I think the quote is "Form Follows Function". I appreciate good design where ever I see it. It is alway a win win situation when artist work with engineers or planners to come up with a stronger design. This is a bike rack in downtown St. Petersburg Florida, a city that is making a commitment to the arts. With the Salvador Dali Museum, Dale Chihuly Museum, Morean Art Center, St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Art, and wonderful galleries and public art, St. Petersburg has highlighted the importance of art in a community. The arts bring in more money to a community that sports do. I know some of you are shaking you head and thinking that can't be, but the statistics are overwhelming. Working in art advocacy it is a fact I know well. So help your community invest in the arts, build a strong community and a stronger financial future at the same time!

It would be so wonderful if more cities thought this way, think of how enlightened our culture could become! It would almost be an evolutionary milepost!
Cassandra you are right, can you imagine how our cities, our schools, our doctors offices, our government buildings could look!
