West End Historic Walk by Steven Weitzman
We’re honored to be included a new public art project from the City of Atlanta’s Office of Cultural Affairs: the West End Historic Walk.
Artist Steven Weitzman has conjured up a sidewalk installation that will abut our neighborhood’s glorious majestic existent Mall West End. 14 colored cement panels surrounded by specialty pavers will depict the history of our neighborhood.
The Wren’s Nest is featured in one of the panels, above. In front of the house, children are playing jump rope with Brer Rabbit.
Esther LaRose Harris, wife of Joel, is featured in the one about St. Anthony’s.
Esther was instrumental in founding St. Anthony’s in 1903, and Joel Chandler Harris actually bought the land for the church. Read up on the history of St. Anthony’s here.
The colored cement, called FOTERA, is several inches deep, so no matter how hard you try to chip it, the image won’t be altered. Nice try, suckas.
Take a look at Weitzman’s previous work with FOTERA.
