Dear Friends and Neighbors:In 1994, Stamford Downtown presented a sculpture exhibit dedicated to recognizing art as a catalyst for public education, enjoyment and enrichment.This outdoor art program, Art in Public Places, is currently in its 17th year andhas become one of the City’s premier cultural events taking place throughoutthe Downtown and in the Stamford Town Center. Since its inception, Art inPublic Places has grown in size and prominence, providing major works of outdoor sculpture for all to enjoy.

This year’s exhibit It’s Reigning Cats & Dogs, presented by the StamfordDowntown Special Services District, features 40 oversized, originally designedand painted fiberglass cats and dogs on display on the streets and parks ofStamford Downtown. It demonstrates the extraordinary commitment to artthat is part of the Stamford culture. Thanks to the talent of 32 artists whohave magically transformed white fiberglass animal forms into works of art full of creativity and humor and the generosity of patrons of the arts such asGreenfield Partners, Malkin Properties, SAC Capital Advisors, Seaboard Properties, Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa and numerous other companies, this annual public art exhibit will delight Stamfordites and visitors throughoutthe summer.

This is a summer event you won’t want to miss. Take some time to enjoy thecity and see the sculptures in Stamford Downtown. The exhibit will be on display from June through the end of August. It’s a great way to spend a daywith family and friends in the Downtown, and see what Stamford has to offer.

Sincerely,
