15th ANNUAL PUBLIC ART EXHIBIT

COME ONE, COME ALL TO THE MAGICAL KINGDOM OF ST. JOSEPH
MAY 18-SEPT. 20, 2018

 

ST. JOSEPH, MICH. (Oct. 23, 2017) — Hear ye! Hear ye! The City of St. Joseph has decreed that everyone will have fun during its 15th annual public art exhibit, “The Magical Kingdom of St. Joseph,” May 18-Sept. 20. The popular outdoor event held on the city’s downtown sidewalks will feature 15 sculptures depicting knights, dragons and a kid-size castle painted by regional artists.

 

“We’ve planned a royal good time all summer long for the young, old and middle ages,” said Susan Solon, St. Joseph communications and marketing manager. The Magical Kingdom will be unveiled on May 18 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Maps to the kingdom and each of its sculptures will be available throughout the summer at St. Joseph Today Welcome Center, 301 State St., or online at StJosephPublicArt.com.

 

“Beginning November 1st, we will be seeking artists and sponsors to participate in the 2018 exhibit,” said Solon. Applications will be available online starting November 1; artists are reminded that a sketch must accompany the completed application. Artists can then submit their application and sketch at StJosephPublicArt.com or download and email it to ssolon@sjcity.com. The submission deadline is Dec. 15, 2017.

 

Several area sponsors, including Abonmarche, Pizza Hut, St. Joseph Today and LeRoy’s Body Shop make the event possible.
