The Warsaw Public Arts Commission is sponsoring a photo contest as part of the Walk-n-Wander exhibit of Seward Johnson sculptures. Photos are being accepted until Sept. 28. Judging will take place Sept. 30, with the winners being announced at the Nov. 4 First Friday event, according to a press release from the Commission. Photographs will be on display at the Latte Lounge throughout October. Cash prizes totaling $1,375 plus a $100 framing certificate provided by Cox Studio will be awarded. Contest forms can be picked up at Lakeland Art Center & Gallery, 302 E. Winona Ave., and downtown Warsaw businesses. The mission of the Warsaw Public Arts Commission is to develop Warsaw as an engaging place to live, work and play through increasing awareness of the arts for all ages, the release states. By bringing art events such as the “All New” Walk-n-Wander 2016 to the Warsaw Community, the Commission is making an opportunity for community members and visitors to enjoy strolling among the Seward Johnson life-size bronze sculptures, according to the release. Anyone wanting to help the Warsaw Public Arts Commission continue with future art projects may make donations to the Artfully Warsaw Fund at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation, online at kcfoundation.org/donate or call 574-267-1901.
