OUTDOOR ART continued from 58
A giant barn beam sculpture of bluegrass instruments called High Lonesome, by Brown County artist, custom furniture maker, and craftsman Michael Evans, was installed in the elevated garden in front of the Nashville House and Spears Pottery.
All Together Now, a metal sculpture featuring wire faces made of discarded metal paraphernalia, sits at the corner of Jefferson Street and Pat Reilly Drive. It was created by local teenagers participating in the BETA after school arts enrichment program with assistance from artist and welder Brad Cox of Cox Creek Mill.
“ I like that one because it’ s about the kids. It’ s a happy kind of a piece, and we can all relate to it,” Martin said. An angular sea-green fiberglass obelisk, Shelter, by Luke Crawley and Quincy Owens has been placed in the grassy area of Coachlight Square.
Martin said the Commission has“ borrowed” the sculptures, for two years and provided a spot for them to be displayed. Some of them are for sale. At the end of the two years if they are not sold they will go back to their creator.
Soaring, the Elder Heart sculpture next to the Visitors Center and the license plate palm tree on North Van Buren by Jim Connor.
To commemorate the 2012 Indiana State Cultural District designation for Arts Village Brown County, sculptor William Galloway created a large vertical limestone piece titled Dancers, depicting ballet dancers. It was installed in front of the Artist Colony Inn at the corner of Franklin and Van Buren streets. Galloway offered one of his limestone sculptures to each of the five named state cultural districts through the Indiana Arts Commission.
