Chelsea Creates New City Vibe with SculptureWalk

The City of Chelsea is excited to announce that, for the 12th year, sculptures will be lining the city streets and parks. There are 14 new sculptures that are gracing the streets, giving viewers a new outdoor activity to do!

This year’s SculptureWalk had 35 applicants and, of the 14 selected sculptures, 3 artists are from Ohio while 11 are from Michigan, keeping the art as local as possible. For several of the artists, this will be their first public exhibition. Here is a list of the artists that are featured in the Chelsea Sculpture walk.

All sculptures on the walk are available for purchase, with 70% of the proceeds going directly to the artist and the remainder going towards the continuation of SculptureWalk Chelsea. Chelsea Area Festivals & Events (CAFE) is proud of the creativity and professionalism that the Visual Arts and Exhibition Coordinator, Crystal Scott, brought to this year’s program.
