June 20, 2016 – Public art is making a walk in the park a lot more interesting this summer.
The Oak Park Sculpture Walk is back for a fifth season, with 12 sculptures now on display in an outdoor exhibit through Sept. 5 in Mills Park.
This marks the first time in the Sculpture Walk's five-year history that the exhibit is being held on Park District of Oak Park property. Located near Pleasant and Home avenues, Mills Park provides a scenic backdrop for the sculptures, which are displayed around the park's winding walking paths.
This year's sculptures come from near and far. Oak Park resident Tia Jones-Etu's Flower, a celebration of the growing season, is located near the park's northeast entrance. Pieces created by artists from Texas, Missouri and Iowa are also included.
The public is invited to meet the artists at a special reception taking place from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, June 22 at Pleasant Home, 217 Home Ave.
Sculptures are chosen through a juried competition and vary in materials. Brochures with details about the art and the artists are available on site and by clikcing here. Information on each sculpture is also included on the interactive map below.
The Sculpture Walk is organized by the Public Art Advisory Commission, citizen volunteers who promote the acquisition and placement of public art that reflects diversity and artistic expression, and enhances the aesthetic environment of the Village.
