SculpTOUR, Santa Cruz, CA
In an effort to beautify the downtown area and nurture a long term vision for Santa Cruz, CA as a west coast arts and culture center, numerous large outdoor sculptures were installed along the city’s main downtown prominade. The sculptures are part of a rotating public art program called SculpTOUR, where “Virgin Moon” by Marilyn Kuksht serves as a figurehead artwork at the entry to the downtown mall. The SculpTour program is modeled after a similar program in Grand Junction, Colorado and is a collaboration between the City and the Santa Cruz Rotary.
