WILDLIFE ART in public places

Pines to the People

For three decades, Thomasville Center for the Arts has enriched the creative life of the Red Hills Region through the visual, performing, literary and applied arts.  We believe the arts have the power to transform communities as it can express community values, enhance our environment, reshape landscapes, heighten our awareness, and provoke thought.  When art is placed in public spaces it becomes a form of collective community expression as it reflects how we see the world through the artist’s response to our time and place combined with our own sense of who we are.  

Each year through 2018, Downtown Thomasville Main Street and Thomasville Center for the Arts worked with a private donor to commission a new sculpture from a Wildlife Arts Festival artist.  This project featured animals from our region and were placed in designated location along our sidewalks on Broad Street and Jackson Street.  

We invite you to connect with our community and take a stroll through our downtown with these prominent bronzes that promote the importance of preserving our deep history, rich sporting traditions, and the diverse land that is home to our natural wildlife.
