Re-imagining the Corner of 6th & Western
The Stillwater Arts & Humanities Council along with the City of Stillwater and its citizens are seeking artists to submit sculpture designs for a public art display. Submission deadline is August 1, 2021.
The northeast corner of 6th Street and Western Avenue is a well-traveled entrance into the heart of the Stillwater. The work of art erected on this corner will serve as the catalyst for a larger, more comprehensive, initiative called the Gateway Project. The Gateway Project includes the identification and implementation of gateway signs, district boundaries, wayfinding, and public art. The selected sculpture will welcome everyone into the heart of Stillwater and become a defining element within the community.
