Greensboro and Guilford College have been graced with a Patrick Dougherty instillation. Dougherty combines his love of nature with carpentry skills to create organic sculptures with sticks. Dougherty, whose home base is Chapel Hill, NC,  has been making these structures worldwide since about 1980. To date, he has made over 200. The one at Guilford College, constructed of locally-harvested saplings, is reminiscent of England’s Stonhenge. It is twenty feet tall, round, maze-like and inviting to walk through. Stickhenge (our title) is installed in the very spot where the community enjoys MUSEP/Eastern Music Festival concerts on Sundays in the summer (see here).

Today is the first of the month which means theme day for the 1,500-ish City Daily Photo sites. The theme for March is “your favorite part of town.” At Greensboro Daily Photo, we don’t have a FAVORITE part of town, per se. Our favorite part of town changes based on what is happening and what we uncover. For March, we’re picking Guilford College. This is such a dynamic campus that provides a quality education in a surrounding of old oak trees, brick buildings, great music and breathtaking art. Great thinking and creativity abound at Guilford College!
