Luebtow created this sculpture, "Untitled," in 2000 as one of a series of Linear Form I-Beam sculptures. It stands 10 feet tall and is made from 1” thick annealed glass, stainless steel, and a steel I-Beam. Luebtow chose to work with five pieces of annealed glass, formed by an undulating kiln, to mimic the movement of water. The steel I-Beam supporting the glass is meant to echo the confines of movement made by a riverbank. Luebtow’s investigation of linear forms is common throughout his body of work. While his sculptures are technically controlled, he often plays with scale and movement within the work to create visually imposing structures that encourage the viewer’s own self-reflections. In Untitled, the manipulated glass, representing the river, allows the viewer to see Luebtow’s playful investigation of line and movement.

Beetle Shadow by John King Beetle Shadow // John King, Eureka // concrete // 2002 'Beetle Shadow' stands 6 feet tall and is made from concrete, with in-layed fossils. King’s work is greatly influenced by evolution and the cycle of life. In this sculpture, King focused specifically on capturing a forgotten moment in time, using various aquatic and other types of fossil images to depict the impermanence of life. As he explains, “Time flows forward and moves on, leaving shadows from the past.” King is interested in atomic exploration and the chemical restructuring of the universe and often explores these ideas and the Earth’s genetic heritage in his work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1472515752544-QEF7VBKFR5P3411ANXM8/09-11+WEB+Martin+3.jpg 2009-2011 Gallery - 8. Fish 'On' by Terence Martin / PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER Fish 'On' // Terence Martin // mild steel // 2006 CURRENT LOCATION: On the Riverfront walkway behind the Napa River Inn after the hotel owner purchased it. MAP Terence Martin's steel sculpture, "Fish On", was the People's Choice winner for this first Napa ARTwalk program. He made individual scales for the large mouth bass by cutting and joining them together from the inside around an internal steel frame. Then he added color with a blow-torch. The final finish is an automotive-based clear coat, with rainbow pearl additives. Martin says, “600 pounds of metal can talk. Really. It moves, it sings, it's fluid, it's delicate - and the most amazing thing about metal is that it makes PEOPLE talk. And move. Maybe even sing, too.” Martin seeks out environmentally-friendly recycled materials, in addition to using the environment as the inspirational framework for his sculptures. He says his piece "is a multifaceted sculpture that spans generations and cultures. It is art that is accessible to all and exclusive to none. By selecting elements from earth and nature, as well as metaphors for the human experience, the images are at once recognizable and tangible objects that appeal to all walks of life."

Skiff by Eric Powell Skiff // Eric Powell // steel // 2010 Eric Powell's sculpture depicts the iconic form of a river-going vessel crafted by civilizations from around the world, including the Wappo tribe native to the Napa Valley. Powell says, "the ribs of the vessel evoke forms from the human body, revealing how design is so often inspired by nature. The open pods that live inside the vessel represent the living pulse of the body and of the river, as well as passengers on their river journey. " Powell explains that he "designs and fabricates unique contemporary metal sculpture for both public spaces and private commissions, from unique gates and sculpture to large-scale public art projects." For over 20 years, he has "developed an intimate knowledge of the unique properties of metal and have found that despite its resistance to change, it is infinitely malleable. Through a process that requires both discipline and flexibility, steel and bronze can come to exist in a multitude of forms that exude strength and durability." He considers his studio is a laboratory, a workshop and a factory. "It is a place to learn and teach and to refine and deepen the sacred act of making something with one’s own hands." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623624018-G4GKZMIY3WXXYG6LMSCO/2010-2011+AW+WEB-26.jpg 2009-2011 Gallery - 4. Napa River Stele by Ann Shelby Valentine Napa River Stele // Ann Shelby Valentine // pique assiette mosaic // 2010 Artist Ann Shelby Valentine says that "from a distance, the bold composition of The Napa River Stele depicts the continual line of the Napa River: from snow fed streams on the five peaks of Mt. St. Helena to its tawny flow into San Pablo Bay." But up close, her pique assiette mosaic "depicts infinite details including wildlife and fields of native wildflowers, especially a Matilija poppy, California poppies and the recently restored sticky yellow monkey flower near the old Silverado Mine." Valentine's 'Stele' celebrates the Napa River as it winds down the length of Napa Valley past the Calistoga Geyser, numerous vineyards, indigenous Wappo village sites, the historic Bale Grist Mill, vibrant tourism (represented by hot air balloons), the maritime heritage of Mare Island and restored marshland habitat with pickleweed and mosquitoes plus returning steelhead and salmon." She says she repurposed a "great variety of shards of china, pottery, tile and objets trouvés - all recycled, 'rescued-from-the-dump', salvaged material prized for its potential to still bring many years of visual delight." The piece is made of cement materials, over a lightweight core and rebar. Valentine asks the viewer to "see if you can find: a frog; a wine bottle; a cherub’s head; a girl’s head with a purple bonnet; cup handles (there are 2); a teapot spout; a turtle; little fish (there are 3); a whale; a pot lid; a bowl bottom; a bird figurine; a swan figurine; a bear; an owl; a duck’s head." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1472514886490-DA1JPU4BGSKU6FQSINTP/09-11+WEB+Fitz-Gerald+4.jpg 2009-2011 Gallery - 9. Via Regia by Stephen Fitz-Gerald Via Regia // Stephen Fitz-Gerald // stainless steel // 2006 Inspired by Sigmund Freud’s statement that, "Dreams are the royal road to the subconscious," artist Stephen Fitz-Gerald created his steel sculpture, "Via Regia," meaning "royal road" in Latin. Fitz-Gerald says it is an homage to his own dreams, explaining that "in the field of dream interpretation, smooth, flowing rivers indicate the promise of pleasure and prosperity." He continues to explain that "Via Regia", resting alongside the Napa River, creates a harmonious duality of two royal roads: one steel and one water, both of which lead to a new and unexplored futures. Fitz-Gerald is the son of master sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald, who has remained his greatest creative influence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623713288-F6ITXRYRJ5A89HWNXL7J/2010-2011+AW+WEB-24.jpg 2009-2011 Gallery - 5. Homage to Our Native Roots by Carlos Zamora Homage to Our Native Roots // Carlos Zamora // marble // 2010 Artist Carlos Zamora created two marble totems together entitled, 'Homage to our Native Roots'. He says his piece is meant to "describe a mythical story beginning with the inhabitants of air, earth, and water; creatures that swim, walk, crawl, and fly as they trace our history. Their ideas, memories and interpretations underlie the secrets of life that have been passed down through time." By reinventing traditional forms, such as bowls turned upside down, Zamora challenges the viewer "to see with their hearts," as he puts it. Covered with pre-Columbian symbols, Zamora wants to "relay the messages of beings who lived in the splendor of the past" In these totems, Zamora seeks to "give these beautiful designs rebirth in physical representation again." To find these huge blocks of marble, he went to the mines of Selva Alegre, Ecuador. Sculpting each stone with total focus and reverent care, he returned many times for additional blocks. Looking at the work, the top piece shows an indigenous face "reflecting the sadness and tragedy of his people." He originally designed it to be a fountain, with atomized water emitting a mist from the crown and shooting water up in a rainbow arch, but due to the long installation period, this part of the sculptures remains silent. He says that the two symmetrical birds "represent the unity of life." Image by J.L.

