Artistic Lighting Project, Stevens Point, WI

This project began in 2021 when Mayor Mike Wiza designed the first light post figure for the River Cities Mayor’s Art Challenge. I joined the team shortly after, and since then, several light post figures have been installed throughout the city.

 

This project celebrates the talents, passions, and stories of the Stevens Point community, honoring the people who shape its character. Growing up here, I was deeply aware of the creativity, care, and resilience of those around me, and this work reflects that observation. Through these light post figures, I hope to create a sense of connection, recognition, and belonging, making visible the everyday contributions that often go unnoticed and inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and engage with the community around them.

​

This project wouldn’t be possible without an incredible team of dedicated volunteers, including fabricator Andy Vollert, Don Galloway at Point Coating, Bushman Electric, the Stevens Point City Streets Department, and our many generous donors—thank you for making this vision a reality!
