BOCA RATON, FLORIDA Art Piece: Rocket

DENVER, COLORADO Art Piece: I See What You Mean

PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA Art Piece: Popsicles No, this is not a desert mirage! Giant popsicles have popped up in Palm Springs by artist John Cerney, known for his large roadside installations. The popsicles are keeping Palm Springs cool—and yes, pun intended. See Popsicles while you can, as they’ll be gone by the New Year. @visitpalmsprings; visitpalmsprings.com

Located on the Boca Raton Innovation Campus and created by artist Hubert Phipps, the Rocket is valued at $1.5 million, stands 30 feet tall, weighs 9.8 tons, and took more than 2,200 square feet of stainless steel to construct. @bocamuseum; bocamuseum.org
