Tennessee Leaf by Terry Allen is one of the two new sculptures in Chattanooga’s Renaissance Park (our newest park). The second one is called A Walk in the Park by Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse.
The Hunter Museum of American Art sponsored an event to introduce these two new pieces, with a few words by the artists. Fortunately, it was a lovely day today - bright sunshine and not too hot. Sorry I didn’t take a camera - we’ll have to go back and take some photos.
The five finalists for each of these commissions were submitted to the public for registering their choice. I voted, and actually voted for both of these pieces. They are terrific!
We’d never been in this new park before this afternoon, but today won’t be the last. It’s a fantastic urban park, right on the river, but has had hills “built”, walkways laid out, bridges built, to allow for exploring, but still have a feeling of solitude.
We do love living in Chattanooga. Come visit us!
