Kenosha Sculpture Walk Seeks Artists and Sponsors for 2026–2028 Exhibit

The Kenosha Sculpture Walk is now accepting artist submissions and sponsorship commitments for its 2026–2028 outdoor exhibit. A nationwide Call for Art has been issued, inviting sculpture artists from across the country to apply. Artists can receive full submission details by emailing KenoshaSculptureWalk@gmail.com.

Sponsors are also needed to support the 10‑sculpture rotating exhibit, which is displayed throughout Downtown Kenosha — including the HarborPark Promenade along Lake Michigan, Civic Center Park, and other prominent public locations.

 

First launched in 2011, the Sculpture Walk brings large‑scale public art to the community and rotates every two years, offering residents and visitors a fresh experience with each new installation.

 

“Public art has the power to spark curiosity, inspire conversation, and strengthen our sense of place,” said Natalie Strohm, Sculpture Walk project manager. “We’re excited to welcome new artists and new partners who want to help shape the next chapter of this beloved community exhibit.”

 

The current Sculpture Walk–HarborPark exhibit remains on display through September 2026 and features the following works:

  • No Strings Attached by Paul Bobrowitz (Colgate, WI) – Sponsored by the Kloss Foundation
  • Incipient by Luke Achterberg (La Crosse, WI) – Sponsored by Snap‑on Incorporated
  • The Feather by Kirk Seese – Sponsored by the Family of Howard J. Brown
  • Lift Off by Judd Nelson – Sponsored by Uline
  • High Steppin’ by Andrew Arvanetes – Sponsored by Patricia Petretti
  • Bear by Paul Bobrowitz (Colgate, WI) – Sponsored by Tom and Ruth Clark
  • Magnify by Kirk Seese – Sponsored by the Callahan Palmer Charitable Trust – Junior Board
  • Salude by John Adduci (Chicago) – Sponsored by Visit Kenosha
  • Swooshy by Ted Sitting Crow Garner (Chicago) – Sponsored by the City of Kenosha
  • Peace on Earth by Shencheng Xu (Chicago) – Sponsored by Jennie Tunkieicz

 

Sponsorships, which cover the two year exhibit, are available at $5,000 per sculpture, or $6,000 for sponsors who wish to select the placement of their sculpture within the approved exhibit locations.

 

The Kenosha Community Foundation serves as the fiscal sponsor of the Kenosha Sculpture Walk.
