The City of Highland Park, Il has a very doggy exhibit from June 29 - July 26, 2013. Enjoy steel dog sculptures as you stroll downtown Highland Park; shopping, dining or both! The sculptures are the creation of artist Dale Rogers, metal sculptor from Massachusetts. Dale began welding abstract geometric sculptures in 2002. Dale uses Stainless Steel as his medium;it is beautiful and versatile. The surface of it can be done in many different finishes. The variations add dimension and depth to the different sculptures. The Cor Ten is chosen for its “long life/low maintenance” reputation. It is what cities and the federal government use to make bridges out of. It oxidizes over time and then seals itself. It offers an organic and simple element to the sculptures. There 20+ sculptures scattered throughout downtown Highland Park, while a group of the dogs can be viewed at City Hall. ~Enjoy!
