Keeping the dream alive
Artwork known as the“ Tree of American Dreams” by local artist Geoffrey C. Smith has been installed at the southeast corner of SW Hegener Drive and SW Village Parkway. It is comprised of a 14-foottall bronze tree with eight branches, topped by an American bald eagle.
The artwork was designed to serve as a landmark feature at the entrance to Legacy Park at Tradition and to honor the memory of the founder of the Sansone Group, Anthony F. Sansone Sr., who passed away in 2021. The American bald eagle was selected as the symbol to represent the strength of spirt that is found in all Americans, where the belief is any dream is possible. The surrounding area will be landscaped with low shrubs and grasses so as not to take away from the impact of the primary sculpture.
The curation of the artwork was fully funded by the Sansone Group as its contribution to the required Art in Public Places Program on new commercial development in Port St. Lucie, bringing thoughtful, inspiring and meaningful artwork to public spaces.
