Tomorrow night at a benefit for Art in Motion, the grassroots organization that builds artistically appealing bustops around town, Dr. Garry Bibbs will speak about creating Lyrical Movement- the 3rd and Elm Street Bus stop project - @ 7:30pm.
You can check out Art In Motion's fundraising blast, Get in Motion for Art in Motion, on Thursday, February 4th at Natasha's Bistro from 5:30-10:30.

Lexington attorney Yvette Hurt, along with UK Professor Scott Diamond and a number of other socially conscious folks have put together a vast organization of architects, builders, UK workers, and artists to build artistically appealing bus shelters, such as BottleStop (made from Ale-8 bottles) and ArtStop (a metal sculpture by Garry Bibbs). If you search my blog and/or aceweekly's archives, you can find out more about this wonderful project. In fact, my first cover story for Ace was about Art in Motion, way back in July of 2007 :) I'm so glad people are sitting up and taking notice of Art in Motion!
