Statue Unveiled at Thomasville's Wildlife Arts Festival
Each year, the Thomasville Center for the Arts and Downtown Thomasville (GA) Main Street have partnered with a private donor to commission a new sculpture 
from an artist featured in the annual Wildlife Arts Festival. The Center purchases these sculptures and donates them to the community through the City of Thomasville, where they are cared for and preserved.
If you've run hunt tests or trained around the Thomasville area you have undoubtedly heard of Sallie Perkins Sullivan. Well known for her passion for dogs, dog training and the arts, the bronze chosen for Sallie was sculpted by Walt Matia. If you're in Thomasville, take the time to check it out at 102 West Jackson Street.
