The Lotus Blossom Bunny for Year of the Rabbit, Cleveland, Ohio




May 11, 2011 - Cleveland Councilmen Jeff Johnson and T.J. Dow and Anna Arnold with her "Lotus Blossom Bunny" at the unveiling of The Year of the Rabbit sculptures at Convivium 33 Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio. Councilmen Johnson and Dow (along with Joe Cimperman) sponsored Anna's "The Lotus Blossom Bunny for the St. Clair Superior Development Corporation's "Year of the Rabbit" 6th annual public art project celebrating the Chinese lunar year. Anna's rabbit will be displayed on the main stairway at City Hall on Lakeside Ave. throughout the summer in Cleveland.

"This was quite an active day that began in the morning with more work on Angelica Pozo's "St. Luke's Board Up" project and then ended with the Year of the Rabbit" unveiling at Convivium 33 Gallery. It was really exciting to meet Councilmen Jeff Johnson and T.J. Dow, who sponsored my rabbit along with Councilman Joe Cimperman, and have my photo taken with them and the finished sculpture. I am happy to report that they are both pleased with my work and I can't wait for Mr. Cimperman to see it! I saw some pretty amazing rabbit sculptures in this exhibit and I know the public is going to love seeing them all over Cleveland's St. Clair/Superior district."