Bird by Riis Burwell Bird // Riis Burwell // bronze, stainless steel // 2005 Riis Burwell says his sculpture “Bird” was inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s sculpture, “Bird in Space,” and by jazz musician Charlie Parker (known affectionately to his fans as 'Bird'). “My sculpture is an exploration – emotional, spiritual and physical of what is both seen and unseen in nature," Burwell explains. "Charlie Parker strove throughout his career to push musical boundaries beyond established limits. His work was forever fluid and free. In 'Bird', the central bronze form symbolically and literally grows out of the constraints of its surrounding environment, much as a river flows and expands, pushing against the banks that seek to restrain and shape it. Art, nature, and beautiful music provide the sculpture with an ever-abiding link to the natural." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1472097539288-EBJNUB6P2634SMTWUQAW/2009-2011+Images%3A+Luebtow_I-Beam_App_hi+res.jpg 2009-2011 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623922879-YR3XBNQRSOZSX5TW1KTP/2010-2011+AW+WEB-43.jpg 2009-2011 Gallery - 7.

The Throne by Nicky Falkenhayn The Throne // Nicky Falkenhayn // cor-ten steel, stacked glass // 2008 Artist Nicky Falkenhayn used rusty Cor-ten steel and cut stacked glass to create 'The Throne'. Both are favorite sculpture materials for Falkenhayn, based on their "elegant natural colors." She says that she “truly enjoys molten metal sparks flying about when welding or grinding steel. Figuring out the engineering of a sculpture is equally satisfying to me as making it. 'The Throne' was designed to be a 'Royal Seat' to celebrate the meeting point of water, sky and earth." The placement of "The Throne," overlooking the Napa River, allows and encourages viewers to view the local landscape in an entirely new way while seated on the sculpture. Falkenhayn says she strives for "simplicity, grace, and harmony in both her own space and in her work." Image by J.L.

Returning... the Dream Journey by Marissa Carlisle Returning.. the dream journey// Marissa Carlisle // steel// 2011 Napa artist Marissa Carlisle created 'Returning…The Dream Journey' to reflect her interests in anthropology and the study of world cultures. 'The Dream Journey' is culturally specific to Australia. In the piece she includes cabled boomerangs, the wooden toy that always returns to their starting point. She explains, "as the cables sway, they make a harmonic noise similar to the sounds of Australia’s most known musical instrument—the didgeridoo. The bouncing flexibility of the sculpture references kangaroos. And last, the black and white bandings represent Australia’s long journey of integrating its indigenous and modern day cultural heritages." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644285534-MIHOFLDW8QVSX7TL4PBH/2011-13+WEB+Gill+Muckraker-3.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 2. Muckraker by Matt Gil Muckraker// Matt Gil // aluminum, stainless steel, paint// 2008 Matt Gil says he designed 'Muckraker' as a "large vertical monolith shaped like an aircraft" with minimal shapes stacked vertically between open spaces or 'voids'. When discussing the piece (or "Rookie", his other sculpture in this Napa ARTwalk exhibition), he says he was inspired by the modern sculptural language used by, "in particular Donald Judd, as well as Brancusi's work from the early last century", continuing to explain that for him, "Judd’s use of multiple open steel boxes stacked on a wall was a monumental art idea". Gil says he wanted to "build a free-standing outdoor sculpture that was vertical and open; to feel like it was classic yet modern at the same time; to command attention and have an elegant simplicity. I realized after designing and building this piece that it represented my artistic roadblock that I had to break though as an artist to make my own way. I painted (it) black to stand out in the landscape like all the great Calder sculpture". Before it was part of the Napa ARTwalk, "Muckraker" was exhibited in a solo show at Marx & Zavattero Gallery in San Francisco (2010) and at the San Jose Museum of Art (2009). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1472520386245-N6SB9VT5PNJ5KG0S56TF/11-13+WEB+Vader+Stick+Insect-6.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - Spiral Insect by Patricia Vader Spiral Insect Patricia Vader, Martinez, CA wind-activated stainless steel, aluminum Artist Patricia Vader grew up in Holland with windmills and bicycles. These two objects that twist and twirl in the wind are now the driving forces of her sculptures. 'Spiral Insect' got its spiral framework from a discarded kids’ playground structure that Patricia expanded on. It is is made up of 16 windmills that represent the eyes and antennae. The windmills are made out of bicycle wheels with canted disks, which spin in different directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) depending on the direction of the wind and the orientation of the disks. For additional motion effect, the two top pairs of windmills are mounted on bicycle forks which gyrate on their own vertical axis. In the daylight, the unpainted disks reflect the sunlight in spectacular flashes. Come back at night when the eyes—with road reflectors mounted on each disk—light up in car headlights and other light sources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644340196-C48S87197NSQCT7QT5BA/2011-13+WEB+Meza-4.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 3. Air by Ulises Meza Air// Ulises Meza // steel// 2011 Artist Ulises Meza says his sculpture, 'Air', "explores line and movement... I enjoy the lyrical quality of the steel rod. It reminds me of the flowing quality of great line drawings that seem to mesmerize the viewer." Explaining his creative process, Meza says he works as spontaneously as the materials will let him. "It is through the bending and moving of the steel that one begins to appreciate its soft qualities. Composition is a work in progress while creating a piece like this. Each line provides clues to where the next line should be placed..." In terms of subject matter, he is "interested in toys and objects associated with play. I am also interested in examining images that we consider to be nostalgic. The airplanes are toy size but they also represent real objects. It is a disarming image that has a playful aura about it, but it also represents conflict." He chose the specific Corsair and Zero airplanes for the piece to reference WWII. "I find that people have a great nostalgic reaction to objects they perceive to be from that time period. I am interested in the idea of using these toy airplanes to mentally reenact a dog fight in the viewer’s mind." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644330531-M0U6B18N8A8YUJKPFMHI/2011-13+WEB+Madsen.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 4.

