At our meeting May 27, the Lewes Arts Committee regretfully voted to postpone the exhibition of Tom Fruin’s Watertower #7 scheduled for Canalfront Park this summer. The piece is in New York and needs to be disassembled there and then reassembled in Lewes. The various COVID-19 restrictions make this impossible to achieve within our current time constraints.
We thank the many folks who so kindly donated money to try to make this happen. You made us proud to be part of such a forward-thinking community. Because we collected those donations for this endeavor specifically, all monies we received will be refunded by the City of Lewes.
We love this piece, and are hoping to bring it into town for summer 2021. Those details will be decided in the fall. Meanwhile, art is everywhere. Go find it, and show it to your neighbor. We will all be the better for it.
For more updates send us a note and we will put you on our mailing list. Who knows? Something may still find its way to that park.
It’s not out of the question. Visit us at www.lewespublicarts.org.
