Black and White Chicken - Annapolis, MD - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

In October 2012, the first two figurative chicken sculptures were placed along West Street in downtown Annapolis, MD. (See waymark links below) By April 2013, at least three more new figurative public sculptures of chicken-themed art have been added along West Street. The chicken art featured in this waymark was created by Sally Wern Comport and is given the title of Black and White Chicken for sake of entering it as a waymark. It stands just over 5 feet tall next to the street's curb in front of 214 West Street, near the intersection of West Street and Madison Place/Southgate Ave.

This chicken sculpture is striped with white bands of photos or drawings, alternated by black banding of dark photos or reverse image drawings, all of things related to Annapolis or of popular culture.

Sally Wern Comport is the local area artist who created the Black and White Chicken. She applied for and won a grant from the City of Annapolis Art in Public Places Committee (AIPPC). The AIPPC manages this Hatching the Arts in Annapolis project. The Arts Council of Anne Arundel County also gives supports to the chicken art project. Except with Sally Wern Comport's chicken, she encouraged her studio assistant artists at the Shannon Associates LLC to contribute to the design. Comport has advanced degrees in art and is gaining national recognition for her works in major US cities.

The current chickens of the Hatch the Arts in Annapolis are all located along West Street between Westgate Circle and Church Circle. All are visible from the street.
