Creating the Project
In this collaboration, the Arts
Council worked alongside Jim Davis,
owner of Sculpture in the Landscape
based in Cary, North Carolina.
Davis has over forty years experience
in dealing with land design and
aesthetics. His job was to match
artists with the Arts Council and their
artwork with the environment. Pieces
were reviewed by the Arts Council's
Public Art Committee and, since
each sculpture was installed on public
property, the selections also went
before the City of Fayetteville's Public
Art Commission.
In placing the structures downtown,
Mintz said pedestrian traffic and the
context of the area were taken into
consideration. "Like 'Tall Trikaya'
obviously that corner of Green
Street and Rowan had to have a very
significant work of art. If you put the
'Fall Leaves' over there, it would have
been a lost little thing."
Say Hello
Walking (or driving) down Hay
Street you will certainly notice
"Colorful," Jonathan Bowling's tail-

e sculpture, gied by Dr. & Mrs.
Patrick Callahan in celebration of their
wedding anniversary, juggles perception
of what is interior/exterior with positive/
negative space. A roving eye detects
bent bolts, bike gears, horseshoes and a
rusty, red fire extinguisher.
In front of City Hall, "Giraffe" is
a sculpture Fayetteville City Council
member Bobby Hurst mentioned
during the Work in Progress ribbon
cutting ceremony that he's always
tempted to climb when he walks
into work—though he has to restrain
himself since climbing, pulling or
damaging is not allowed. is shiny-
