A group of 14 Tamaqua Area High School graphic arts students are participating in a county-wide public art movement called “The Nadock Project”, which coincides with Dave Day 2014 in downtown Pottsville.
The Nadock Project was created by the late Dave Naydock, in association with the Walk In Art Center in Schuylkill Haven, in order to create a more public way of showing art in Schuylkill County.
Tamaqua students painted 14 functioning parking meters recently via an in-school field trip. The meters, furnished by the Pottsville Parking Authority, will be unveiled to the public as a permanent display of public art in the city of Pottsville in time for Dave Day on Thursday, May 29, 2014.
Dave Nadock was a mural and studio artist, who was born in Pottsville and raised in the Pittsburgh area. He returned to spend his adult life beautifying the town. His murals can be seen at many locations in Pennsylvania, and his studio work graces walls around the world.
