WORLD CLASS ENTERTAINMENT WORLD-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT WORLD-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT WORLD-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT GET CREATIVE GET CREATIVE WITH WITH WINE & PAINTING WINE & PAINTING By Linda McAlpine Daily News Staff WEST BEND — When it comes to art, West Bend has something – more than 30 somethings, actually – that sets the city apart. Scattered across the city are more than 35 sculptures. They run the gamut from the whimsi- cal, like the collection of bronze oversized animals that are native to the state, found at the old West Bend Depot, and the "Wheelman", which features a cyclist riding a high-wheeled 1880s-era bicycle, that stands outside of West Bend Mutual Insurance Company's world headquarters, to the thought-provoking, such as a sculp- ture named "Interim IX," a stainless steel piece of art by Bruce Niemi of Kenosha that was inspired by his faith in God and the power and beauty of nature. The West Bend Friends of Sculpture Inc. is responsible for this amazing collection of public art. The group was founded in 1992 with the goal of enhancing the quality of life in West Bend "by adding an artistic dimension to the city's identity," according to information on a self-guided walking tour map brochure produced by the group. "Having so much public art is a huge advantage for the city. It's one of the things we promote and it really makes West Bend unique," Craig Farrell, executive director of the West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce said. "There are well over 30 sculptures. That shows that this city has an interest in art." And they seem to be everywhere, Farrell noted. While many are in parks and along walking paths, the art pieces can also be found on the grounds of private companies and public buildings. The campus of West Bend Mutual Insurance, the grounds of Serigraph, Inc., the West Bend Community Memorial Library and the Wisconsin Museum of Art all serve as home to pieces of public art. While some of the art is modern, a few are historical. The tour map pro- duced by the Friends of Sculpture includes the Bird Effigy Mounds, which were likely a form of public art for the Woodland Indians, who lived in the area about 3,000 years ago. The bird-shaped mounds can be found along the Milwaukee River in Quaas Creek Park. Another piece of art that has a long history is that of "Lady Justice," a bas relief that adorns the north face of the old county courthouse, which dates to 1889 and "symbolizes the even hand of justice," according to the map. The collection that has been assembled by the West Bend Friends of Sculpture is based on three heritages of the city: its industrial history, its commitment to public park space and its connection to the Milwaukee River, the brochure notes. For more information about all the sculptures and a map of their loca- tions, visit the West Bend Friends of Sculpture website at www.west- bendsculpture.org.
