Round Robin Photo Challenge: Public Art

Hi, Robins! I hope you've seen the entry Steven posted last night; if not, just scroll down when you're done here. It is an update of our Welcome entry, with an added FAQ addressing questions we've either answered before or wished someone had asked before doing something else.

This challenge is now closed. Thank you for playing!

Meanwhile, it's time to announce a new Challenge! I've wanted to use this one for a long time, but it always seemed I had some reason to put it off. The topic, Public Art, was suggested by our own Carly this past November. She describes the concept this way:

Public Art.

Every town across America has something artsy about it. Most cities have a public art program, although it may take a little bit of research to find where all the displays are located. My idea is to seek out the artsy side of the towns we live in or near, post the photo or photos and maybe write a short description of the art and the artist. If there is currently no display of Public Art in your area, then show us how your town decorates to invite visitors to your area. Banners, Welcome signs, etc.

Neat, huh? I don't know about your town, but Tucson has lots of public art, large and small, lofty, historic and sometimes just plain eccentric! In fact, I've been amassing photos of this for a while. Now I've got to go back and do the research part, and find out who made the public art, and when and why.

The date of the Challenge will be Saturday, August 23rd. As always, we ask you to RSVP below, and please don't post your entry early! Check the entry below this one for guidelines. Now go be photographers, and we'll see you all in just under two weeks, as we enjoy everyone's displays of Public Art!
