I’ve blogged about some whimsical sculptures that I’ve happened upon:
2008: How about some al fresco whimsical art sculpture for Northfield’s new Riverwalk Arts Quarter? (includes photos from our trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico)- 2010: Another idea for whimsical sculpture for the Riverwalk Arts Quarter (photos from a visit to the Como Park Zoo)
and how it would it be cool to see some in downtown Northfield.
Robbie and I were in Red Wing last weekend and I discovered this jester sculpture in their Levee Park downtown along the Mississippi River.
On our trip to NYC last month, we happened upon the Alice in Wonderland sculpture in Central Park. There were so many kids and adults climbing all over it and posing for photos, my daughter-in-law had to wait in line.
What would it take to get the artistic-oriented forces of Northfield behind something like this?
I’m in Griff! I would love to have something like the cows at the old dairy building at the U of MN St. Paul campus or the giant bronze bunny on Minnehaha Parkway done by Jeff Barber (a MN artist we had in our store when we first opened).

Art doesn’t always have to be serious or match your sofa.
