Downtown Terre Haute is really starting to bloom with all of the improvements made to area....New buildings, a wonderful Children's Museum in the works and an expanding Arts Corridor!
The newest art installment is actually the entrance to Corridor and is located on the grounds of the Vigo County Public Library on the corner of 7th & Poplar. The title of the piece is "The Gate Keeper" and was designed, built and installed by artist Sally Rogers. I truly enjoy listening to artists speak about their art and what inspires them....Learn all about Sally and her art by clicking HERE.
Mary Kramer, Executive Director of Art Spaces, also spoke about the piece installed by Sally and how the sculpture represents the beginning and entrance to the Arts Corridor. The City of Terre Haute has been working with Art Spaces to create outdoor public artwork for the community.
Andrew Conner & Todd Nation also spoke at the ribbon cutting ceremony (along with other members related to revitalizing Downtown Terre Haute).
It is always such a pleasure to be a part of the growing art community in Terre Haute! I can't wait for the next sculpture to be installed~
