Wolves are invading Carrollton.
No need to panic. The wolves in question are statues being painted by local artists as part of Howl for UWG, a fundraiser benefitting the University of West Georgia’s annual fund campaign. University representatives Clint Samples and Bill Norris spoke to our club about the project last week.
Howl for UWG, an exciting new project that offers a unique opportunity for artists, business owners and community members to engage with UWG. Through the creative expression of our artists and the desire of donors to serve humanity, donors can assist with scholarships to help students achieve.
With creative designs from regional artists and donations from sponsors, more than 20 life-size, fiberglass-howling wolves will roam the UWG campus and community the fall semester of 2012.
Inspired by the popular Cows on Parade public art project, Howl for UWG seeks designs that celebrate the bond between the community and the University of West Georgia. Proceeds will benefit scholarship aid for the university’s annual fund campaign. A portion of the proceeds will be dedicated to providing scholarships for art majors.
Howl for UWG bridges art, academics and athletics using UWG’s wolf mascot and wolf pack as a metaphor for community.
