Anderson Arts Center that begins later this month. I plan to exhibit

I'll let you think about that a bit and tell you about other features to the center. This is an renovated CSX warehouse in downtown Anderson. There are many features that I love about the building. The large open spaces and the interior brick walls. But the engineer in me particularly enjoyed the elevators. It seems these are not what one would expect where there's a floor and something rides up and down on that floor. It's seems to be more of a crane that lift and lowers. Of course the holes in the floor no longer exist, but the framing and lift remain. 
The new way of getting up and down is a set of stairs in the center of the building. Artist John Acorn took drawings made by children and went through thousands of rivets in the treads to recreate the drawings. Replicas of the 19 treads are available for purchase. It's certainly something to smile at as you wander around!
Fish really are a theme at the Anderson Art Center. Why I don't really know, but there was this fish hanging on the wall with this enormous glass eye and copper body. This one is about 2 feet long - and that's not a "fish tale"
If you think that's big, he seems to have a big brother right across the was that was easily 4 feet long. He was hanging across from the stairs so I could get views from multiple sides.
Okay the there are more fish that seem to be from one of those community events where people and businesses sponsor a fish and local artists decorate them to have them displayed around town. These were only about a foot long, so maybe someone decided they would be safer at the center.
