Ice Sculpture

I cut through The Green today on the way back to my dorm and came across this beautiful Valentines ice sculpture on the lawn. It's always a nice surprise to stumble across public art of such high quality.

A quote from the New Haven Bulletin: "This weekend and next sculptors will transform 300 pounds of block ice (donated by Elm City Ice) into temporary public art throughout downtown New Haven. The sculptures will remain in place through February at the following locations: The Green, Broadway Island, Temple Street Garage, The Shubert Theater, and Temple Plaza."

Obama Art

Arts Council friend Katro Storm traveled to Washington, D.C. on inauguration day to "document history." Armed with a video and digital camera, and without any particular agenda, he came across the Manifest Hope: DC Gallery in Georgetown.

Check out some of the work Katro and others saw over the course of this two-day exhibit.
