I love this. Yes it’s friendly and direct.

Hi Fiona,

Here is what Austin did for a particularly tempting piece…

It has been somewhat successful. 

 

I am interested in the responses as well. 

 

Thank you!

Subject: "Do Not Climb" signs on public art

 

We are placing some fabulous animal-themed sculptures along our riverside trail between downtown Waco and our zoo. They are gorgeous – diverse in materials, styles, subject matter, and scale. However, most should not be climbed on for the safety of public and the artwork.

 

We would love your advice as to how you have approached this. Particularly signage or other interventions that invited interaction but minimized actual climbing.

 

Or your suggestions for wording that is more creative than simply “Do not climb”.

 

Thanks so much,

Fiona & Amanda
