These are wonderful! I saw some of them downtown yesterday & it was a nice surprise. I can’t wait to show my kids. What a nice thing to have in our town..I only wish they were permanent!
Will there be some kind of map showing where all the pieces are located?
We drove through downtown last night to run an errand and thought they were kinda fun!
I saw some of these on TV during a program… can’t remember what it was, but it was by chance. Also at the Vegas airport. It would be nice to know how many pieces in total and a map where they are all located…
I saw people taking pictures with them and posing, a fun distraction!
the sculptures are great! my husband and i were going to Emilio’s for lunch. we saw the first statue, a fisherman, by the creek. next, we’re staring at a lady posing with a camera taking a picture of the Pleasanton Hotel in front of the Cheese Factory. we’re like, she looks so real! and then she moved. opps! 🙂
Just another example of a white elitist comunity displaying a series of statues that NOT ONE depicts a person of color. Be sides, they creep me out!
B happy u live where u live. My goodness- Pleasanton was so nice 20 yrs. ago and then all these yuppies moved in and changed Pleasanton, move back from where ever you came from, get that high paying job somewhere else and leave our town alone,I’ve lived here since 1962 and ever since they came in to our town life in Pleasanton has changed–
The sculptures are fun and brought a smile to people’s faces. Too bad they aren’t permanent. It would be nice to commission some pieces with art students at the high schools to depict Pleasanton residents out and about.
Andy G needs to see the sculpture of the soldier coming home and being greeted – across the street from Tully’s I think.
Thank you to the people responsible for bringing in this exhibit.
The sculptures are amazing! It is fun to drive or walk down the street and look for another beautiful sculpture. They are so life like…every feature is so well done. The textures (hair, clothing, shoes, etc.) are amazingly realistic. Thanks to all who brought the exhibit to Pleasanton for our enjoyment.
My husband and I enjoyed walking along Main this morning to view the visiting sculptures. I thought I could wait knowing they’re here for three months, but my curiosity was too great. Actually it was an exciting experience and a good one in the name of “art”. It may not be incredible art but it is a type of art. It’s good to see Pleasanton taking the step up to bringing public art to Main. It’s wonderful to have something like this that is light and “fun” these days as there is so much heavy political “stuff” crowding our minds. Nice job Pleasanton!
I think the decision for Pleasanton to rent the statues is wasteful, even if the budget was earmarked before the economic downturn. We are struggling to keep our schools intact, and this decision should have been rethought. $18,000…really? I can think of so many other things that should take priority right now! What a slap in the face of our Pleasanton teachers and community workers that are being cut. Bummer for the bad decision!
The ART is GREAT! This weekend you could watch the People interact with them – sit or stand have pictures taken with, people were looking at them having a fun time; in Our Beautiful Downtown the Heart of Pleasanton. As I drove up Main Street there were so many people some standing or sitting, you had to take a double look to see if they weren’t a statue. Cheers Gary Schwaegerle
