Sphere Madness rolls into Downtown in June

Sphere Madness has been chosen as the name for this year's Racine Public Art Event.

The winning name was submitted by Lauren DeMorrow of Racine who will receive a $50 Downtown gift certificate from the Downtown Racine Corporation. There were more than 300 entries in the Name the Event contest.

"Downtown is on a roll," said Terry Leopold, DRC director of special events. "We are excited for everyone to visit Downtown this summer and take a look around. Sphere’s where it’s happening!" (Ouch!)

This is the seventh year of public art in Downtown Racine. Seventy-five spheres, decorated by local and regional artists, will be on display Downtown from early June through Labor Day. In September, they will be auctioned to the highest bidders.

For anyone who would like to keep the ball rolling, artist and sponsorship packets are still available from DRC, at 262-634-6002 or from their website.
