Family Revolution PDF Print E-mail

0ylM0sThe Urban League of Greater Chattanooga is participating in “Art in the Neighborhoods”, a matching grant initiative funded by the Lyndhurst Foundation and administered through the City of Chattanooga’s Public Art Program. The program is designed to assist community groups with generating unique public art projects in neighborhoods in each of our city’s 9 council districts. The Urban League selected a stainless steel sculpture created by Kentucky artist Garry Bibbs.

The sculpture is twenty feet tall and has been installed outside of the Urban League on ML King Boulevard

The sculpture is called “Family Revolution” and celebrates the new found pride seen in the ML King neighborhood. The sculpture was dedicated on September 10. with a celebration involving community members, arts advocates, Urban League staff and young professionals association members.

“Family Revolution” will be on view through December 2010, with the Urban League accepting donations to purchase the piece. Donate here. Be sure to put "Family Revolution" in the comments section. The Urban League is a non-profit organization and all funds for this project will go toward the purchase of art.     

This project is part of Public Art Chattanooga which is managed by the City’s Department of Parks and Recreation.  For more information about Public Art Chattanooga, call Chattanooga Parks and Recreation | 643-6886. Visit the website of Public Art Chattanooga.
