'Duck, Duck, Goose!' Art Installation Comes To Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — Duck… Duck… Goose!

Residents walking or driving in the downtown Stamford area over the next couple months might notice some new visitors. This week, Stamford Downtown's outdoor summer sculpture exhibit begins, with 24 fiberglass ducks, and one goose, placed around the downtown area.

Twenty-five talented artists transformed the fiberglass structures into works of art full of creativity and humor. For example, there's a ROBBER Duck, who is clad in a prisoner's outfit; a PeKING duck, who wears a crown; and Duckmingo, a duck disguised as a flamingo, to name a few.

Beginning around June 12, the goose will be hidden in various spots around Stamford.

Visitors are encouraged to download the Otocast app on their smart phones and visit five or more ducks, or visit Stamford Downtown on Facebook or Instagram or on Twitter to receive clues to find the goose.

A free audio tour with an interactive map, photos, artist narratives and information about downtown Stamford restaurants are all available on the Otocast app.

Upon completion of the exhibit in September, the sculptures will be refurbished and auctioned off, with a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Stamford Museum & Nature Center.

Sponsored by Reckson, the exhibit is part of Stamford Downtown's Art in Public Places, which is currently in its 30th year.

Last year, animal topiaries were installed downtown.
