Burning Texan Clock Tower for New Year’s Eve

A burning resolution clock created by the folks at Community Art Makers in Austin, Texas provided revelers quite the show on New Year’s Eve. First they painstakingly built the beautiful 34-foot functioning clock tower out of wood. Then they invited the locals—and whomever else who wanted to attend—to attach memos of their resolutions for the upcoming year to the structure.

Finally, at about 8 PM, they set the whole darn thing on fire in a blaze of flame and exploding fireworks!

Sounds like one fun Texan whoop-up!

One of the organizers of the event explains, “Our pieces are intentionally massive and intricate - it takes a dedicated team to build them. Upon their destruction, what is left are the skills we have garnered and the relationships we’ve built, the community we have created - and that is the real art.”
