Get Ready for Arts Aflutter!

Arts Aflutter is a public art extravaganza organized by the Carnegie Visual Arts Center that will showcase more than 50, 4 ft. metal butterfly sculptures, painted and decorated by commissioned artists, throughout historic downtown Decatur, Alabama in the spring and summer of 2009. Artists will be asked to draw on the cultural influences and history of Decatur to inspire their whimsical designs, thereby creating butterflies that come to life. The event will be funded through individual and corporate sponsorships that allow a broad cross-section of the Decatur community to contribute. Profits from Arts Aflutter will benefit the Carnegie Visual Arts Center and the Decatur Public Art Committee.

The "Oh the Place You Will Go" butterfly is on the move once again! "Oh the Places You Will Go" disappeared from its landing site for a second time recently. We feel certain the artist and sponsors of this butterfly didn't mean for the name to be taken quite so literally - so please, if you have any information about our missing butterfly - call Laura at 341-0562 .Click here to see a picture of the missing butterfly.

 

We'd like your help in choosing the "People's Choice Award".  Look through the Butterfly Gallery and vote for your favorites.  You can vote for them on a scale of 1 - 5.  The Decatur Art Guild is sponsoring a monetary award to the artist who has created the public's favorite butterfly in Arts Aflutter.
