Good Fences are Art Fences

Franklin County Arts Guild created a fence to both secure the lot adjacent to its new gallery and to serve as piece of public art in a planned sculpture garden. Planting and maintenance of the garden for public use was achieved through a partnership with the Franklin County Garden Club, and the Guild has used the space to display sculptures created by members of its community.

Black metal garden sculptures of varying heights and shapes stand on a mulched area next to a sidewalk, with a small tree and worn white wall in the background.

A concrete sidewalk curves past a brick wall and a building with a metal awning. Ornamental black metal structures and evergreen trees line the landscaped area beside the walkway.
