Franconia 2013


Welcome to Franconia!  A lovely little town in Minnesota that hosts a splendid sculpture park on 20-acres. With a rotating collection of over 95 contemporary sculptures, reflecting the creative talents of local, national, and international artists, the park is free and open to the public 365 days a year, dawn to dusk. 

 Here are some of our favorite pieces this year! 

LOVE the break dancing skeleton!


The "Boys" trying to figure out the solar panel/PC piping sculpture



A rickshaw with an ocean background and a voice coming from the floorboards talking about the rickshaws trip to America.  One of the more "performance" pieces.



One of the super cool things about Franconia is that you never know when you'll happen upon a sculpture in progress!

Even the bathrooms are festive!

What seems to draw us back again and again is the various states we find the sculptures in, the stories of their wear and tear, the artist unique perspective on recognizable objects, and the adoring company who always graces us with their presence.
