Artist and Professor of Psychology Steven Specht unveiled “Runner with a Heart” to the UC community at an April 30 ceremony in front of Addison Miller White Hall.
Specht’s painted work, a gift from the Class of 2008, includes symbolic references to Utica’s annual Boilermaker 15K road race and America’s Greatest Heart Run and Walk as well as a number of Utica College traditions.
“Runner with a Heart” is one example of Art of the Run, a community pride project spearheaded by local runners, artists, and individuals inspired by Breakthrough Central New York. The initiative is modeled after the popular CowParade public art exhibit that originated in Sweden and has been replicated in Chicago and cities around the world.
A second runner, in a female form, is located on the UC campus near the Clark Athletic Center.
