Mark Your Calendars: Lodi School Street <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll, April 15<br />
Ten Life-Size Sculptures by Seward Johnson<br />
will Grace the Streets of Downtown Lodi<br />
The 19th annual School Street <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll<br />
will be celebrated with the arrival of ten lifesize<br />
bronze sculptures created by internationally<br />
known artist, Seward Johnson. The<br />
sculptures will be placed throughout School<br />
Street in the historic area of downtown Lodi<br />
where the <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll takes place. More than<br />
25 Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines<br />
in shops and boutiques on Friday, April 15,<br />
from 6 to 9 p.m.<br />
The City of Lodi, through the Arts in<br />
Public Places Funding, is sponsoring the ten<br />
sculptures to be placed on School Street in<br />
downtown Lodi from April 15 to July 15,<br />
2011. Lodi Arts Advisory Board Member<br />
Roger Stafford said, “<strong>This</strong> is an opportunity<br />
for the Art in Public Places Committee to give<br />
to the City of Lodi an interactive form of art<br />
that will be fun and educational. <strong>This</strong> art<br />
display also provides an attraction to the<br />
downtown for Lodi residents of all ages and<br />
their out of town visitors.”<br />
The public art exhibit will feature the lifesize<br />
sculptures off world-renowned artist,<br />
Seward Johnson. One of America’s most<br />
beloved sculptors, Johnson recreates life in<br />
our times in vividly realistic bronze. At 80,<br />
Johnson h<strong>as</strong> been sculpting life-like figures<br />
for over 30 years, many of which are nestled<br />
into the landscapes of public parks and<br />
private estates. His sense of humor, and affection<br />
for people, is evident in all of his works<br />
from the little girls reluctantly sharing an icecream<br />
cone, to the tenderness of a mother<br />
reading to her young child. “What I’m trying<br />
to do is draw attention to the simple ple<strong>as</strong>ures,<br />
to show how much fun life is. That is<br />
why there are so many humorous details in<br />
my work.” Johnson captures moments for us.<br />
He holds up a mirror for our reflection, and it<br />
is ultimately one that will make us smile at<br />
ourselves. Details and photos of the complete<br />
collection can be found at www.sewardjohnson.com.<br />
The sculptures are on loan from The<br />
Sculpture Foundation, a charitable and<br />
educational organization dedicated to<br />
providing exhibitions and landmark public<br />
artworks for communities. Director of the<br />
Foundation, Paula Stoeke notes, “The Foundation<br />
is delighted to share these sculptures.<br />
We hope that the community will embrace<br />
the artwork and integrate the event into the<br />
fabric of Lodi, from the cl<strong>as</strong>srooms to the<br />
dinner table conversations.”<br />
During the School Street <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll, Lodi<br />
Appellation wineries will be paired with<br />
merchants for an evening of wine, food, shopping<br />
and entertainment. Guests can t<strong>as</strong>te<br />
award-winning wines, meet the vintners and<br />
enjoy appetizers provided by hosting<br />
merchants. Lodi wineries will share their<br />
special wines and are on hand to discuss their<br />
vintages. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 at<br />
the event; designated driver tickets are $10 in<br />
advance or $15 at the event. Lodi hotels are<br />
offering special discounts for overnight visits.<br />
