Tribute to the Arts

Unveiled in 2018, "Tribute to the Arts" is a vibrant public art installation celebrating the Art Center of Burlington's 50th anniversary. The 13-foot-tall commemorative sculpture stands at the intersection of 3rd and Jefferson, a cultural hub near the Capitol Theater and Burlington Public Library. It is a mixed-media project that features four, double-sided aluminum pods stacked in opposite directions atop a giant red painter's brush. Each brightly colored pod showcases a sculptural relief depicting an iconic symbol of a major art form. This eye-catching public monument is a testament to Burlington's flourishing art scene and an excellent example of the commissioned artwork produced by Bennett Studio.
