Annual Outdoor Downtown Sculpture Exhibition
The Outdoor Downtown Sculpture Exhibition is an annual juried exhibition of sculpture founded by Jim Patti in 1987. The exhibition is anchored by two permanents pieces of public art from the City of Lawrence’s collection: at Massachusetts and 6th Streets (The Flame by Lin Emery, 1981, and Freeform by Stephen Johnson, 2004); it features an assortment of loaned work that is submitted by artists working in Lawrence and across the nation. The installation of the exhibition on the sidewalks and in the public spaces of downtown enriches our shared experiences with immediate access to public art for both the community and visitors of Lawrence.
Downtown Lawrence is a valuable part of our community. One way our Downtown remains remarkable is through the infusion of art. Each year, the Lawrence streetscape evolves with the sculptures.
From enhancing the streetscape to creating an experience for people, art can tell an important story, share a piece of a culture and bring people together to appreciate the talent of an artist. Art makes an impact on many levels.