As with his other piece in this exhibition, "Muckraker", Gil says he is inspired by the modern sculptural language of artists like Donald Judd and Brancusi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644415904-8D46N8ABHPF5E04K11SO/2011-13+WEB+Vader-6.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 8. Spiral Insect by Patricia Vader Spiral Insect// Patricia Vader// wind-activated stainless steel, aluminum Artist Patricia Vader grew up in Holland with windmills and bicycles. These two objects that twist and twirl in the wind are now the driving forces of her sculptures. 'Spiral Insect' got its spiral framework from a discarded kids’ playground structure that Patricia expanded on. It is is made up of 16 windmills that represent the eyes and antennae. The windmills are made out of bicycle wheels with canted disks, which spin in different directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) depending on the direction of the wind and the orientation of the disks. For additional motion effect, the two top pairs of windmills are mounted on bicycle forks which gyrate on their own vertical axis. In the daylight, the unpainted disks reflect the sunlight in spectacular flashes. Come back at night when the eyes—with road reflectors mounted on each disk—light up in car headlights and other light sources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644394636-ODJUWSGGTA6GQOPCHQ2P/2011-13+WEB+Rench-3.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 9. Ta-Dah! by C.J. Rench Ta-Dah! // C.J. Rench// powder-coated mild steel// 2009 Born in Illinois, C.J. Rench began as a self-taught industrial engineer and product designer in the sporting goods industry. Over the course of his career, he has been awarded multiple patents for his innovative designs. In 2005, Rench began work as a full-time sculptor, designing metal sculptures and working mainly with large-scale abstract designs. His past design work and entrepreneurial spirit have had a meaningful impact on his art. He primarily works in stainless and mild steel, ranging in scale from small tabletop sculptures to monumental public installations. Rench has produced dozens of large-scale commission works for public and personal collectors throughout the Pacific Northwest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474591700325-ZHFWR50YJDQYKD2F0MJ0/2011-13+WEB+Murez-2.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 10. Cha Cha Cha by Robin Murez / 2011-2013 PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER Cha Cha Cha// Robin Murez// steel // SOLD CURRENT LOCATION: West side of Napa’s Riverfront near Morimoto. See it here: MAP "ONE, TWO, Cha Cha Cha. ONE, TWO, Cha Cha Cha... it's a familiar rhythm," says artist Robin Murez. To participate in her sculpture, she asks viewers to stand on the footsteps marked “start here. and then "see where the map directs your feet by following the numbers." The viewer themselves then "creates the kinetic motion as they move to the rhythm, alone or with a partner. Enjoy the challenge. Sing the tune. Remember the first time you danced the Cha Cha Cha. Close your eyes. You can be Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers. Let yourself dance on the banks of the Napa River." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1557523349314-0I5TY3HXZW5U5SVK43N4/SOLD+2010-2011+AW+WEB-44.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 11. Fish 'On' by Terence Martin / 2009-2011 PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER Fish 'On' // Terence Martin// mild steel // 2006 // SOLD CURRENT LOCATION: On the Riverfront walkway behind the Napa River Inn See it here: MAP Part of the prize for winning the first People’s Choice Prize (for the 2009-2011 program), ‘FishOn’ remained on view in Napa for two more years. Terence Martin's steel sculpture, "Fish On", was the People's Choice winner for this first Napa ARTwalk program. He made individual scales for the large mouth bass by cutting and joining them together from the inside around an internal steel frame. Then he added color with a blow-torch. The final finish is an automotive-based clear coat, with rainbow pearl additives. Martin says, “600 pounds of metal can talk. Really. It moves, it sings, it's fluid, it's delicate - and the most amazing thing about metal is that it makes PEOPLE talk. And move. Maybe even sing, too.” Martin seeks out environmentally-friendly recycled materials, in addition to using the environment as the inspirational framework for his sculptures. He says his piece "is a multifaceted sculpture that spans generations and cultures. It is art that is accessible to all and exclusive to none. By selecting elements from earth and nature, as well as metaphors for the human experience, the images are at once recognizable and tangible objects that appeal to all walks of life."

Belknap's Bow by Andrew Ferrales Belknap's Bow// Andrew Ferrales// steel, natural rust patina// 2010 Artist Andrew Ferrales describes his piece 'Belknap's Bow' as a "dynamic design in a subtle composition." He says the piece "focuses on negative space and the interaction of the two sculptural forms... implying motion and functionality." Ferrales' process begins on paper as sketches he later develops using a 3-D computer modeling program. After that, he "takes the plans and specifications to the studio where it was all created by hand by rolling, cutting, grinding, and welding." He fabricated the sculpture from sheet steel, which he describes as "an excellent material for translating complex geometric forms from paper into our everyday life." When the form was complete, Ferrales finished it with a natural rust patina to allow steel to show off its beautiful natural quality." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644453887-OSL35NOFIUR51ERVF0OU/2011-13+WEB+Vader+Zischke.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 13. Continuum by Jeff Zischke Continuum// Jeff Zischke// steel// 2009 'Continuum' by Jeff Zischke features eight steel legs that splay out from its center, walking in a continuous line. Zischke says his sculpture "was inspired by the Triskelion, an ancient Greek symbol that represents continual progress. The symbol was displayed on early Greek coins and pottery. It is also integrated into the coat of arms for The Isle of Man." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644268220-RLNWBPCFIX1A3FBMA3T5/2011-13+WEB+Furman-3.jpg 2011-2013 Gallery - 14. Wind Arcs by Eric Furman Wind Arcs// Eric Furman// aluminum, stainless steel fastenings// 2011 Artist Eric Furman says, "We humans are stimuli junkies and I, as an artist, am a seeker of motion. We can’t see the wind, but we can see objects moved by a breeze." He describes his piece, 'Wind Arcs' as "four shades of red, from a dark red vane to an almost pumpkin orange upper arc. It is made completely from aluminum with stainless steel fastenings. Over 20 feet tall, the sculpture weighs less than 120 pounds. Designed to celebrate the futuristic action forms of the 1920s, the three arcs rise 15 feet to support a 12 foot ultra-light wind vane. The springy arcs can sway up to 5 feet at their peak while the vane rotates. The vane itself is fabricated from 13 pieces of bent and riveted aluminum sheet. Weighing only 56 ounces and pivoting on stainless steel ball bearings, it moves easily about a tilted axis in the lightest breeze." He continues saying, "as I watch the vane’s erratic rotation, I wonder, 'How can such constant action be so unpredictable?' To me, the vane’s motion reflects the irrepressible dynamism of human experience. My hope is that you, the viewer, receive as much pleasure from watching Wind Arcs action as I did from creating it." http://www.napaartwalk.org/press-gallery daily 0.75 2024-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1711388859134-8YPFLUJ923CVU254IU2G/image-asset.png Media Coverage Gallery Five art destinations to visit during BottleRock Napa Valley May 18. 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1711388859134-8YPFLUJ923CVU254IU2G/image-asset.png Media Coverage Gallery Five art destinations to visit during BottleRock Napa Valley May 18. 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1711388159109-4BMD3N0FBGGO158J64QA/image-asset.jpeg Media Coverage Gallery Visit California: Check Out Napa Valley’s Free Art Walk Exhibition September 15, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474505505589-VM4CV28GP3ZWPY77VW0D/nv+regsiter+icon.png Media Coverage Gallery Arts advocate Harry Price and sculptor remembered during Art Walk tour https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1564679829760-V8Q6VQMIVGTK7M5Z6IUV/nv%2Bregsiter%2Bicon.png Media Coverage Gallery Art Walk newcomers rolling out onto downtown Napa streets for two-year exhibit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1564680451209-LMI6CPA0E2LRG2KRCB8A/untitled.png Media Coverage Gallery Check Out Napa Valley’s Free Art Walk Exhibition June 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1480451447133-ZB8NFHZ88PHLZMH78KBI/Vacation+Idea+Icon.png Media Coverage Gallery 25 Best Things to Do in Napa Valley https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474503521276-UEULR4MQG4TJDJUMMLHX/huff+post+icon.png Media Coverage Gallery A Tour and A Taste of Napa contributed by BNB Finder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474577681181-62IN1C6ZH5DDYIZTAMLJ/this+is+insider+logo.png Media Coverage Gallery 31 things everyone should do in Napa Valley, according to a local by Cassidy Hopkins https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474509780299-8A73BS9H8DA62QI5ZSDH/Screenshot+2016-09-21+19.02.43.png Media Coverage Gallery Quick and Easy Holiday Getaways to Sonoma and Napa Valley Wine Country by Dana Rebmann https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1557520453610-6NZZ46HBVW18VSA6S3RL/NapaValley-com-LightBG.jpg Media Coverage Gallery Things to do in Downtown Napa: Traveler’s Guide https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474510505097-OFIXWACA4IOVMIFFKL9U/hipmunk+logo.png Media Coverage Gallery Exploring Beyond the Wine in Napa, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474506591062-WCBAZPBJKLBCSXXCN4NH/legendary+nv+icon.jpeg Media Coverage Gallery Napa ARTwalk: An Urban Outdoor Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474504881621-2049OPBV1PYRZU4I96PO/Washington-Post-Logo.jpg Media Coverage Gallery Travel Tickler https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474509548956-BZUS5EO13TQXSWCGE04F/10+best+logo.png Media Coverage Gallery 10Best's Favorite Spots to See Napa Valley's Artsy Side by Dana Rebmann https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474510155482-Z8BA2UP49VZH3P7QFX18/burning+man+journal+logo.jpg Media Coverage Gallery Getting Your Bearings in Wine Country by Peter Bejger https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474507374527-934IY8ZZEI82LLADG6P5/LocalHappeningsMagazine.png Media Coverage Gallery Napa Art Walk -

