Downtown Racine will be rolling along this year! Our 7th Annual Public Art Exhibit is underway. The canvas for this year's event is a 'Sphere', a 32" diameter fiberglass sphere mounted on a 24" x 32" base The theme for the event is determined through a contest, open to the public. Ideas are submitted to Downtown Racine Corporation (DRC) and judges determine determine the winning submission. This year the theme is "Sphere Madness."
The Spheres are sponsored by businesses and individuals. Artists submit their designs to DRC and are assigned to a sponsor if the sponsor doesn't have an artist. The Spheres are to be finished by the end of May when there will be a Preview Party to be held May 31 at Wingspread, a Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built Conference Center in Wind Point, a community on the northside of Racine.
After the Preview Party, the art pieces will be displayed at local shops, restaurants, and businesses throughout Downtown Racine. An auction, open to the public, will be held on September 6, at Memorial Hall in Downtown.
This is one of many exiting events held Downtown Racine on the beautiful shore of Lake Michigan.
