Sculpture for The Art of Running Public Art Project

	Winged Foot for The Art of Running by Michael Alfano Michael designed and sculpted a winged foot in clay for the public art project "The Art of Running" that kicked off in April 2010 and continues through the present. Resin castings of the foot are made, and selected artists paint or otherwise adorn a foot with an original interpretation related to the theme, "The Art of Running." In 2010, two feet were painted and on view in Hopkinton and Boston the weekend of April 16. The intention is to have be 26 feet completed over the course of the project. The project benefits from the generous support of the Hopkinton Athletic Association. Proceeds benefit the Hopkinton Cultural Arts Alliance.