Squirrel by Colin Selig Squirrel // Colin Selig // repurposed steel propane tank // 2016 // $8,500 “Depending on one’s viewing angle it takes on different animal-like forms. However the most significant shift in perspective takes place when the observer realizes that ‘Squirrel’ was made entirely from a propane tank,” says artist Colin Selig. “Squirrel” is part of a collection of eco-friendly architectural objects including seating, sculpture, planters and bollards designed by the artist. In describing his creative process, Selig says he selects a regionally sourced scrap tank. Then he carefully dissects and reassembles it, with no additional reshaping of the metal, to create an eco-friendly sculpture that contains 99% post-consumer reused content. He says, “Squirrel is intended to inspire its audience to consider new possibilities for reusing materials and help conserve our planet’s dwindling natural resources.” SALES INFO: This work is available for sale through the Napa Art Walk program. 10% of all sales made during the exhibition support future Napa Art Walk exhibitions.

Color Molecules 2 by Helle Scharling-Todd Color Molecules 2 // Helle Scharling-Todd // powder coated steel, glass // 2010 // $15,000 Helle Scharling Todd designed “Color Molecules” as “an homage to the small entities in life, ‘the molecules’”. In her work, she says, she uses the abstract shapes of circles and semicircles as forms and then adds the different colors in glass to further convey her concept of molecules. She chose to make this abstract sculpture to show the viewer what we cannot see with our eyes; to help us shift into the “micro world”, which she considers “just as big an importance as the macro world… (and can be) also more interesting, because you have to use your imagination to understand it.” SALES INFO: This work is available for sale through the Napa Art Walk program. 10% of all sales made during the exhibition support future Napa Art Walk exhibitions.

Solar Flare (from chaos to symmetry) by Patricia Vader Solar Flare (from chaos to symmetry) // Patricia Vader // steel, aluminum // 2015 // $10,000 Napa Art Walk alum Patricia Vader created this piece by “carefully selecting 36 pieces out of a chaotic pile of bicycle wheels.” For the top half of the sculpture she describes as a “a silvery sun perched atop a copper pedestal or fireworks burst being shot from a cannon. Consider that the sun is not in fact a simple sphere with a well-defined edge as we tend to see it when it rises or sets but a broiling chaotic self-gravitating mass with flares shooting out from its surface.” To symbolize this flare activity, Vader attached the larger wheels to a thick central rim while allowing the other, smaller wheels to turn freely. Patricia grew up in Holland and says the smaller wheels remind her of “windmills that spin in the slightest breeze”. In terms of perspective, Vader explains that, “viewing the work from the front, we see an arresting image of perfect symmetry”. However, from the side, “we see what it takes to make this symmetry: a chaotic jumble of spokes - that will appeal to anyone stoked about spokes!” Photo by Infinity Visuals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1491936317662-7CD18OMS3DTUN141W7EA/1.view1+Strength+Together+Babcock.jpg 2017-2019 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1507331032633-W3XOXAJ8SAGHOSDCXN8C/2017-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_Jamie+Burnes.jpg 2017-2019 Gallery - 8. Wisdom of Decay by James Burnes Wisdom of Decay // James Burnes // corten steel, cedar, stainless steel armature // 2017 Jamie is intrigued with mixing materials, some natural and some man-made. His work is about taking a deeper look at the natural world to recognize our deep connection to it. His real hope is that the works evoke multiple feelings. “Every person will see differently and from a different light. Sometimes a work can look sharp and angry, and at other times the same piece can seem soft and life like. It is the same phenomenon as when a word loses its meaning by being repeated over and over; after a long time of looking at my sculpture, the subject might fade and morph so people might relate more to the materials, colors and negative spaces.” Photo by Infinity Visuals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1538416857556-MKC3VQ6CBM1KKBA1M40A/2017-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_0015+%281%29.jpg 2017-2019 Gallery - 9. Bone Totem by Eileen Fitz-Faulkner Bone Totem // Eileen Fitz-Faulkner // concrete, steel, fiberglass, ceramic, concrete stain // 2017 Inspired by North Coast Indigenous totem poles, Eileen Fitz-Faulkner wanted to explore the idea of structure, balance and shape in her work and in the human body. She says that the imagery for “Bone Totem” came from “thinking of our skeleton and how our bones move and change. They contain the stories of our lives. From afar, one might notice the white overall shape (of “Bone Totem”), but as you come closer, the various pieces take on a more individual appearance. http://www.napaartwalk.org/photo-archive-gallery daily 0.75 2017-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727666387-VAEKAPQLFT3YHGP55EPV/09-11+WEB+Burnell+4.jpg Photo Archive Gallery - Bird by Riis Burwell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727666387-VAEKAPQLFT3YHGP55EPV/09-11+WEB+Burnell+4.jpg Photo Archive Gallery - Bird by Riis Burwell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727666339-CKRK7LPVN2ON5T45E6YI/09-11+WEB+Falkehayn+1.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727666527-2PVM3INAVA3F1HXW9PNM/09-11+WEB+Falkehayn+3.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727688980-PSQBH521MT9LO3Z50AN2/09-11+WEB+Fitz-Gerald+4.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727704422-K887BVNRJZSSOL4QQ4S4/09-11+WEB+Litman+5.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727721821-47EON7IDXB9Z3321XE1T/09-11+WEB+Zamora+1.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727733886-AWPNMAP374USTDJNVQ38/09-11+WEB+Zamora+4.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727733292-MKM9MCYP5UY3JIZR2XZA/09-11+WEB+Zamora+5.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727733844-JDWIRC1V1K5ULKR3XF43/09-11+WEB+Zamora+6.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727764363-RZJJEVLXM03AOA6PGDTC/October+2011+025.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727776919-CQMZ4BO97FB8KHINUODP/11-13+WEB+Carlisle-1.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727776892-UXMV9R1DEL0VKSEAIUEO/11-13+WEB+Carlisle-2.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727790434-IMBEE3O8D1FU0P0FO44Q/11-13+WEB+Ferrales-3.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727790613-9VEU64DN7D34KFXL7FVO/11-13+WEB+Ferrales-4.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727806523-VKTWNPR0U2JSEHEMX6B6/11-13+WEB+Furman-3.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727816330-Z80OZ4QALCHUFY1IG5QO/11-13+WEB+Gil+Muckraker-4.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727840795-TCO3AH4JNO21D7OT76L6/11-13+WEB+Haire-2.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727841040-F9P0C28NRLIG1ZCAYW6P/11-13+WEB+Haire-3.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727873626-B8E8IHO2GDH104L6WJX0/11-13+WEB+Murez-3.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727890055-10YCG26DXHT9I1LO0D09/11-13+WEB+Murez-4.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492727904142-IGTYKIZEFP4HGXLBPSGE/11-13+WEB+Rench-2.jpg Photo Archive Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1492798919972-H1K7EIFHN8KTNQGN5I0O/11-13+WEB+Zischke-2.jpg Photo Archive Gallery - Jeff Zischke http://www.napaartwalk.org/20192021-gallery daily 0.75 2020-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1562790298880-7IT9IP3FL0HJ0A1BZQW2/2019-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_0002+%281%29.jpg 2019-2021 Gallery - 1. ! by Jann Nunn ! // Jann Nunn // powder-coated stainless steel // 2019 “The illusion of sticks randomly tossed into the air to form an exclamation point is created with 1200 slightly curved ¼” stainless steel rods.

