How is this art specifically seen in the community?
This art resides in beautiful Angel Run Park–located within the Perry Hall community. Nestled right between the Perry Hall library and a multitude of active housing developments, Angel Run comes equipped with a children’s playground, as well as a rec field just across the street. The art seen at Angel Run can be enjoyed by everybody–children and their parents enjoying the playground, and even patrons of the library looking to find their next great read. It is a welcome treat to any individual enjoying the summer sunshine–walking their dog, or breaking a sweat on a run.
How do you think the art has made meaning in the community?
The art situated at Angel Run radiates positivity–just as the name of the park would suggest. By the entrance to the park and near the playground sits the butterfly themed statue. As Perry Hall is a young and thriving community, and the park is most often frequented by children and their parents looking to make use of the playground, I feel that the butterfly motif represents the hope and freedom of youth; a true representation of the children who light the way for the future. In that regard, Angel Park represents a breath of fresh air to all for visit the park. It has become the de-facto location for events within the community, which include performing arts, such as dances and music, as well as the yearly Angel Park Run–a 5k that is open to the entire community. To the members of Perry Hall, Angel Run park represents the place where we all come together to enjoy our neighbors, as well as the people we cherish the most. It is truly the heart, and the soul, of the Perry Hall community.
