CHIPPING away

My son has recently decided to try to break a Guinness World Record, but he can’t figure out which one (he’s 13).  It takes all the self-control to not suggest that he make the world’s largest chocolate chip cookie.  This next call will resort in only a 10 foot circle; I suspect that is far to small for the world’s largest cookie.  Nonetheless, this is a great opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Warrensburg Arts Commission (WAC) for Public Art Design Proposals.  The entry fee is cheap, and unlike many public art calls, this is not limited to sculpture.  Take a closer work…
