Sculpture – Public

Henry by Doug MakemsonPUBLIC ART at its BEST

The Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission has installed an unusual “greeter” at the Homestead Road community pool. Henry the dog is a whimsical, interesting and structurally curious assemblage of old metal crafted by Georgia artist Doug Makemson. Henry graciously welcomes pool attendees each day, rain or shine. Kudos go to the Art Selection Committee for finding a sculpture that happily welcomes all ages to this town facility.

  • I love this guy! Such a fun and perfect sculpture for the location! He makes me happy everytime I see him.
