Support Summit Public Art!

Support Summit Public Art This Giving Tuesday!

One of the wonderful things about public art

is that you don't have to go find it. It finds you.

Public art touches people on so many levels.

It helps us to connect, engage, and share our experiences as a community.

It helps turn our public spaces into dynamic places that people like to visit and want to return to again and again.

But it’s deeper than that.

Art enriches our lives emotionally and intellectually. It adds a dimension that takes us away from our everyday routines.

For some, public art is an escape, a break from the ordinary. For others, it’s a reflection of who we are or what we aspire to be, a chance to connect with something timeless, something bigger than ourselves.

For some of our Summit families, the public art they see downtown may be the only art that they or their children encounter in their daily lives.

That’s why we’re committed to keeping public art relevant, current, and accessible.

Over the past twenty years, Summit Public Art has installed over 80 works of temporary art and several permanent artworks throughout Summit, including Silver Sentinel, the gateway tree sculpture that greets visitors at the edge of town, and Pleiades, the striking new sculpture at the newly renovated Promenade Fountain in the heart of downtown Summit.

As a volunteer-run, donor-funded, city-based organization, we rely on the generosity of Summit residents to provide the public art and community projects that you, your families, and visitors to our town enjoy on a daily basis.

In other words, we simply can't do this without the support of friends and neighbors just like you.

That's why we're asking for your support this Giving Tuesday, November 29th.

Any contribution you can make will help us continue to bring exceptional art to our wonderful city and home—no donation is too small!

Be a Star!

Sponsor Star and Spheres

and Help Bring More Public Art to Summit!

If you've passed by City Hall lately, you've probably noticed our eye-catching new installation Star and Spheres by artist Ray King. King has been called “The Sun King” because of the way his glass sculptures interact with light. By creating dynamic interactions with the sun and refracting light into colors, he creates an environment that appeals to viewers’ sense of wonderment and delight.

Now as we approach the close of our 20th-anniversary year, we'd like to invite you to sponsor this unique work that literally brings light and color to our town every day. As a sponsor, your name will appear on the sign for Star and Spheres at City Hall to signal your support for our mission to enrich the cultural life of our "City of Art."

Your tax-deductible donation will not only support this unique installation but will enable us to bring even more public art to Summit next year!
