Clearwater Unveils New Sculptures Along Cleveland Street

CLEARWATER, FL -- Visitors to downtown Clearwater may notice something different along the median of Cleveland Street.

Three new sculptures are now on display as part of the city of Clearwater's Sculpture360 program. The three sculptures represent a heart, a face and a musical note, and they are an expression and message each artist wants to share with visitors to Clearwater.

"Imperfections of the Heart" was created by artist Dominique Martinez. Martinez said it all of those emotions common to humans -- betrayal, happiness, pain, love, sorrow, disloyalty and personal success.

"Gaia" by artist Donald Gialanella shows the artist's fascination with the human face, which can be seen in this monumental stainless steel head named after the ancestral source of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess, Gaia.

"In a Musical Atmosphere" by artist Adi Ben Dov iDEA combines aluminum and four types of glass. The metal represents the stability, security and calmness, which characterize Clearwater's growth in the spheres of family, education, spirit, art and business. The glass represents the city's transparency and brotherhood. The flowing musical notes represent the affinity, respect and space for Clearwater's art and music culture.

In its ninth season, Sculpture360 is a rotating exhibition of temporary artwork and is part of the Clearwater Public Art and Design Program. The exhibition is supported through contributions from the city's Public Art Fund and partnerships with local donors and organizations. Season IX will run through June 2020 and can be seen in the 400 to 600 blocks of Cleveland Street.