Reconstruite by Danette Landy Reconstruite // Danette Landry // bronze on steel plate // 2017 “My sculptures work are a constant reconstruction and materialization of one’s self. This force is represented in my bronze totems. Each totem has a gender, and individually they carry a variety of wounds analogous to those found in humanity. The feminine totems depict resilience and strength through a complex stacking of very small geometric plates. The masculine totems portray a physical and emotional weight bearing a similarity to geological elements with smooth eroded lines and rock-like features.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1564603097929-6IOC48KQKKYG9ZYH8ATB/JDqVKl-y.jpeg 2019-2021 Gallery - 5.

Transcendent by Brian Hutsebout Transcendent // Brian Hutsebout // steel, cedar, copper // 2016 “‘Transcendent’ draws inspiration from the boundless energy that flows through nature, a dance-like vitality. The tall height of this piece evokes an impressive presence, slightly larger than human-scale. It relates to the body in its form, yet emphasizes Nature’s grandeur. In contrast, the industrial materials bound tightly together reflect the rapidity of mass-production and overconsumption of natural resources. My intention to leave certain components vulnerable to the elements highlights the effects of the environment in which it is displayed, creating an opportunity in which nature can respond to industry.” http://www.napaartwalk.org/2021-2023artwalk daily 0.75 2023-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1630031309688-GQ3RL10CUR9C2F1WSMZH/Screen+Shot+2021-08-19+at+4.45.16+PM.png 2021-2023 Art Walk -

1. Firebird by Oleg Lobykin Firebird // Oleg Lobykin // powder-coated fiberglass // 2013 // $18,000 Interested in the origins of life, artist Oleg Lobykin created "Firebird" to explore what he calls the "almost chaotic 'cellular soup' of bubble-like shapes formed during the mysterious process of transformation". He says he expresses his interest in molecular structure "in a vocabulary of streamlined arcs and curves, free lines, metamorphic sub-structures, and sensations of light and levitation." As part of the 7th Annual Oakwilde Ranch Sculpture Show, "Firebird" also won the award for Best in Show.

Taffeta by Reven Swanson Taffeta // Reven Swanson // powder-coated steel // 2012 // $15,000 Reven Swanson says her sculpture, “Taffeta”, is inspired by a traditional sewing technique used to create a skirt waistband. As she explains, "Women have a long tradition and silent history in how we pass experience and knowledge through generations. My Grandmother taught me how to bake cinnamon rolls. My Aunt Laura taught me to knit. I buy a certain laundry detergent because that’s what my Mom insists is the best."

