James Avati - Teaching Children Since 1878
63 E Main St, Mesa
A wonderful tribute to those teaching our children, Teaching Children Since 1878 is located in front of the Mesa Public Schools building in Downtown Mesa. Sculptor James Avati has captured beautifully the relationship between teacher and student in this vintage scene. Children will be able to easily relate to this piece, hopefully seeing themselves as one of the children depicted.
Avati is a Utah artist who comes from a family of artists. He is known mostly for his full-size, bronze sculptures, usually commissioned as monuments for significant people or events.
As part of the Downtown Mesa Art Walk, Teaching Children Since 1878 is yet another reason to visit this artistic hot spot.
