“Once I felt that I had a good understanding
of their expectations, I began the process of
creating drawings and maquettes (scale models)
for three proposed abstract sculptures of a violin,
saxophone and banjo.” DerGara and Lusk felt
that these instruments best represented the
diversity of music in the Brevard area.
The two completed sculptures on the campus
side of Broad Street are a saxophone titled “Park
Your Charlie” and a violin titled “Partita.” The
largest of the three sculptures will be the banjo,
which is not yet finished, titled “Breakdown
in Steel.” Doctors David and Kathy Gresham
helped with these titles.
Brevard and the BC Campus have a great
respect for the arts and music. When asked
about how the sculptures will benefit the
college and the community Lusk said, “The
intended purpose of these works is to promote
and celebrate our artists and Brevard as an arts
destination. Music and the other creative arts are
an integral part of the BC brand and these works
will only reinforce that brand.”
“Breakdown in Steel” is set to be finished the
first or second week of September.

I encourage you to find your voice and stand
