Downtown Racine’s 2008 public art project will feature a unique sphere-shaped piece of art. The pieces will consist of a 32″ diameter sphere on a 32″ x 24″ based molded as one piece. The over-all height of the piece is 40″ and each sphere weighs approximately 30 lbs. The spheres are a hollow form molded of fiberglass.
Artists will have the opportunity to decorate their creations in much the same way the previous critters and lighthouses were decorated. “This year’s rounded surface will add a new element”, said Terry Leopold, Director of Special Events for the Downtown Racine Corporation.
“We envision creative interpretations such as the sun, moon globe or plants and everything from whimsical garden art to sophisticated and dramatic art pieces for homes and offices.”
