It's only fitting that this sculpture that spans two blocks would have a really long name!

Joe Slack and his assistant spent 1,800 hours creating this two-block long art project that is part of celebrating OKC Beautiful's 50 year anniversary. The majority of the piece is about 5-6 feet high, but some sections are only 2 feet high. A row of birds (birdwatching) are on the north and south sides, with a very long representation of people dancing at the center. The art piece is mostly blue/green, with yellow representations of lightning and thunder all around the dancers. The figures are in so many different positions as they happily dance along the wall.
Although the project is 99% on the west side of the Classen divider (viewed by southbound traffic), there are a few pieces on the east side, at the 7th and 9th street ends).
