The City of Cannon Beach, Oregon is pleased to present Sculpture Without Walls (SWW) 2010-11, a yearlong outdoor sculpture exhibit. Cannon Beach, long considered an arts community, is perched at the edge of the Pacific Ocean and provides a magnificent backdrop for outdoor sculpture. SWW 2010-11 will be on display from April 2010 to May of 2011. Three sculptures were selected by a panel of guest jurors and installed in prominent outdoor locations in Cannon Beach. On the weekend of May 1st and 2nd, 2010 one sculpture will be chosen by popular vote. The winner of the “People’s Choice Award” will be purchased for up to $15,000 and become a permanent part of the City’s public art collection. All of the sculptures will be available for purchase through the artist.

The 3 sculptures shown below were selected by this year's panel of jurors and will remain on display through April 2011.  Click here to view the map of sculpture locations from last year's contest.
