Together Wichita, a nonprofit made up of businesses that organize and finance projects intended to better the city, will be dispersing 13 10-foot-tall Keepers on Parade sculptures around Wichita as part of a celebration of Wichita’s 150th birthday, which will be marked this summer.
Artists have already been selected to decorate the new sculptures, and each of the city’s six City Council districts will receive two. One will be designed and painted for Mayor Brandon Whipple.
The artists will get the fiberglass sculptures in March and will have until the end of June to finish painting them. Details on their unveiling will be revealed later, said Together Wichita project coordinator Tessa Brungardt.
