Five new public artworks, inspired by the work of Alexander Calder, were installed throughout downtown Waterbury on May 24. The dedication was held yesterday, beginning with a reception for the artists at John Bale Books. I wasn't able to attend, but since I work downtown, I get to enjoy the new art regularly.
We had our first look at the artwork last year during an
open studio on Freight Street. Since then, the sculptures have been getting their finishing touches (and color) at White Welding.
They lend themselves to interesting photography, and they add a modern flair to downtown.
