Participating Professional and Student Arts
The following artists were selected by a panel of judges to bring to life their maquette designs on the full-size 6' trees for An Enchanted Arboretum. Congratulations to those artists below and thank you to all of the artists who submitted.
The list below also includes all of the Nebraska City students, whose designs were chosen from the 1000+ maquettes created by students participating in this public art project. Four high school student designs were recreated on 6' sculptures, while 46 designs by students grades, 1-8, were realized on 4' sculptures.
In of September 2013, all the sculptures were auctioned off to raise funds for future community development efforts. The 25 six-foot trees are now permanently installed at outdoor locations chosen by their new owners. The 46 four-foot were purchased by a number of local businesses and individuals for inside homes and backyards.
