Sculptors announced for first phase of Bicentennial Art Project

The Bicentennial Public Art Project has artists for the first leg of its venture that will bring 20 temporary sculptures to the downtown historic district between 2010 and 2013. The first five sculptures are to be based on the Ohio River's impact on New Albany, and will be placed in 2010. Each year leading up to the New Albany Bicentennial, five new works will be added at various downtown locations. The project is a joint effort of the Carnegie Center for Art and History and the New Albany Urban Enterprise Association; major funding for the effort was provided by the Horseshoe Foundation of Floyd County. The artists are: Valerie Sullivan Fuchs, John King, Brad White, J. Daniel Graham and Leticia Bajuyo
