Life Size Art Figure to be Unveiled!
Friday July 6 & Saturday July 7, 2007
Boilermaker Health & Fitness Expo
The first two in a series of
art figures symbolizing the spirit of our regional community will be unveiled
Friday and Saturday July 6 and 7. The life size forms will be unveiled during
the 30th Boilermaker Health & Fitness Expo at the Masonic Home
Campus on Bleeker Street
in East Utica.
The figures depict two
runners, one man and one woman. During the Boilermaker they be placed along the
race route to allow the community to see them with the “real” runners passing
by.
The Global Runner designed by
Daniel Buckingham is sponsored by Earle Reed. The Regional Runner designed by
David “RC” Oster is co-sponsored by CLT Architects & Poncell Construction
Inc.
“It is amazing to actually
see the runners almost complete. Less than a year ago, this was all just a
vision an idea in our head” said Kelly Pawloski one of the Art on the Run team
members.
The two cast figures were
produced by CowPainters Inc. They have helped communities nation wide adopted
the forms of animals to strengthen their identity through art. The Art on the
Run Project will be the first to use a runner form tying together the arts,
health and fitness, and the support of our local businesses and communities Next
year the Art on the Run team will expand the series of figures that would be
placed throughout the region with sponsorship from local businesses and
individuals. Providing an opportunity for artist to paint and decorate the
forms. The runners will be displayed throughout our region to strength our
community identity.
