Public Art in Berkley

We have some wonderful examples of public art in our fair city.  A promenade was introduced on Coolidge near the high school last year.  There is seating and plantings that are now becoming more prominent and some artworks displayed. Not sure of the artists but maybe expanded versions of student pieces. This is a nice addition to the many murals on our buildings.  

There is a home owner on Mortensen at the end of Franklin that makes large items from natural materials. Many are seasonal and quite entertaining for the passerby.

This is an example of his latest creation.  I get a charge out of walking Harry past his house.  There's always something new weather for spring, halloween or Christmas.

Finally there's a guy in the neighborhood that makes the structures for Little Free Libraries that are place on front lawns and in parks.  These little bookshelves hiding in houses are a treasure trove of reading material for all ages and interests.  

Along with that he makes wood sculptures for his grand kids.  This is an example of a little girl kissing her kitty.

Thats it for today, nothing major.

all for now

stay safe