Untitled (Linear Form I-Beam Series, LF-17-00/10) by John G. Luebtow Untitled (Linear Form I-Beam Series, LF-17-00/10) // John Luebtow // glass, stainless base, steel I-Beam // 2000 SOLD to private collector during exhibition John G. Luebtow created this sculpture, "Untitled," in 2000 as one of a series of Linear Form I-Beam sculptures. It stands 10 feet tall and is made from 1” thick annealed glass, stainless steel, and a steel I-Beam. Luebtow chose to work with five pieces of annealed glass, formed by an undulating kiln, to mimic the movement of water. The steel I-Beam supporting the glass is meant to echo the confines of movement made by a riverbank. Luebtow’s investigation of linear forms is common throughout his body of work. While his sculptures are technically controlled, he often plays with scale and movement within the work to create visually imposing structures that encourage the viewer’s own self-reflections. In Untitled, the manipulated glass, representing the river, allows the viewer to see Luebtow’s playful investigation of line and movement. In his piece, the glass, similar to water, reflects its environment and its viewing audience, allowing all on-lookers the chance to catch a glimpse of themselves within Luebtow’s simulated river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623450402-13WP1MDHVDS6ZZGNGGI8/2010-2011+AW+WEB-15.jpg 2009-2011 Celebrating the Napa River - 2. Beetle Shadow by John King Beetle Shadow // John King, Eureka // concrete // 2002 'Beetle Shadow' stands 6 feet tall and is made from concrete, with in-layed fossils. King’s work is greatly influenced by evolution and the cycle of life. In this sculpture, King focused specifically on capturing a forgotten moment in time, using various aquatic and other types of fossil images to depict the impermanence of life. As he explains, “Time flows forward and moves on, leaving shadows from the past.” King is interested in atomic exploration and the chemical restructuring of the universe and often explores these ideas and the Earth’s genetic heritage in his work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623531592-5T6XX1UEOIL30QJOQ3UR/2010-2011+AW+WEB-12.jpg 2009-2011 Celebrating the Napa River - 3. Skiff by Eric Powell Skiff // Eric Powell // steel // 2010 Eric Powell's sculpture depicts the iconic form of a river-going vessel crafted by civilizations from around the world, including the Wappo tribe native to the Napa Valley. Powell says, "the ribs of the vessel evoke forms from the human body, revealing how design is so often inspired by nature. The open pods that live inside the vessel represent the living pulse of the body and of the river, as well as passengers on their river journey. " Powell explains that he "designs and fabricates unique contemporary metal sculpture for both public spaces and private commissions, from unique gates and sculpture to large-scale public art projects." For over 20 years, he has "developed an intimate knowledge of the unique properties of metal and have found that despite its resistance to change, it is infinitely malleable. Through a process that requires both discipline and flexibility, steel and bronze can come to exist in a multitude of forms that exude strength and durability." He considers his studio is a laboratory, a workshop and a factory. "It is a place to learn and teach and to refine and deepen the sacred act of making something with one’s own hands." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623624018-G4GKZMIY3WXXYG6LMSCO/2010-2011+AW+WEB-26.jpg 2009-2011 Celebrating the Napa River - 4. Napa River Stele by Ann Shelby Valentine Napa River Stele // Ann Shelby Valentine // pique assiette mosaic // 2010 Artist Ann Shelby Valentine says that "from a distance, the bold composition of The Napa River Stele depicts the continual line of the Napa River: from snow fed streams on the five peaks of Mt. St. Helena to its tawny flow into San Pablo Bay." But up close, her pique assiette mosaic "depicts infinite details including wildlife and fields of native wildflowers, especially a Matilija poppy, California poppies and the recently restored sticky yellow monkey flower near the old Silverado Mine." Valentine's 'Stele' celebrates the Napa River as it winds down the length of Napa Valley past the Calistoga Geyser, numerous vineyards, indigenous Wappo village sites, the historic Bale Grist Mill, vibrant tourism (represented by hot air balloons), the maritime heritage of Mare Island and restored marshland habitat with pickleweed and mosquitoes plus returning steelhead and salmon." She says she repurposed a "great variety of shards of china, pottery, tile and objets trouvés - all recycled, 'rescued-from-the-dump', salvaged material prized for its potential to still bring many years of visual delight." The piece is made of cement materials, over a lightweight core and rebar. Valentine asks the viewer to "see if you can find: a frog; a wine bottle; a cherub’s head; a girl’s head with a purple bonnet; cup handles (there are 2); a teapot spout; a turtle; little fish (there are 3); a whale; a pot lid; a bowl bottom; a bird figurine; a swan figurine; a bear; an owl; a duck’s head." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623713288-F6ITXRYRJ5A89HWNXL7J/2010-2011+AW+WEB-24.jpg 2009-2011 Celebrating the Napa River - 5. Homage to Our Native Roots by Carlos Zamora Homage to Our Native Roots // Carlos Zamora // marble // 2010 Artist Carlos Zamora created two marble totems together entitled, 'Homage to our Native Roots'. He says his piece is meant to "describe a mythical story beginning with the inhabitants of air, earth, and water; creatures that swim, walk, crawl, and fly as they trace our history. Their ideas, memories and interpretations underlie the secrets of life that have been passed down through time." By reinventing traditional forms, such as bowls turned upside down, Zamora challenges the viewer "to see with their hearts," as he puts it. Covered with pre-Columbian symbols, Zamora wants to "relay the messages of beings who lived in the splendor of the past" In these totems, Zamora seeks to "give these beautiful designs rebirth in physical representation again." To find these huge blocks of marble, he went to the mines of Selva Alegre, Ecuador. Sculpting each stone with total focus and reverent care, he returned many times for additional blocks. Looking at the work, the top piece shows an indigenous face "reflecting the sadness and tragedy of his people." He originally designed it to be a fountain, with atomized water emitting a mist from the crown and shooting water up in a rainbow arch, but due to the long installation period, this part of the sculptures remains silent. He says that the two symmetrical birds "represent the unity of life." Image by J.L.

Bird by Riis Burwell Bird // Riis Burwell // bronze, stainless steel // 2005 Riis Burwell says his sculpture “Bird” was inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s sculpture, “Bird in Space,” and by jazz musician Charlie Parker (known affectionately to his fans as 'Bird'). “My sculpture is an exploration – emotional, spiritual and physical of what is both seen and unseen in nature," Burwell explains. "Charlie Parker strove throughout his career to push musical boundaries beyond established limits. His work was forever fluid and free. In 'Bird', the central bronze form symbolically and literally grows out of the constraints of its surrounding environment, much as a river flows and expands, pushing against the banks that seek to restrain and shape it. Art, nature, and beautiful music provide the sculpture with an ever-abiding link to the natural." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473623922879-YR3XBNQRSOZSX5TW1KTP/2010-2011+AW+WEB-43.jpg 2009-2011 Celebrating the Napa River - 7. Chinook Resurrection by Adrian Litman Chinook Resurrection // Adrian Litman // brushed aluminum, steel // 2010 Artist Adrian Litman created 'Chinook Resurrection' in 2010.

He created the final shape with anodized aluminum 'skins' that have been riveted on to the steel body.

Fish 'On' by Terence Martin / PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER Fish 'On' // Terence Martin // mild steel // 2006 // SOLD CURRENT LOCATION: On the Riverfront walkway behind the Napa River Inn See it here: MAP Terence Martin's steel sculpture, "Fish On", was the People's Choice winner for this first Napa ARTwalk program. He made individual scales for the large mouth bass by cutting and joining them together from the inside around an internal steel frame. Then he added color with a blow-torch. The final finish is an automotive-based clear coat, with rainbow pearl additives. Martin says, “600 pounds of metal can talk. Really. It moves, it sings, it's fluid, it's delicate - and the most amazing thing about metal is that it makes PEOPLE talk. And move. Maybe even sing, too.” Martin seeks out environmentally-friendly recycled materials, in addition to using the environment as the inspirational framework for his sculptures. He says his piece "is a multifaceted sculpture that spans generations and cultures. It is art that is accessible to all and exclusive to none. By selecting elements from earth and nature, as well as metaphors for the human experience, the images are at once recognizable and tangible objects that appeal to all walks of life."

Via Regia by Stephen Fitz-Gerald Via Regia // Stephen Fitz-Gerald // stainless steel // 2006 Inspired by Sigmund Freud’s statement that, "Dreams are the royal road to the subconscious," artist Stephen Fitz-Gerald created his steel sculpture, "Via Regia," meaning "royal road" in Latin. Fitz-Gerald says it is an homage to his own dreams, explaining that "in the field of dream interpretation, smooth, flowing rivers indicate the promise of pleasure and prosperity." He continues to explain that "Via Regia", resting alongside the Napa River, creates a harmonious duality of two royal roads: one steel and one water, both of which lead to a new and unexplored futures. Fitz-Gerald is the son of master sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald, who has remained his greatest creative influence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473624358617-V9VX9XS6JH37BEFQTTVP/2010-2011+AW+WEB-23.jpg 2009-2011 Celebrating the Napa River - 10. The Throne by Nicky Falkenhayn The Throne // Nicky Falkenhayn // cor-ten steel, stacked glass // 2008 Artist Nicky Falkenhayn used rusty Cor-ten steel and cut stacked glass to create 'The Throne'. Both are favorite sculpture materials for Falkenhayn, based on their "elegant natural colors." She says that she “truly enjoys molten metal sparks flying about when welding or grinding steel. Figuring out the engineering of a sculpture is equally satisfying to me as making it. 'The Throne' was designed to be a 'Royal Seat' to celebrate the meeting point of water, sky and earth." The placement of "The Throne," overlooking the Napa River, allows and encourages viewers to view the local landscape in an entirely new way while seated on the sculpture. Falkenhayn says she strives for "simplicity, grace, and harmony in both her own space and in her work." Image by J.L.

