After about a month of having the new works of art out in the open, the City of Sherbrooke officially launched the second year of its “Circuit art et mosaïques,” which features a series of living sculptures created by a team of metal artists and the workers at Sherbrooke’s municipal greenhouses. Adding to the installations that appeared last summer, mainly around the Lac-des-Nations walking path, this year’s circuit has grown to include a series of mobile sculptures that will be popping up at various events over the course of the summer. “The Circuit art et mosaïques offers an excellent opportunity to admire works of art in Sherbrooke,” said Paul Gingues, Chairman of the city’s cultural committee, adding that the success of those sculptures that have already been spotted this summer bodes well for the weeks to come. “I have seen plenty of people take photos beside the duck so far during walks,” Gingues said, referring to one of the stars of the new additions, a giant rubber duck named “Sherbyducky.” See full story in the Thursday, July 4 edition of The Record.
