Ann Needs You
Ann Dancing is located on the Cultural Trail at the intersection of Massachusetts Ave, Alabama and Vermont Streets, one of the most vibrant and busy intersections on the Trail. Ann has an impact on those who walk, ride, or drive by her everyday, and she also impacts our entire community. Ann Dancing is a shining example of how accessible and engaging public art can build community, create engaging public spaces and improve quality of life.
Ann is an electronic sculpture and the technology to keep her dancing has changed and improved significantly in the past decade. Ann’s technology has not been updated in over ten years. Imagine if you didn’t upgrade your iPhone for ten years. Not only has the technology to keep Ann Dancing improved, but the units on which she is displayed have improved significantly as well.
