to its building area as part of that project. Dan Figueroa of property owner Peterson Cos. wrote in a memo to the City of Gaithersburg that the sculpture will serve as the focal point of the updated plaza.

The bronze Barton Rubenstein sculpture will be installed on a black granite base, with upward-directed lighting beneath it. Installation of the new public art feature will be completed by spring of 2024, with the go-ahead from the city's Cultural Arts Advisory Committee.
