Garden Sculpture Project:
A Collaborative Art Installation
KALICO Art Center is seeking ceramic artists of all skill levels to be a part of an exciting new community project of creating a series of outdoor columnar sculptures. The ceramic columnar sculptures are originally inspired by the totem pole — tall cedar columns carved by First Nations and Indigenous Peoples along the Pacific Northwest. This outdoor sculpture is slated to be installed at the Hockaday Museum of Art later this year! The ultimate goal of this project is to provide our local community with the opportunity to positively impact our shared environment, develop a sense of pride and ownership of our public spaces, engage in the ceramic art-making process, and create a public work of art that will last for generations.
The sculptures will be collaborative in two ways:
Walk-in.
Walk-in to KALICO any time during business hours starting on March 23rd through the end of April and either embellish or paint an element for this unique public art installation! KALICO is open Wednesday - Sunday, 11am - 5pm.

Take a Class.
Participants who register for our upcoming 6-week handbuilding and wheel-throwing courses will spend class time working together designing, discussing, theming, and creating their own class sculpture.
