This week the Rahr-West Art Museum launched their Public Art Tour app.
The tour showcases the vibrant murals, unique sculptures that celebrate Manitowoc’s rich history, and colorful utility boxes inspired by the Rahr-West’s permanent art collection.
With 31 stops featuring Manitowoc’s public art, there is a sight for everyone to see in the walkable tour of the downtown area and nearby parks.
The app features an interactive map depicting the location of each mural and sculpture. In addition, every public art stop is described in detail including the piece’s title, location, artist(s), and the creative inspiration behind the piece.
Photography and related links featuring additional information on the art or topic are also included for each public art site.
Rahr-West Executive Director Greg Vadney said of the app, that it “allows more people to experience Manitowoc’s unique visual art environment in a different way. The creative explosion of public art in Manitowoc demanded this type of digital navigation.”
