Bravegirl: the Poydras Corridor Sculpture Exhibition

Monday April 24th, 2017
International Sculpture Day

Bravegirl by Tara Conley is being added to the largest rotating collection of public sculpture in the South, the Poydras Corridor Sculpture Exhibition presented by the Helis Foundation.

 

A unique example of a public-private partnership, Sculpture for New Orleans, The Helis Foundation, the Odgen Museum of Sourthern Art, and The City of New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways work together to bring interesting and inspiring sculpture to the citizens of and visitors to New Orleans.

“Bravegirl is an inspiration. She is your sister, mother, wife, your daughter, granddaughter, best friend or perhaps, you. Bravegirl decides and doesn’t look back. She is warm, even on difficult days, stands tall for small voices, faces challenges with strength and fortitude, and she is the City of New Orleans.”
-Tara Conley, Artist
