What a beautiful day to celebrate #CapeArts ! The 2016 Cape Girardeau Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition opens tonight with the unveiling of 7 new pieces.
Stop by The Vasterling Suites Courtyard at 6 pm for wine, courtesy of Major Brands Cape Girardeau and to hear a few words from program partners and our wonderful Mayor, Harry Rediger.
Several pieces have already been installed for this year's exhibit! How many new ones have you spotted? Here's one in front of Annie Laurie's Antiques by Kansas City, MO artist William Vannerson. His piece is titled Borborygmid 6. What do you think?! #CapeArts #SculptureTown #NEA
The new sculpture is up outside of Annie Laurie's- the placard isn't there yet, so I think I'll name her The Acrobat. Isn't she beautiful???
The sculptures are going up for the 2016 Cape Girardeau Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit! We hope you can join us for the opening reception this Friday, April 15th at 6:00 pm at the Vasterling Suites Courtyard. Invite your friends: https://www.facebook.com/events/475226016013715/
Our juror for the 2016 exhibit, and creator of “Flint Hills Dreamer” from the 2015 exhibit, will be giving a lecture at Catapult Creative House the day before the opening. Stop by to learn about his sculptural work and long career in the arts! https://www.facebook.com/events/582299498588255/
The new pieces in the Cape Girardeau Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition are being installed in #DowntownCG!

Educational opportunities are just one of the highlights the Cape Girardeau Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition brings to the community. Happy learning, friends!
More Public Art education this morning in #DowntownCG! Southeast Missouri State University 's Issues in Modern Art class is learning more about each of these seven sculptures. How much fun would a test on this subject matter be?!
Look who we caught learning about Mike Baur's piece "Dance" this morning! Ms. Ewers and her class from Prodigy Leadership Academy took a walking tour of the sculpture exhibit on Broadway using the 2015 Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit brochure as their guide.
Does this look like fun to you? Grab a brochure at Old Town Cape, the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri, or the Cape Convention and Visitors Bureau and take your own tour!
Did you catch this article in Sunday's Southeast Missourian about Nathan Pierce? Pierce's sculpture 'Long Shot' is part of this year's Cape Girardeau Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit stationed at the corner of Pacific and Broadway. #Checkout this article to learn more about his creative process and what public art has done for his career.
Awesome photo of 'Sprout' located at the corner of Broadway and Main Streets. #CapeSculpture
