The West End Arts Council recently sponsored a public arts event in Four Corners Park for all neighborhood residents’ participation. For three consecutive Saturdays, teams of artists, students and neighborhood volunteers labored to create six plywood sculptures, which are being installed as we go to press at the Four Corners Playground.
The artwork produced on Saturday, November 3 included a llama by neighborhood artist/resident Patricia Chavez, currently an art teacher with the Ladue schools and a mixed-media leaf designed by artist Chuck Schwall, an artist on the faculty at the St. Michaels School.
On Saturday, November tenth, neighborhood resident and artist Sheri SpeedGray and her team produced a large and playful squirrel, while Andy Cross, also an artist and resident in Skinker DeBaliviere, led a team to produce a popular and timely American Eagle, complete with a patriotic shield and legend.
On Saturday, November 17, volunteers gathered for the third session under the leadership of Sarah Lindquist, Muny scenic artist, to produce a series of winter creatures, and Ute Levi, neighborhood resident and artist, who led her team to produce a very dramatic dragon.
The committee working on this project included Andy and Linda Cross, Shelley and Jon Parker, Michelle Pike, Katrina Stierholz and Mark Banaczek.
The project was produced in the community with help from a Regional Arts Commission grant and was designed to engage neighborhood residents in producing temporary sculptures for installation within our community.
