Rise Up Atlanta

Rise Up Atlanta, currently installed in Freedom Park. Riding my bike by there today, I stopped and talked to the artist, Charlie Brouwer. Atlantans loaned him nearly 200 ladders to build the piece, which is held together by industrial zip-ties. Folding ladders, extension ladders, step stools in every size, color, and function come together in unique variety. A favorite of mine (not clearly visible in the photos) is an American flag-patterned folding ladder near the top of the structure. Mr. Brouwer is able to climb the core of the structure to add more ladders. Get there and check it out!
