Imagine public art, river habitat, and an accessible downtown trail all working together.

Join Austin Schuver of Frenchman Bay Conservancy and Cara Romano of Heart of Ellsworth at the trailhead behind the Ellsworth Public Library for a conversational stroll along the river. At an easy pace, the walk will explore library lawn installations and proposed sculpture sites, with pauses to look at sketches, site ideas, and materials, and to talk about phasing and how temporary works might become permanent. The artists behind the sculptures may also join the walk, bringing their own insights into the process and possibilities. The route and stops will remain flexible based on weather, access conditions, and group interest, and participants are encouraged to offer input as we imagine how five granite based sculptures and future commissions can shape downtown placemaking.

Starting Location: Please meet at the picnic table and “Ellsworth Riverwalk” sign. This is behind the Ellsworth Public Library.
