HAWKS AND NOVELIS UNVEIL ‘FULL COURT PRESS’

Ahead of Wednesday night’s game against Chicago, the Hawks and the world’s largest recycler of aluminum, Novelis unveiled “FULL COURT PRESS”.

We are thrilled to unveil this sculpture in partnership with Novelis,” said Andrew Saltzman, Chief Revenue Officer for the Hawks and State Farm Arena.

FULL COURT PRESS” is made into the shape of the Hawks Pac-Man logo and displays nearly 404 lbs. of upcycled aluminum cups and cans.

This sculpture celebrates the one-year anniversary of the Hawks’ partnership with Novelis, which officially launched on National Recycling Day in 2021 and 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.

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 local visual artist Taylor Means. “It took Hawks fans making a collective effort to recycle these cans and cups and make this sculpture come to life.”

 If you are ever at State Farm Arena you can see the piece on the Terrace level by the Gate 2 entrance.
