Virginia Street Art Festival director Meghan Williamson appreciatively photographing a duck on the Arts Center exterior. Duck-making artist Terry Ward said, "It's an honor to paint and exhibit alongside a master like Nils Westergard and also the popular Julia Chon."
The slightly greenish-yellow tint to the white is due to a layer of glow paint. Some ducks on exterior surfaces get a glow treatment.
