Happening tomorrow!
Harrelson Center Statue Dedication
|
|
The Harrelson Center will be dedicating its sculpture, Hope, on Thursday, Feb. 24 at 4:30 p.m. This 2,500 lb steel sculpture was installed at the corner of Market and Fourth streets in October. The eight-foot-high rendering of the Harrelson Center’s logo was donated to the campus by Kyle McIntyre to honor his friends, Bobby and the late Jo Ann Carter Harrelson. Bobby Harrelson made the initial investment in the nonprofit campus, naming it in memory of his wife, Jo Ann.
The event formally dedicates the sculpture, a stylized dove, as a beacon of hope to those in the community who seek the support and resources offered at The Harrelson Center. Thirty-six humanitarian nonprofits are currently partnered with The Harrelson Center, with 21 located on campus.
A reception and art show and sale with artist Bob Timberlake will immediately follow the dedication at Plaza on Princess, the new event venue on the Harrelson Center’s campus. This art show will remain open on Friday as part of the Arts Council’s monthly Fourth Friday gallery walk.
