I’ve noticed driving downtown that recently several new sculptures have appeared throughout the downtown area. I drive Vine Street every day, and just recently noticed several works of modern art including one that appears to look like lips on the Triangle Park side of Rupp and a big tuning fork shaped object in front of the Financial Center and several others down the street towards the future site of Centrepointe. Did I miss something? Was this a city project? I think it’s great, but I didn’t remember hearing anything about it.

The sculptures are part of an exhibit, “Balancing Act,” which originated with the Mid-South Sculpture Symposium.  The symposium was held Oct. 31 through Nov. 1, but exhibits are on display throughout  2009. The Herald-Leader reported about this exhibit in October.
