    DISCOVERY DISCOVERY
    Artist: Harold Balazs
    Location: Courtyard
    Catalog # n/a
    Notes: Lewis & Clark has added to its art collection once again with a fantastic stainless steel sculpture in the courtyard. This piece was a result of the Washington State Arts Commission program called Art in Public Places. The program requires that when there is new construction (our remodel) that a percentage of the cost goes to buying art. Harold worked with LC students, parents and staff in developing ideas for the piece. He decided to do "Discovery" since High School is a time of discovery. The piece represents a canoe and a journey; much like that which Lewis & Clark did 200 years ago, this being the celebration year of their journey. The sculpture was placed where it is to signify a sort of "passing through" of the campus or life.

    LC quilt Lewis & Clark Quilt
    Artist: Darcel Obermiller
    Location: North entrance to Field House
    Catalog # n/a
    Notes: This is an original design by Darcel Obermiller to commemorate the Class of 2002. It depicts the old and new school prior to the remodel completion and includes pictures of students on the steps and around the school. She used an old photo for the old school and the architects rendering from the news paper to create the design. This piece includes piecing, appliqué and both hand and machine quilting. She had six children attend LC and having one of them graduating in the class of 2002, Darcel Obermiller started planning the design as soon as the remodel was published in the Spokesman Review. This quilt took over a year and a half to complete. It is an American treasure done by an award-winning quilter.

     

    tiger The Maharaja's Tiger
    Location: LC Field House Grand Staircase
    Catalog # n/a
    Notes: On April 27, 2007, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane Washington hosted the “Carousel on Parade” auction and gala. The line up consisted of 26 fiberglass carousel animals, which included fourteen ponies, five tigers and eight giraffes. The carousel animals were displayed around various locations throughout Spokane since September 2006. Twenty-two local artists from the surrounding Spokane area painted these one of a kind pieces of art. A group of LC parents combined resources to bid and win this one of a kind piece of art for LC. The Maharaja's Tiger: This was the most favored of pets owned by the Maharajah. So pampered and secure in the affections of the great leader, he allowed only the most beloved children, of the most favored wives, a ride.
