The ongoing Free Range Art Project, a partnership between Vision 2030 and the North Georgia Community Foundation, will have an exhibit at the Lake Lanier Olympic Center during the Pan American Championships starting Thursday.
The project promotes art within the community through the creation of large scale (8’x8’) works of art installed in public places in Gainesville and Hall County.
The 2016 Free Range Art selections have just been announced for the following artists:
· Paul Dunlap “Two Llamas” photograph
· Fox Gradin “Real Life Dogs Playing Poker” photograph
· Roxanne Hollosi “Echoes VI” mixed media collage
· Mary Frances Hull “Snail Giant” painting
· The Youth Art Month “Quinlan Award” Winner Trevor Ballard, “Peace” acrylic on canvas, 12th Grade, Riverside Military Academy.
The new selections will be placed temporarily at the Lake Lanier Olympic Park for the 2016 Pan American Championships this May (with the youth entry “Peace” to be housed there permanently). The park will serve as host site for the championships which are the Continental Olympic Qualifier for the Americas for the upcoming Olympics in Rio. The works will then be placed permanent yet-to-be-determined sites in the area.
