ABOUT THE PUBLIC ART PROGRAM IN DOWNTOWN BOONE The Downtown Boone Development Association’s Public Art Program (DBDA) collaborated with Rosen Sculpture Program, Watauga County Arts Council, and the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts to provide additional public art for downtown Boone through the selection of three Community Choice Awards. This year’s award winners are located in Downtown Boone locations including Melanie’s Food Fantasy Restaurant, the Watauga County Arts Council (Jones House) and the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. “This partnership reinforces Appalachian and the Town of Boone’s involvement in and dedication to western North Carolina’s growing arts community. The Rosen Sculpture Program is a well-established program that has proven its effectiveness through its outstanding staff, the program’s popularity as part of An Appalachian Summer Festival and the talented artists who participate in the annual competition.” Mary Ella Baker DBDA’s Public Art Program Director The Downtown Boone Development Association The mission of the Downtown Boone Development Association (DBDA) is to improve the central business district of Boone by encouraging property owners to maintain, improve and beautify downtown properties; improving walkways and pedestrian crosswalks; providing more cultural and civic events downtown; promoting “smart commercial development”; encouraging transportation and parking improvements; and encouraging greater involvement of all property owners, professionals, nonprofit groups or agencies and merchants in district. The DBDA funding comes from three sources; taxation, membership dues and private funding. The Watauga County Arts Council Since the late 1980’s the Arts Council has displayed a new piece of outdoor sculpture each year on the pad located on the front lawn of the Jones House Community Center. This annual program is designed to give regional sculptors an opportunity to display a large-scale work in a local setting and to create an atmosphere and opportunity for area artists to show their work celebrating and sharing their diverse visions and talent with friends, neighbors and visitors to our area. By providing a place to exhibit, the Arts Council hopes to encourage and develop existing and potential arts activity in the community. The Watauga County Arts Council sponsors this program in keeping with its mission which is “to sponsor and encourage cultural and educational activities in the creative and performing arts in Watauga County and its surrounding areas.” In 1999 the Arts Council’s Board of Directors agreed to rename these annual sculpture exhibitions in memory of a local sculptor, Sherry Ann Edwards, who had made significant contributions to the advancement of sculpture in the region and even nationally. 24 Wayne Trapp Skywalk Powder coated steel 16’ x 11’ x 9’ Gift of the Artist to the Town of Boone, 2008 This sculpture was first seen in Boone during the 21st Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition & Exhibition (2007-2008).

SITE 11 Julia Stout Black Mountain, NC Circa Cinq of Sacred Geometry Series Powdercoated, faux finished, welded steel 2008 Variable Sizes Artist Statement Art reflects my life experiences: the sum total of all that I am at a particular moment. The development of the Sacred Geometry Series evolved as I have studied Yoga and the geometry of the elements. I began with the elements of earth. A cube is the geometry of salt and the most fundamental earth element and the circle is the geometry of water. This piece depicts five circles to represent the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether/void. The circular elements were designed to spin to physically illustrate how each vortex/chakra/ element in our bodies can spin or get caught in stillness at any given time. The earth is our structural alignment or connection with self and others. The water is our creativity, our passion, and our sexuality - how we flow in life. The colors and the knowledge of the sacred geometry evolved from the studies of many of my yogic textbooks on each elemental vortex. The final three elements of the series-fire, air, and ether - will continue to develop as the series evolves. Website: www.giuilia.com 25
