WAUKESHA - The 10 pieces of art that have been
selected for the Waukesha Public Art Walk vary widely in
size, material and subject. But, what they all have in
common is that they are in downtown Waukesha.
Lisa
Peterson, a Waukesha Public Art Committee member, said the
art selected for the walk was meant to get people to explore
the revitalized downtown and to give them something to
enjoy.
“It’s
really a great way to celebrate a morning or afternoon,”
she said. “And there are things on it, you’re not aware
are there.”
The
art pieces include life-size bronze bears and a brilliant
painted sunflower.
Lisa
Smart, another committee member, said the committee decided
about one year ago to highlight downtown public art by
creating the walking tour.
“It
was mostly to get the word out to let people know that there
is this public art right in their community and they could
take a walk to see it,” she said.
