Glover Park

Charles Glover Sculpture in a Call box which becomes the frame of the relief

Last Saturday I was on my way back from my Batala rehearsal and I stopped in the Glover Park area to walk around the Arts on Call there. Underneath is a quick map that can be found on their neighborhood association's website. All of the boxes are painted dark green with gold highlights. I noticed that many of the "theme" colors for the project include a main color and a highlight, however the original call boxes were designed to only have one color (blue for the police boxes and red for the fire fighter boxes). It is interesting and it speaks to the natural human instinct of spirit of emulation.

One of the boxes in glover park represents a map of the neighborhood's important building. This underscores the similarities between the way these boxes are used and the informative panels around the city.

The site underlines a very important point: "note how many times you have walked right by them without even knowing they were there. We would like that to change."

I wonder if that really changed. Perhaps in the future I could work on an interview/survey to figure out if something did change in people's awareness.
