One of the many evidences of Appleton's commitment to the art is Sculpture Valley, an effort hosting numerous sponsored sculptures in Appleton’s Downtown and Riverfront Districts. They secured 9 sculptural works in their premiere July 2017-July 2019 season. Obtaining a total of 24 works is their goal, a project called "ACREofART," a juried outdoor sculpture exhibit.

ACREofART and other major creative projects for Appleton are part of the Creative Downtown Appleton efforts of the non-profit Appleton Downtown, Inc. Your donations can keep the creative momentum going. See AppletonDowntown.org's donations page to help.

On July 16, I was fortunate to be able to attend an open house for the new high-powered consulting group, Dynamic Insights. This team of leading professionals in marketing, business development and consumer research are among the first clients in the newly remodeled Equitable Reserve Association building, a historic building in downtown Neenah, right next to the famous City Hall clock tower on Commercial Street.

The developer of the building has a bold vision for preserving and enhancing downtown Neenah. It was a pleasure to meet him and learn of his passion for Neenah and his vision for the future. Congratulations to him and to Dynamic Insights.

Here are some photos from my visit:
