ARTblocks
your neighborhood, your art
ARTblocks was the recipient of a 2010 Art in Communities Grant by the Maryland State Arts Council to help a Park Heights neighborhood beautify a large chain link fence at St. John’s Church on the corner of Pimlico Road & Cold Spring Lane. Youth from the Pimlico Road Youth Program chose the theme, “Double Dutch”, and drew pictures of children jumping rope. Local sculptor, Stewart Watson, translated their drawings into cutout steel figures, which were painted by youth from
PRYP and St. John’s Church and then bolted to the fence. On July 25, 2010, the installation was blessed by Pastor Gregg Knepp and the congregation of St. John’s Church. Please stop by and see this wonderful installation!
