Tropic Cinema Commemorative Art Wall
Commissioned Sculpture by
Susan Rodgers
As a special feature of
our fund-raising efforts for the Tropic Cinema, we asked internationally
recognized artist (and Film Society member) Susan Rodgers to design a work of
art that could incorporate the names of contributing donors. Susan agreed to do so and to contribute her
work to the Film Society.
Her basic sculpture has
been completed and is hanging in the Tropic Cinema. It consists of a series of 89 half-inch aluminum rods suspended
from a free-hanging metal frame.
Ms. Rodgers will affix the
names of contributing donors to these rods using individual raised aluminum
letters, so that the rods will be free to move and impart dynamism to the
names. The overall effect will evoke a movie “silver screen” with credits
rolling.
This sculpture will
contain only the names of persons contributing specifically to the “Tropic
Cinema Art Wall.” A contribution of $1,000 is required to qualify for inclusion
on the Silver Screen. If you have
already contributed to the Tropic Theater Fund at this level and wish your
contribution to qualify for the Art Wall rather than some other purpose (such
as a seat plaque) please let us know.
We will be happy to include you retroactively.

Wall or learn more about it, contact George Cooper or Ric Pinckney at 294-9382
