Sculpture Walk in Downtown Kingsport

The Kingsport Public Art Committee is pleased to present 11 sculptures in downtown Kingsport as part of the Kingsport Public Art Initiatives.  Hank Foreman, curator and director of the Turchin Center for Visual Arts at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC served as curator for this inaugural effort and selected pieces to represent a wide diversity of scale, materials, techniques, and ideas.  (ASU is located approximately 75 miles from Kingsport, TN and 100 miles from Asheville, NC).

 

A virtual tour of the Sculpture Walk is located on the web:  www.KingsportARTS.org/sculptures

 

The Sculptures are located on Main and Broad Streets and create an easily walkable route from the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce to the Kingsport Library. Brochures for self-guided tours are available at businesses and at the Kingsport Convention Visitors Bureau and the Kingsport Library.

 

Every Thursday evening at 6PM during June, volunteers from the Kingsport Public Art Committee will lead tours of the Sculpture Walk.  Tours will leave from the Chamber of Commerce parking lot on Main Street and last approximately one hour.
