During the course of our meeting we briefly brought up the topic of art projects here in Flatrock. Well, it just so happens that TC and the FHF are approaching some grant money for that specific reason and he's asked us to be involved.
These are little "thought nuggets" from the conversation we had:
We spoke briefly about a sign/mural on the 100 Oaks side of the Railroad tunnel/bridge on Thompson Lane...something to let people know they're entering Flatrock. Examples: "Welcome to Flatrock," a diversity mural, a statue of Brenda Lee. It doesn't sound like they're sold on a particular location, a type of art, or its message, so he asked me to poll the SNP-nut gallery.
Things to keep in mind:
- We want it somewhere people will SEE it.
- We want it to look good.
- Altering landscapes to accommodate something like this costs money too.
- Gateway locale, or some sort of central locale?
- This doesn't have to be the only project...maybe we can split resources & hit two places at once, or raise more money again later for another project.
Please take 5 minutes (if that) to fill out this survey so we can be heard, or I'll talk them into putting a 60-foot statue of Lord Voldemort in the middle of Nolensville Rd. & Thompson Ln.
Thanks everybody!
I don't know, a 60 ft statue of Voldemort could be pretty sweet... :)
