Art in Public Spaces: Egg Harbor 2017

The Public Arts Initiative of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, in beautiful Door County, announces our inaugural year of Celebrate! Wisconsin Sculptors 2017. We created our organization with a strong belief in the positive impact the arts have on our world and to celebrate the power of art in public spaces. Door County attracts over 4 million visitors a season, and with that in mind, we have a goal of establishing Egg Harbor as an art destination community celebrating and showcasing the sculptural works of artists.

We would like to announce Celebrate! Wisconsin Sculptors 2017 season exhibition in the Village of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin. As you stroll through the public spaces in the Village, you will see outstanding sculptural works of art created by four of Wisconsin’s finest artists.

All sculptures are for sale. Thirty percent of the sale will benefit the Public Arts Initiative, with a portion of the funds to be used for future purchases of permanent art for public spaces in the Village of Egg Harbor. Each sculpture has a plaque with artwork details. Look for rack cards throughout Egg Harbor with a map and further details. Sculptures will be on display until October 20, 2017.
