Public Art Chattanooga has been hard at work this summer adding more pieces to its already impressive art collection. This month, PAC installed “Moment” by Albert Paley. Located on the corner of West Main and Broad Street, a major intersection in the heart of the revitalized Southside, the piece is over 14 feet tall and nearly seven feet wide. Public art has played an important role in the revitalization efforts of the area, and “Moment” will complement other public art projects including Art on Main, a rotating exhibition of 13 sculptures sited along the sidewalks of Main Street. The large-scale sculpture will also function as a visual beacon and gateway adjacent to The Main Terrain, a new linear urban park slated to open late 2012 and funded in part through an Our Town Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Recently, PAC issued a “Call to Artist,” seeking qualifications from artists or artist teams for the commission and installation of four trailhead markers for Stringer’s Ridge, an urban forest park in Chattanooga. Up to five finalists will be selected to develop concept proposals for this project. For more information, contact PAC by visiting publicartchattanooga.com.
