Burkesville Square adds Fish Sculptures & Outdoor Amphitheatre The feature movie will be "Finding Nemo." There will also be a short video by Charlotte Cash and Pat Ritter. A new jewel on the Burkesville Square will be spotlighted Friday night, August 29, 2014. Liza Turner says it will draw attention to the fact that we are a proud river town, and encourage local residents and tourists alike to recognize the importance of, and value in, art and local artists in small, rural communities. Renowned Kentucky artists Pat Ritter and Charlotte Cash collaborated with Gradyville Sculptor David Waltz for the whimsical fish art." Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener Friday night, August 29, 2014, Burkesville, KY, will be celebrating outdoors with commemoration of some whimsical outdoor art, and the introduction of a justice center amphitheater serving an outdoor movie theater. The whimsical art is fish sculpture, the work of Charlotte Cash and Pat Ritter of Burkesville, KY, with the assistance of sculptor David Waltz of Gradyville, KY, who made the casts needed for the fish. The roses are planted, the fish sculptures look awesome, and the Library is hosting the first "Movie on the Square" this Friday night, August 29, 2014, Liza Turner, Cumberland County Public Library, said. "The evening will kick-off with a commemoration of the sculpture project around 7:30pmCT, with Charlotte Cash and Pat Ritter doing a short video about the project. The movie "Finding Nemo," will start around 8pmCT, Turner said. The event will be on the Hill Street Lawn, Cumberland County Judicial Center, 112 Courthouse Square, Burkesville, KY. How the it came about The idea for center was a result of brainstorming when the artists, Cash & Ritter, who are acclaim is statewide, teamed up with Library Director Turner and decided to submit a grant aimed at downtown beautification, tourism promotion, and community development to Tour SEKY, Turner recalls. "Burkesville is a river town," Cash said, "so the idea of fish as a symbol came readily to mind." Making it a whimsical, was an obvious way to appeal to kids; but adults are finding it just as entertaining. The grant proposal included requests for an outdoor theater system, which the library would house, oversee and monitor" Director Turner said. The Cumberland County Public Library is located next door to the Cumberland County Judicial Center. The two institutions share the block frontage of Hill Street, from the Burkesville Square to High Street. A large mural, painted by Charlotte Cash and Pat Ritter is on a wall of the library facing alcove which serves as an amphitheatre, whimsical art and garden display. The objective is both cultural and economic. "It's to encourage people to visit downtown, use our green space in and around the square, patronize downtown businesses, and interact with fellow community members in a fun, family atmosphere," Liza Turner says. "Knockout roses around the old courthouse designed to decrease the time, energy, and resources that have been put into planters over the past few years; and a whimsical sculpture project that would utilize some of the 'wasted' space in the Justice Center courtyard landscaping, draw attention to the fact that we are a proud river town, and encourage local residents and tourists alike to recognize the importance of, and value in, art and local artists in small, rural communities," Liza Turner wrote in the grant application, which was approved by Tour SEKY. They found out in early July that they had been awarded the grant, went to work and met Tour SEKY's implementation guidelines, she said. And the event Friday evening will be what the developers think will be many, many more Downtown Events in Burkesville, KY. This story was posted on 2014-08-26 17:41:07
