"Single Twist" at the iHotel
"Single Twist" By Mary Angers (Long Branch, NJ)
If you happen to be strolling through the lovely lobby of the iHotel, you will notice "Single Twist" by Mary Angers. The piece is devoted to the geometry of moving planes and forms.
Thank you to Fox/Atkins Development, LLC for the site sponsorship of this piece.
PAL Launches New Website
The Public Art League would like to thank the Graphic Design Program at Parkland College for selecting PAL as one of their service learning projects for a web design course in fall 2012. From a number of fantastic designs developed by the course's students, the submission from designer Scott Sheltra was selected. Please visit www.publicartleague.org to see our new site! Thank you again to Parkland's Graphic Design Department, its students and to Professor Paul Young for overseeing the project.
