Harold Rittenberry Jr.

A new outdoor sculpture garden will feature three new creations by renowned local artist Rittenberry, whose towering metal works are immediately recognizable through their bold silhouettes and folkloric imagery. Donated by Dan and Sally Wyche Coenen and the Athens Area Community Foundation, “All,” “Air” and “Love is All” incorporate many of the self-taught artist’s favorite images—symbolic animals like fish and birds, as well as mythological creatures like mermaids and unicorns. LHAC founders Ronnie and Nancy Lukasiewicz will also be commemorated. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception will include words from members of the community, LHAC and local government.