Returning... the Dream Journey by Marissa Carlisle Returning.. the dream journey// Marissa Carlisle // steel// 2011 Napa artist Marissa Carlisle created 'Returning…The Dream Journey' to reflect her interests in anthropology and the study of world cultures. 'The Dream Journey' is culturally specific to Australia. In the piece she includes cabled boomerangs, the wooden toy that always returns to their starting point. She explains, "as the cables sway, they make a harmonic noise similar to the sounds of Australia’s most known musical instrument—the didgeridoo. The bouncing flexibility of the sculpture references kangaroos. And last, the black and white bandings represent Australia’s long journey of integrating its indigenous and modern day cultural heritages." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644285534-MIHOFLDW8QVSX7TL4PBH/2011-13+WEB+Gill+Muckraker-3.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 2. Muckraker by Matt Gil Muckraker// Matt Gil // aluminum, stainless steel, paint// 2008 Matt Gil says he designed 'Muckraker' as a "large vertical monolith shaped like an aircraft" with minimal shapes stacked vertically between open spaces or 'voids'. When discussing the piece (or "Rookie", his other sculpture in this Napa ARTwalk exhibition), he says he was inspired by the modern sculptural language used by, "in particular Donald Judd, as well as Brancusi's work from the early last century", continuing to explain that for him, "Judd’s use of multiple open steel boxes stacked on a wall was a monumental art idea". Gil says he wanted to "build a free-standing outdoor sculpture that was vertical and open; to feel like it was classic yet modern at the same time; to command attention and have an elegant simplicity. I realized after designing and building this piece that it represented my artistic roadblock that I had to break though as an artist to make my own way. I painted (it) black to stand out in the landscape like all the great Calder sculpture". Before it was part of the Napa ARTwalk, "Muckraker" was exhibited in a solo show at Marx & Zavattero Gallery in San Francisco (2010) and at the San Jose Museum of Art (2009). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644340196-C48S87197NSQCT7QT5BA/2011-13+WEB+Meza-4.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 3. Air by Ulises Meza Air// Ulises Meza // steel// 2011 Artist Ulises Meza says his sculpture, 'Air', "explores line and movement... I enjoy the lyrical quality of the steel rod. It reminds me of the flowing quality of great line drawings that seem to mesmerize the viewer." Explaining his creative process, Meza says he works as spontaneously as the materials will let him. "It is through the bending and moving of the steel that one begins to appreciate its soft qualities. Composition is a work in progress while creating a piece like this. Each line provides clues to where the next line should be placed..." In terms of subject matter, he is "interested in toys and objects associated with play. I am also interested in examining images that we consider to be nostalgic. The airplanes are toy size but they also represent real objects. It is a disarming image that has a playful aura about it, but it also represents conflict." He chose the specific Corsair and Zero airplanes for the piece to reference WWII. "I find that people have a great nostalgic reaction to objects they perceive to be from that time period. I am interested in the idea of using these toy airplanes to mentally reenact a dog fight in the viewer’s mind." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644330531-M0U6B18N8A8YUJKPFMHI/2011-13+WEB+Madsen.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 4. Nobori by Loren Madsen Nobori// Loren Madsen // pine, fir, various hardwoods// 2010 A 'nobori' is a type of samurai battle flag which carried circles and lines as instructions for the troops in the field. Loren Madsen says his sculpture of the same name "plays with the ideas of flags and symbols and emulates the motions of the flags and banners". This two-piece sculpture is made of pine with redwood, purple heart and walnut inlays and splints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644446528-2E4N8R0JSQC40USBRVZ6/2011-13+WEB+Vader+Sunflower-3.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 5. Napa Sunflower by Patricia Vader Napa Sunflower// Patricia Vader// wind-activated stainless steel, aluminum// 2011 Growing up in Holland, artist Patricia Vader woke up each morning to her poster of Van Gogh’s sunflowers. Her childhood memories, as well as the sunflower garden at her own home (now in the Bay Area), inspired her to create what she calls "a genetically engineered variety of the flower... a purely mechanical version". She built her sunflowers as "eight windmills made out of bicycle wheels with canted disks" and mounted road reflectors on the wheels to flare up at night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474591635426-9XCV7RMOX5MTZMEL1W4T/2011-13+WEB+Haire.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 6. Freewheelin' by James Haire Freewheelin' // James Haire// bronze, stainless steel// 1991 SOLD during exhibition to private collector Artist James Haire constructed his piece, 'Freewheelin', a life-size sculpture of a woman riding a bike, out of bronze and stainless steel. He says, "while the sculpture has no moving parts, there is still a feeling of movement in the piece by the absence of spokes in the wheels." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644294171-J7213PO8AANLLWBYVTS9/2011-13+WEB+Gill+Rookie-2.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 7. Rookie by Matt Gil Rookie// Matt Gil// aluminum, stainless steel fastenings// 2010 'Rookie' artist Matt Gil says, "when I design a sculpture I do not have a title in mind for it. I personally fabricate all my work in my studio in San Francisco and display it for a while in my studio sculpture garden. I look at it for a while and then realize what it means to me." As with his other piece in this exhibition, "Muckraker", Gil says he is inspired by the modern sculptural language of artists like Donald Judd and Brancusi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644415904-8D46N8ABHPF5E04K11SO/2011-13+WEB+Vader-6.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 8. Spiral Insect by Patricia Vader Spiral Insect// Patricia Vader// wind-activated stainless steel, aluminum Artist Patricia Vader grew up in Holland with windmills and bicycles. These two objects that twist and twirl in the wind are now the driving forces of her sculptures. 'Spiral Insect' got its spiral framework from a discarded kids’ playground structure that Patricia expanded on. It is is made up of 16 windmills that represent the eyes and antennae. The windmills are made out of bicycle wheels with canted disks, which spin in different directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) depending on the direction of the wind and the orientation of the disks. For additional motion effect, the two top pairs of windmills are mounted on bicycle forks which gyrate on their own vertical axis. In the daylight, the unpainted disks reflect the sunlight in spectacular flashes. Come back at night when the eyes—with road reflectors mounted on each disk—light up in car headlights and other light sources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644394636-ODJUWSGGTA6GQOPCHQ2P/2011-13+WEB+Rench-3.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 9. Ta-Dah! by C.J. Rench Ta-Dah! // C.J. Rench// powder-coated mild steel// 2009 Born in Illinois, C.J. Rench began as a self-taught industrial engineer and product designer in the sporting goods industry. Over the course of his career, he has been awarded multiple patents for his innovative designs. In 2005, Rench began work as a full-time sculptor, designing metal sculptures and working mainly with large-scale abstract designs. His past design work and entrepreneurial spirit have had a meaningful impact on his art. He primarily works in stainless and mild steel, ranging in scale from small tabletop sculptures to monumental public installations. Rench has produced dozens of large-scale commission works for public and personal collectors throughout the Pacific Northwest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1474591700325-ZHFWR50YJDQYKD2F0MJ0/2011-13+WEB+Murez-2.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 10.

