Paving detail - public art example




"As part of the city’s revitalization of the retail portion of Broadway in 1982, eight sets of inlaid bronze shoe prints were designed by artist Jack Mackie and cast by Chuck Greening. They can be found in the middle of the sidewalks on Broadway. Each is about twelve square feet and is arranged to show how to do various dance steps including the tango, waltz, lindy, foxtrot weave, rumba and mambo and two other moves created by the artist himself, Busstop and Obeebo. It is not unusual to see people trying out the dance steps themselves right there in the middle of the street."
