Bremerton's 'Weaving Notes' sculpture, a bronze and steel masterpiece by Michael Stutz, has been nominated for an international CODAaward. This recognition highlights the art's impact on Quincy Square, a vibrant hub in downtown Bremerton. The sculpture's creation was inspired by Quincy Jones' early years in the city, a pivotal moment in his journey to becoming a renowned musician. The CODAawards, which honor outstanding commissioned art, showcase the diverse talent across the nation. The jury's criteria include the art's integration into the environment, collaboration, and artistic excellence. The People's Choice award, open for public voting, adds an exciting element to the competition. The nomination of 'Weaving Notes' alongside 'Aperture' in Spokane and 'We Belong' in Vancouver underscores the rich artistic landscape of Washington state. These awards not only celebrate the artists' creativity but also the impact of public art on community spaces. As the voting period approaches, the anticipation for the winners' announcement in September builds, marking a significant recognition of artistic excellence and community engagement.
