City Of Sculpture - Hamilton, Ohio
On August 16, 2000, Ohio’s governor declared and formally recognized Hamilton as “The City of Sculpture.” This sparked a vision for a group of community members who officially formed Hamilton, Ohio City of Sculpture, Inc. a 503c organization. Since that watershed event, a full Board of Trustees has been established and many new sculptures have been installed in public spaces around Hamilton. Other organizations and businesses are being energized through this vision and action.

Sculpture Spotlight - Conversation in Six Parts
Commissioned by City of Sculpture, this sculpture was paid for by proceeds from IceFest as well as a generous donation from Cox Publishing, the parent company of Hamilton Journal News. Laxman, a New York artist, was the winner of an international call to artists in 2008. The work was dedicated in October, 2009.
“Conversation in Six Parts” is a series of biomorphic forms that invite the viewer to reflect on their simple beauty. The six interlocking curvilinear sections have a dynamic interplay that suggest an animated conversation.
