Uptown Columbus announces winners of Sculpture Walk 2007

And the winner is . . . "May Flower."

"May Flower," the sculpture by New York-based artist Susan Geissler, features a little girl in a rain slicker and red boots with her face upturned to catch raindrops. It won the People's Choice Award for Sculpture Walk 2007, which was installed last fall.

"May Flower" was moved to the northeast corner of 10th Street and Broadway in front of Raymond James Financial Services from its original location.

The Sculpture Walk is the brainchild of Uptown Columbus executive director Richard Bishop, who was pleased to announce the various category winners Thursday morning.

He said he was trying to make Columbus a destination for people looking for public art.

Columbus Regional Healthcare System purchased "May Flower," which allowed Uptown Columbus to buy "Saturday Distraction."
