Bass Tennessee Cheatham This is the third bennial (every 2 years)
The sculpture bases will be completed by December and delivered to each participating school in the county to decorate and create their masterpiece. These decorated pieces of art will be completed by March 31st and delivered to our Third “Museum of Litter” at the Cheatham County Courthouse for an outside exhibition and Live Auction celebrating Earth Day, April 24, 2018. The Cheatham County Chamber of Commerce will be helping to gather business involvement to participate in a public auction where each sculpture will be auctioned and the money raised will be donated to each school for their entry. Both the builder of the sculpture and the school who decorated the sculpture will share equally in the proceeds. Not only is it a school year-long litter awareness project, it is also a fundraising effort to enhance the art departments of each participating school, or however each chooses to allocate their funds. To date the two “Museum of Litter” public auctions raised over $5,700.00!
Cheatham County school project to help bring awareness of the consequences litter has on our community, environment and financial resources. S ycamore high school technical education class, directed by teacher, John Staggs, will create the sculpture bases of the Bass Tennessee Cheatham . One will be provided to each elementary, middle, high school as well as the Cheatham County Library for homeschoolers. The mission is for all the students, parents and teachers to get involved in decorating their school’s Bass Tennessee Cheatham sculpture using only found litter within the community. The sky is the limit as to what they can create. The mission is to gather “ugly and costly” litter using it to create beautiful Bass Tennessee Cheatham sculptures.

Bass Tennessee Cheatham The sculpture will be constructed out of wood and wood-like materials and will measure 4 feet wide by 51” tall. On this base sculpture, found litter items will be attached in any form or fashion to beautify and colorize. They can be painted or whatever else is desired to make a beautiful piece of art. It will be important to note that these sculptures will be displayed outdoors, so it must be reasonably weather resistant. This can be accomplished by using shellac, or other items that can withstand light rain.
This became this!
