Sculptures by Greensboro artist Scott Harris will be on permanent display at the $65 million Tanger Outlet Center that opened in Mebane.
Tanger officials commissioned Harris to create an aluminum lighthouse sculpture that rises 17 feet in front of the Gap Outlet. Harris also created a handcrafted aluminum sculpture near the Coach Factory outlet that represents the artist’s interpretation of Orville and Wilbur Wright’s flying machine from Kitty Hawk.
“These beautiful works of art are meant to reflect the strength and ingenuity that our great state of North Carolina stands for,” said Steven B. Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. in a statement. “The sculptures represent two of our state’s most recognizable images. We hope that our Tanger Outlet Center shoppers in Mebane will enjoy and be inspired by Scott Harris’ art for many years to come.”
Said Harris: “I truly enjoyed the opportunity to create two sculptures that so distinctly represent the state I call home.”
