The Kenosha Sculpture Walk has opened its call for artist submissions and is seeking sponsors for its 2026–2028 outdoor art exhibit. Artists from across the United States are invited to apply, with full submission details available by contacting the organization directly.
The exhibit features ten sculptures displayed throughout Downtown Kenosha, including locations such as HarborPark Promenade along Lake Michigan and Civic Center Park. Since its inception in 2011, the Sculpture Walk has rotated installations every two years, providing both residents and visitors with new works of public art on a regular basis.
“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 lineup will remain in place until September 2026 and includes works such as No Strings Attached by Paul Bobrowitz (sponsored by the Kloss Foundation), Incipient by Luke Achterberg (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 (sponsored by Tom and Ruth Clark), Magnify by Kirk Seese (sponsored by the Callahan Palmer Charitable Trust – Junior Board), Salude by John Adduci (sponsored by Visit Kenosha), Swooshy by Ted Sitting Crow Garner (sponsored by the City of Kenosha), and Peace on Earth by Shencheng Xu (sponsored by Jennie Tunkieicz).
Sponsorship for each sculpture is set at $5,000 for a two-year term, or $6,000 if sponsors wish to select their sculpture’s placement among approved exhibit sites.
The fiscal sponsorship for the Kenosha Sculpture Walk is provided through the Kenosha Community Foundation.
