Chattanooga is blessed with an active arts community. A brief walk around almost any part of the city will bring you to a random piece of art. Sometimes the art is surprising. Always it is striking.
One of my favorites is Full Count by John Dreyfuss. Completed in 1990. For a long time the sculpture was in the Aquarium complex. It is now moved to the Hunter Museum Sculpture Garden.

Richard, I love seeing these statues. I have noticed Clarksville is becoming a prettier city too. I really enjoy riding around my community seeing all the pride the city and business take in our city. I know you feel the same way about Chattanooga. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Hi Richard, Thank you for sharing that. I had never seen that sculpture before but I can certainly understand why you like so much. Wonderful!
Jimmy and William,
Public art makes a great contribution to city beautification. It is not something that I would have thought of. Chattanooga is full of statues. It is a part of someone's plan.
It had been placed around the Aquarium, but was moved. I just found it again last week.
