This sculpture on Miller Plaza, called Arriving Home is intended to “mimic the circular rhythms of traveling.”
Two more sculptures I happened upon in Chattanooga. The first was along Market Street.
And this friendly dog was at the south end of the Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge. The piece is titled High Four.
I crossed the Tennessee River on the Walnut Street Bridge and looked for a way to get down to Coolidge Park. I happened upon a narrow pedestrian alley between Frazier Avenue and River Street and discovered these (and several other) cartoon characters painted on the bricks.
This statue of William Shakespeare stands outside the Chattanooga Theatre Centre.
This statue in Coolidge Park, titled Blue Boy Pull Toy #1 sits in Coolidge Park along the Tennessee River. It cost the city of Chattanooga $32,500.
I wandered along the river and explored the trails in Renaissance Park. An exercise group was doing push-ups and running up and down a small hill. An artist was painting the skyline of Chattanooga on a large canvas propped on an easel. And there was this giant head made of bits of bark, titled Exhaling Dissolution.
There was a small sculpture garden outside the Hunter Museum of American Art just south of the river in Chattanooga. I wandered about for a couple minutes. This sculpture is called Weather Watcher.
And this one is called Full Count.
Glass Bridge crosses over Riverfront Parkway in front of the museum.
A statue of a Cherokee stands along the river outside the Tennessee Aquarium, celebrating the history of the region.
These two statues stand near each other on the corner of Carter Street and MLK Boulevard in Chattanooga. They had the same texture, which made them look like they were created by the same artist, but there was no explanatory plaque and I could find nothing online to help me understand if they are somehow connected. I thought the Band-Aid somebody stuck on the guy’s forehead was a nice touch.
