The Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, Tenn., has commissioned five proposals for public sculptures, two of which will be constructed and placed in Chattanooga's Renaissance Park. St. Petersburg-based artists Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse are among the artists in the running. Click here to vote for their proposed sculpture, Place in the Woods (pictured above), through Mar. 27. Visitors to the museum's website may vote for up to two sculptures, but only one instance of voting from a given computer will be counted. Winners will be announced in April.
