I thought for sure this was a daycare entrance but when I got there, I found a Pediatric Dental practice!

I do struggle with these “art” installations that are clearly commercial. Do they violate the spirit of public ART finder? I’ll leave it to Boomer to decide.

“Art” is in the eye [emoji872] of the beholder … and is meant to provoke feelings and/or thought … so if you were so moved, it must then be art!

*** Black History Month 2X Bonus Pts Opportunity ***

Earn 2X points during February for discovering art works celebrating the contributions of African Americans to US history, culture or other impacts. Sandbagging allowed this week only for any incidental finds dating back to Feb 1st already posted to Strava but please date them accordingly when you post on this thread so that I can track/verify your rides. All other #publicartfinder rules remain in effect.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.
