Happy New Year, everyone!
Here at the corporate offices of SMP we had a staff meeting last week, and we managed to get a little work done, once a winner had been determined in the trash-can H-O-R-S-E game, that is. (We do have priorities, after all, and between election cycles we take our trash-can basketball seriously!)
Today is our first installment of a new weekly feature we are calling Friday Public Art Blogging. Contrary to the so-called conventional wisdom of the coasts, we do have access to and appreciation for the finer things in life.
Each week, we will be featuring an original photo of a different piece of public art installed somewhere in the state of Missouri.
So without further ado, here is our first offering.

It’s an appropriately titled piece for the beginning of the year, and the beginning of a new administration.
Were the first thing I noticed. The detail of this piece is just amazing. And the title was just so appropriate…
Or are those shorts? I like her shoes too. And I like her hair. She sorta looks like she’s sitting in the middle of nowhere. Is she on the beaten path or off the beaten path?
I’m a great believer in public art – although I’m also a believer that just because the public pays for a piece of art and installs it in one location doesn’t mean the public can’t change it’s mind and uninstall it. Yes, I mean The Serra Sculpture in St. Louis.
