Public Art at Fire Station 15

In 2025, Asheville-based artist Todd Frahm was selected to create public art as part of the new Fire Station 15. His work will be installed at the end of construction of the station which is slated to open in 2028.

The artist is gathering community input on their concept designs.

As artist and owner of Asheville-based Stone Cloud Studio, Todd has completed large-scale public works nationally and internationally. This includes  the Indianapolis International Airport, the Urbana Free Library in Illinois, Fullerton College in southern California, and the Energetikas Sculpture Park in Palanga, Lithuania. Regionally, he has completed commissions for the Town of Cary, Chapel Hill Public Library, and the Refinery Creator Space in downtown Asheville.

Todd earned his BFA in sculpture from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana and received his MFA from Southern Illinois University in 2002. He has exhibited widely in the surrounding area since relocating to western North Carolina in 2012. He has an impeccable track record for meeting deadlines and exceeding the expectations of art committees, collectors, and patrons.

About the Project

Fire Station 15, having reached the end of its useful life, will be replaced with a new 18,000 square feet state-of-the-art facility. The new site is located directly beside the Anne Gordon Center for Active Adults as well as Millbrook Exchange Park and Millbrook Magnet High School. The surrounding sites are heavily used by the public and the artwork will have visibility from patrons as well as by commuters along Spring Forest Road.
