WAMU's talking about us

Pat Brogan of WAMU (FM 88.5) talked today (May 22, 2008) on NPR's morning show about the Art in the Pages project.

Art in the Pages statues in the news

It is great to see all the statues around Fairfax County & the City of Fairfax! You see them everywhere, even in newspaper articles about the library. The statues are even showing up in articles about library branches here and here.

Do you see the Art in the Pages sculptures in the photos?

Delivery Week

Wow, what a week this has already been! Joan, Paula, Martina and I had such a great experience working with the guys from Southland Concrete and Interstate Worldwide Relocation delivering the bases and the completed Art in the Pages statues to library branches and other display locations. Since each was different (on grass, concrete and bricks; outdoors and inside; rain and shine), each presented it's own challenges.

Tony Griffin, the Fairfax County Executive looked at the trucks and men while placing Verizon's statue at the Government Center and was impressed at the magnitude of the process.

We were all impressed at how extremely well both crews worked together under Mike's leadership to coordinate the statue/base moving, bolting & final placement.

Heartfelt thanks go out to Randy at Southland Concrete and JD from Interstate for providing the transportation, tools & manpower to help complete this first and major round of public art sculpture deliveries. The men were polite, professional & most importantly fun as we tackled the challenge. After 2 1/2 days, we already miss driving the 5 vehicle convoy all around the county to deliver statues & bases with them!
