West Bend Friends of Sculpture

Mission: To capture the spirit of the community and express it in public art.

West Bend Friends of Sculpture Inc. was founded and incorporated in 1992. Its purpose is to capture the spirit of the community and express it in public art. The collection is based on three important heritages of the West Bend community:

• Its industrial history of making products, similar to the fabrication of sculptures.
• Its commitment to beautiful parks, where many of the pieces are placed.
• Its connection to the Milwaukee River and the Riverfront Parkway, the site for a number of the sculptures in the community collection.

The goal of the Friends of Sculpture is to enhance the quality of life by adding an artistic dimension to the city’s identity.

YOU CAN BE A FRIEND TOO!
