Hamilton, Ohio City of Sculpture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hamilton, Ohio, City of Sculpture organization (COS) is a non-profit organization created to promote, purchase, install and preserve public sculpture in Hamilton, Ohio, the Butler County seat. City of Sculpture was created during the summer of 2000. Board members include community leaders, art educators, and artists from the area.
Since its creation, City of Sculpture has participated in the purchase and installation of dozens of larger scale sculptures throughout Hamilton. To raise funds a winter festival was developed in January 2001. “IceFest” showcases ice sculptors from around the world with tens of thousands of visitors viewing more than 200 ice sculptures. The group also sponsors an Artist-in-Residence program.
Presently COS is planning the ”County Seat Project” - an opportunity for artist-inspired and decorated park benches to be placed in downtown Hamilton in the summer of 2007.
