MESSAGE FROM
Greg Kemp
Honorary Chair
Art Around the Corner 2010
It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to Art Around the Corner 2010!
Now in its sixth year, St. George’s Art Around the Corner outdoor sculpture exhibit is vibrantly fulfilling its mission of fostering the arts in southern Utah.
This exhibit is unique in our community because it puts exceptional art in the places where we live, play, and work. All those who walk or drive up Main Street, or who visit St. George’s popular Town Square, come face-to-face with art, and not just any art. The quality and diversity of the sculptures we see rivals that of much larger communities. We see here the work of world class artists who uplift, educate, and inspire.
As a business owner in downtown St. George, I have personally come to appreciate not only the beauty of this exhibit, but the effect it has on our city center. Art Around the Corner has played a prominent role in revitalizing the historic heart of our community. It may seem a contradiction that something as permanent and immovable as bronze could bring such life to a community, but it has, and it does. These sculptures express the soul, values, and aspirations of our people, and bring us together in a common appreciation of talent and beauty.
I hope you will take time to stroll through this unique exhibit, and please join Arlynn and me in supporting this exceptional program. It is an investment that will bless our community and stir the imagination of generations to come.
