Bethel Arts Seeks Donations for Outdoor Sculpture Installation

Bethel Arts is working with sculptor David Boyajian and local artists to install a large-scale outdoor sculpture exhibit in downtown Bethel.

They’ve created a Crowdrise campaign to raise $10,000 to fund the project after recently receiving a $5,000 grant from the State of Connecticut for the one-year art project. The exhibit will run from the spring of 2016 through spring of 2017.

The organizers wrote on their campaign website:

“Bethel’s downtown will be transformed into a place of curiosity and joy, as a collection of large sculptures invite area residents to ask questions and spark their curiosity as they try and decipher what these beautiful creations are trying to tell us. In order for this to happen, Bethel Arts needs our community to come together. Our goal is to enhance community participation in the public art process through engagement of the public. Being a part of the process, as opposed to watching it happen, will not only promote our community’s identity, it will celebrate Bethel’s unique character, history and diversity through a public art project.”
