40 West ArtLine Story Totems

Eleven story totems each containing a hidden dinosaur serve both as lights and to engage people in visual discovery along the 40 West Arts District’s ArtLine. As visitors explore, each totem also furthers the story of the 40 West ArtLine by echoing a motif in the artwork at that location or incorporating a theme derived from the area or history of that area. Each dinosaur is integrated into the totem in a unique way - peeping in, or very small, or just a foot or tail, or low at a child’s height, or formed from the positive/negative interplay of shapes. The first totem along the ArtLine begins with hatching dinosaurs and the last concludes with a dinosaur skeleton.
