Monday Jul 8 Sunny & hot Castlegar, BC
What a beautiful morning here in the Kootenays. The sun is shining, the breeze is cool. It's a perfect morning to check out Castlegar's SculptureWalk.
From the SculptureWalk website:
Sculpturewalk is an outdoor exhibit of original sculptures by local and international artists, located on a pleasant walking tour in downtown Castlegar. Now in its tenth year, our 2019 program brings 30 works of art to the city. Viewers are encouraged to vote for their favourite sculpture via ballot, and the winner of The People’s Choice Award is purchased for permanent display in the City. Offering $25,000 in prize money annually, Sculpturewalk attracts world-class sculptural talent to our program.
In our sixth year, we were awarded the trademark of The Sculpture Capitol of Canada™! Come take the Sculpturewalk, and enjoy the view!
Sculpturewalk is expanding regionally! See the following sculptures from Sculpturewalk now featured in Castlegar, Revelstoke, Nakusp, Penticton, Creston, Rossland and Nelson, BC.
For more information, please visit Castlegar's SculptureWalk.
I was going to add some pictures that I took, but looking at the website for this year's contenders (below), my pictures pale
in comparison, so click on any of the pictures to see a very excellent presentation of this year's 30 contenders. You will be able to see an enlarged picture of each sculpture as well as find out more about each artist.
You will be amazed at the artistry; we sure were.
We have 2 ballots so which sculpture would you pick?
