Jason Quick completed this piece, called "Brave Enough," last Friday

Five sculptors/sculpting teams will be creating art through the end of next week. You can find details here.

But will there be a role for Duluth's Snow Sculpting Laureate, Harry Welty?

And the Duluth Street Art Initiative is looking for a muralist to create a large-scale mural in downtown Duluth. You can find more information here.
