Downtown Public Art – Part Two

Posted on November 15, 2021 by Pgibson

As usual, click these photos to see the best perspective!

Celestial Symphony by Jessie Andrews
Is this art? Whatever it is (besides a giant bird balloon!), it is stuck in the narrow alley way that leads from Clinton Avenue into Washington Park. I think the purpose of this, just like the purposeful placement of an upside-down billboard, is perhaps in the ensuing discussion. If that’s the case, then it has fulfilled its purpose here!
Frog Door, by Susie Garrett
Not really artwork, per se, but the Kaffeeklatsch sign signifies one of my most enjoyable shops downtown. Extant far below the frog gargoyles on the Terry-Hutchens building long before most stores returned to Downtown, it is a wonder to watch and smell the coffee being roasted in the huge roaster by the front window!

About Pgibson

I'm from Huntsville, Alabama where I work as a Software Engineer and part-time banjo instructor. My wife Miiko and I worship at Rivertree Downtown. I've been playing various instruments since my teen years. I started mandolin and dulcimer at about age 17 and banjo at 20. I love just about all kinds of music. In terms of banjo styles, I play and teach Scruggs, melodic, clawhammer, and 2-finger styles. I'm also very keen on theology, being a Trail Care Partner with the Land Trust of North Alabama, photography, urban planning, architecture, astronomy, ATM (amateur telescope making), birding, martial arts, and about 30 other distracting hobbies to a (mercifully) lesser extent.
