The Old Dog Presents: Your Official Art Exhibit of Manhole Covers!

Hey friends, great news! We now have an art exhibit of the world's best manhole covers and it is a thing of BEAUTY!!!!

Those manhole covers look soooo good and are worthy pieces of art!

Where is The Art Exhibit?

Why in cyberspace of course...... but still, it's way cool! I was looking around for a place to showcase all of your wonderful submissions to my contest and it turns out there are many options for online Museums and Art exhibits!

I settled on one at www.artsteps.com because I could try it out for free.

Check Out How Great it Looks And Learn Who Won The 10 SBD Prize!

In my previous post on this subject "The Old Dog Discovers: Man Hole Covers as Art!"  I presented manhole covers as art and asked you to send me the beauties that you had seen! Your response led to our beautiful exhibit at ArtSteps!


Do you like the natural lighting? Me too!


Manhole covers as art. Yes indeed this is working out just fine!


You guys sent in some fabulous pieces of art!


Are you sure that these are manholes? Yes indeed I am!


The one on the left is one of mine and it's my only one in the gallery. The rest are all yours!

Would You Like to Have a Walk Around Inside The Gallery?

Come on....let's go. I'll give you the guided tour!

Note: I uploaded here instead of DTube this time but I'll use DTube again....it's great!


So With All of Those Beautiful Manhole Covers Who's The Winner?

Well I have to admit that the colored ones from Japan are amazing but I was looking for the quality of the foundry work, the surrounding road material and for that certain "je ne sais quoi"

Therefore the grand winner is: 


This elegant piece was submitted by @livelifefullest and so Martin from the Netherlands will have 10 SBD transferred to his account. Way to go Martin!

Hey wow! That looks fantastic!


Do you like it? Looks like we've got a future in art fellow Steemers!

A Little Bit About Virtual Galleries

I found the gallery at Artsteps easy to use. I got the free package with which I can have one exhibit with a total of just 30 objects. I am also restricted from inviting anyone to go to our gallery using a link. In other words it is just to try it out! 

There are many options for room sizes, configurations, number of rooms, flooring etc... If you're an artist you may want to explore this further.

What Do You Think?

  • Are you surprised at how great our gallery and its pieces look?
  • If you're an artist are you interested in virtual galleries?
  • What other mundane object would you like to see us explore as art? Give me some ideas and we'll have another contest!


I hope that you enjoyed this article about "Your Official Art Exhibit of Manhole Covers!"


Until next time,
