HAWKS AND NOVELIS JOIN TOGETHER TO UNVEIL 'FULL COURT PRESS' AT STATE FARM ARENA
New Sculpture Uses 404 Pounds of Aluminum and Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of Award-Winning Partnership
Before Wednesday night's game, the Hawks and Novelis unveiled "FULL COURT PRESS", a sculpture made up of nearly 404 lbs. of upcycled aluminum cups and cans in the shape of the primary Hawks logo. The piece is located on the Terrace level by the Gate 2 entrance at State Farm Arena.
"We are thrilled to unveil this sculpture in partnership with Novelis," said Andrew Saltzman, Chief Revenue Officer for the Hawks and State Farm Arena. "We trust that this will serve as a reminder to all our fans how critical sustainability is to the future of our planet."
"FULL COURT PRESS" celebrates the one-year anniversary of the Hawks' partnership with Novelis, the world's largest recycler of aluminum, which officially launched on National Recycling Day in 2021. This sculpture symbolizes a circular economy where maximum effort is employed to make sure precious resources are recycled and reused, rather than discarded as waste.
"Seeing fans' aluminum cans and cups live on in this piece of art adds a unique step to the circular economy Novelis is building with the Hawks and State Farm Arena," said Tom Boney, EVP and President of Novelis North America. "This piece of art is a testament to the versatility and sustainability of aluminum products, and I hope it inspires more fans to recycle their aluminum."
The Hawks and Novelis worked with Taylor Means, a local visual artist, to highlight the organizations' shared vision around sustainability. The artwork was conceived and facilitated by Atlanta Art Consultant, Amy Parry.
"It was an honor for me to collaborate with the Hawks and Novelis," said Means. "It took Hawks fans making a collective effort to recycle these cans and cups and make this sculpture come to life."
