Village of Egg Harbor Embraces Creativity with Art Installations

The Village of Egg Harbor, in an effort to create additional visual and aesthetic interest, has adopted a plan to install four pieces of permanent sculpture to be placed throughout the area.

“We’re so delighted that our community has chosen to embrace the idea of placing art throughout the village,” said Village President Nancy Fisher. “Of course these installations will enhance the visitors’ experience, but perhaps even more importantly, they help to create a beautiful environment in which to live and work year-round.”

The first artistic creation to be accepted is “Blue Sail” by Milwaukee sculptor Richard Edelman. The piece is expected to be installed in time for the grand opening of the new marina on August 14.

“Blue Sail” will be located in the upland area of the marina, visible from both Harbor View Park and the docks. It is a delicate 15-foot piece, created from steel to withstand all the waterside elements. The piece is on extended loan to the village. Edelman’s work is represented by Woodwalk Gallery, located in Egg Harbor.

Egg Harbor looks forward to announcing additional works to be placed in other village locations in the future.
