This rain is a drag but it tarts up the sculpture walk

Mankato’s new sculptures are up! You could wait for a nice day, or you could do the PG-13 tour which is in the rain.

The sculptures take on a different texture when they’re slicked down and paired with roadside accessories. Like a brand new look. Let’s call it “wet gutter cocktail.”

Let’s call it “semi-bare crushed curb.”

“High-gloss metallic organic.”

“Concrete pastel semi-Georgia O’Keefe casual.”

“Shabby chic futuristic phallic’s-where-you-find-it.”

Take the walk, rain or shine. Vote for your favorite!

And (always) dress accordingly.

This year’s sculptures are especially gorgeous and provocative. Featured here: “How Do You Feel Today?” by Shohini Ghosh, “Catching the Wind” by Gregory Johnson, “Stairway to Red” by Chris Kilbaine, “Sack Race by Roger Golden” and “Zion” by Grant Standard. Good stuff. Go see.
