SUMMARY:Downtown Cartersville Art Walk Unveiling
DESCRIPTION:Downtown Cartersville Art Walk Unveiling\n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 12\, 12:00 PM - 7:00 PM\n\nHistoric Downtown Cartersville\n\n\n\nThe downtown Cartersville Art Walk program is the start of an ongoing initiative by the Cartersville Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to bring more public art into the district. Downtown is a hub for the arts in Bartow County with opportunities to see music\, theatre\, comedy\, dance\, architecture\, and visual art all within a few close blocks. \n\n\n\nThis Art Walk will consist of three sculptures from various artists from the area:\n\n\n\nPathways to Freedom: a story in every stitch by Przemyslaw Kordys\n\nAccording to oral traditions about the Underground Railroad\, quilts were sometimes used as a way to leave messages for slaves as they fled towards freedom. For the descendants of slaves this sculpture stands as a memorial to their forebearers. It also symbolizes the importance of freedom\, dignity\, and sovereignty for all humans. The quilt squares tell a story of courage\; for those who escaped and for those who aided in the commission of their "crime". These individuals were the pioneers of emancipation and they helped forge new Pathways to Freedom.\n\n\n\nMesa Man by Eric Strauss\; on loan from the Booth Western Art Museum\n\nCreated in the mid-1990's for an exhibition at City Hall East in Atlanta\, Mesa Man has evolved over time. Strauss designed this figurative piece as a diversion from his older work\; it has been added to over time. Imagine standing on top of a Southwestern mesa\, arms outstretched\, gazing up at the moonlit sky\, and you will know what it is like to be Mesa Man.\n\n\n\nElement of Reason by Eric Strauss\n\nBorn out of Strauss's early career\, Element of Reason was the final piece created in his "Earth\, Moon\, Sun" series\, which spanned from 1987 through 1995. Reflecting upon childhood memories of time spent deep in the mountains exploring nature\, and appreciating life\, is what led to his spiritual creations in steel. Whether you're reaching for the stars\, or heaven above\, there is an Element of Reason.
