Celebrating A New Era: The Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts

This artwork, created in 2010, marks the progression of the Sawtooth Center for Visual Arts. By researching the history of the organization from its early founding years as the Arts and Crafts Association through the evolution into the Milton Center for the Arts, I focused on demonstrating the historical time line of the organization through the buildings it has inhabited in Winston-Salem to its newly renovated structure. Further, by capitalizing on the historic sawtooth-like roof line, I created a new cityscape that culminates in the rising sun - which is also the new Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts logo. This artwork is meant to celebrate the past, present, and future!

I partnered with Sherri Nielson, Executive Director of the Milton Rhodes Center of the Arts to better understand the history of the organization! Our collaborative efforts are part of the auction process for the Arts-Based Elementary School in Winston-Salem. This artwork is being donated to the Arts-Based Elementary School annual auction.
