Sculpture art walk

A collection of vibrant art sculptures created by Georgia Southern students are on display along the Willie McTell Trail in Statesboro.

Students enrolled in Casey Schachner’s 3D Art and Design Foundations courses were challenged to use a two-dimensional square piece of steel to create a three-dimensional object.

The sculptures will sit along the trail from Nov. 4 to Nov. 26. However, they are powder-coated to help preserve them for years.

A reception walk will launch the outdoor art exhibit on Nov. 4 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Business Innovation Group (BIG) located at 58 E. Main St., in downtown Statesboro.

Guests can park downtown and take a shuttle to the beginning of the trail. Then, enjoy a stroll along the trail to see each sculpture with the walk ending at BIG.

While strolling, take note of your favorite piece as attendees can purchase their top picks at a virtual silent auction.

A virtual silent auction will run from 5 p.m. on Nov. 4 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 26. All proceeds will go to the Betty Foy Sanders Art Student Travel Fund to support educational travel opportunities.
