Stamford Advocate share: Summer art takes shape in Stamford

STAMFORD — Art in Public Places will return this summer with a familiar theme.

Forty white, fiberglass statues — shaped like cubes, spheres and pyramids — landed in Stamford this week, blank canvases ready to be transformed into colorful odes to the City That Works.

Artists from Connecticut, and a few from New York, have submitted 200 statue design proposals in hopes of getting sponsored by a local business or supporter of the arts. The Stamford Downtown Special Services District (DSSD) will narrow the proposals to 65 and 40 finalists will receive sponsorships.

About $175,000 needs to be raised to complete and display the 40 statues.