See it here: MAP "ONE, TWO, Cha Cha Cha. ONE, TWO, Cha Cha Cha... it's a familiar rhythm," says artist Robin Murez. To participate in her sculpture, she asks viewers to stand on the footsteps marked “start here. and then "see where the map directs your feet by following the numbers." The viewer themselves then "creates the kinetic motion as they move to the rhythm, alone or with a partner. Enjoy the challenge. Sing the tune. Remember the first time you danced the Cha Cha Cha. Close your eyes. You can be Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers. Let yourself dance on the banks of the Napa River." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1557523349314-0I5TY3HXZW5U5SVK43N4/SOLD+2010-2011+AW+WEB-44.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 11. Fish 'On' by Terence Martin / 2009-2011 PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER Fish 'On' // Terence Martin// mild steel // 2006 // SOLD CURRENT LOCATION: On the Riverfront walkway behind the Napa River Inn See it here: MAP Part of the prize for winning the first People’s Choice Prize (for the 2009-2011 program), ‘FishOn’ remained on view in Napa for two more years. Terence Martin's steel sculpture, "Fish On", was the People's Choice winner for this first Napa ARTwalk program. He made individual scales for the large mouth bass by cutting and joining them together from the inside around an internal steel frame. Then he added color with a blow-torch. The final finish is an automotive-based clear coat, with rainbow pearl additives. Martin says, “600 pounds of metal can talk. Really. It moves, it sings, it's fluid, it's delicate - and the most amazing thing about metal is that it makes PEOPLE talk. And move. Maybe even sing, too.” Martin seeks out environmentally-friendly recycled materials, in addition to using the environment as the inspirational framework for his sculptures. He says his piece "is a multifaceted sculpture that spans generations and cultures. It is art that is accessible to all and exclusive to none. By selecting elements from earth and nature, as well as metaphors for the human experience, the images are at once recognizable and tangible objects that appeal to all walks of life."

Belknap's Bow by Andrew Ferrales Belknap's Bow// Andrew Ferrales// steel, natural rust patina// 2010 Artist Andrew Ferrales describes his piece 'Belknap's Bow' as a "dynamic design in a subtle composition." He says the piece "focuses on negative space and the interaction of the two sculptural forms... implying motion and functionality." Ferrales' process begins on paper as sketches he later develops using a 3-D computer modeling program. After that, he "takes the plans and specifications to the studio where it was all created by hand by rolling, cutting, grinding, and welding." He fabricated the sculpture from sheet steel, which he describes as "an excellent material for translating complex geometric forms from paper into our everyday life." When the form was complete, Ferrales finished it with a natural rust patina to allow steel to show off its beautiful natural quality." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644453887-OSL35NOFIUR51ERVF0OU/2011-13+WEB+Vader+Zischke.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 13. Continuum by Jeff Zischke Continuum// Jeff Zischke// steel// 2009 'Continuum' by Jeff Zischke features eight steel legs that splay out from its center, walking in a continuous line. Zischke says his sculpture "was inspired by the Triskelion, an ancient Greek symbol that represents continual progress. The symbol was displayed on early Greek coins and pottery. It is also integrated into the coat of arms for The Isle of Man." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473644268220-RLNWBPCFIX1A3FBMA3T5/2011-13+WEB+Furman-3.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) - 14. Wind Arcs by Eric Furman Wind Arcs// Eric Furman// aluminum, stainless steel fastenings// 2011 Artist Eric Furman says, "We humans are stimuli junkies and I, as an artist, am a seeker of motion. We can’t see the wind, but we can see objects moved by a breeze." He describes his piece, 'Wind Arcs' as "four shades of red, from a dark red vane to an almost pumpkin orange upper arc. It is made completely from aluminum with stainless steel fastenings. Over 20 feet tall, the sculpture weighs less than 120 pounds. Designed to celebrate the futuristic action forms of the 1920s, the three arcs rise 15 feet to support a 12 foot ultra-light wind vane. The springy arcs can sway up to 5 feet at their peak while the vane rotates. The vane itself is fabricated from 13 pieces of bent and riveted aluminum sheet. Weighing only 56 ounces and pivoting on stainless steel ball bearings, it moves easily about a tilted axis in the lightest breeze." He continues saying, "as I watch the vane’s erratic rotation, I wonder, 'How can such constant action be so unpredictable?' To me, the vane’s motion reflects the irrepressible dynamism of human experience. My hope is that you, the viewer, receive as much pleasure from watching Wind Arcs action as I did from creating it." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1473642445048-CGJ65SQEGMKZE5BMEB15/2011-13+WEB+COVER+Cha+Cha.jpg 2011-2013 Momentum: Art that Moves (Us) Visitors try out interactive piece, "Cha Cha Cha" by Robin Muez, winner of the 2011-13 People's Choice Award.

Featuring colorful, abstracted shapes, their sculpture plays with themes of evolution. They explain their process: "After (we) render the images, (we) reproduce each section directly onto sheet metal, cut it out and then weld the two-dimensional shapes into three dimensional sculptures". They say their sculpture "is meant to represent the tree of life as told in numerous creation stories. As the viewer walks around the sculpture, they will notice the transition of colors from cool purples and blues to bright pinks and oranges, meant to signify a transition from day to night."

Strength Together by Gabe Babcock Strength Together // Gabe Babcock // redwood, stone, steel // 2017// $18,000 Gabe Babcock describes this sculpture as 'balanced tension'. He explains, "From afar, the stone's levitating appearance draws the viewer closer. The stone is locked within the geometry while simultaneously acting as the keystone. It forces the viewer to slow down, observe, and question what is central; or ask, which piece is supporting the other? This frozen moment of chaos offers a revolving experience that leads the viewer to understand that everything a matter of perspective."

Squirrel by Colin Selig Squirrel // Colin Selig // repurposed steel propane tank // 2016 // $8,500 “Depending on one’s viewing angle it takes on different animal-like forms. However the most significant shift in perspective takes place when the observer realizes that ‘Squirrel’ was made entirely from a propane tank,” says artist Colin Selig. “Squirrel” is part of a collection of eco-friendly architectural objects including seating, sculpture, planters and bollards designed by the artist. In describing his creative process, Selig says he selects a regionally sourced scrap tank. Then he carefully dissects and reassembles it, with no additional reshaping of the metal, to create an eco-friendly sculpture that contains 99% post-consumer reused content. He says, “Squirrel is intended to inspire its audience to consider new possibilities for reusing materials and help conserve our planet’s dwindling natural resources.” SALES INFO: This work is available for sale through the Napa Art Walk program. 10% of all sales made during the exhibition support future Napa Art Walk exhibitions.

Calic by Mike Suri Calic // Mike Suri // steel, zinc, plastic, acrylic // 2015 // $10,000 Napa Art Walk Alum Mike Suri says he named this abstract metal piece “loosely based on that funny little twist of hair on top of your head.” As the viewer’s visual perspective changes “these forms and arrangements change the way they relate. My intention is for this human scaled work to attract your attention from afar and hold it when close.” SALES INFO: This work is available for sale through the Napa Art Walk program. 10% of all sales made during the exhibition support future Napa Art Walk exhibitions.

Bogenbinder by Mikey Kelly Bogenbinder // Mikey Kelly// powder coated steel // 2014 // $20,000 Mikey Kelly designed "Bogenbinder" with a “wedging and slight twist… (that when viewed in the round) the lines open and close creating densities of varying degrees.

Treasures from the Sea by LT Mustardseed Treasures from the Sea // LT Mustardseed // recycled bicycle parts, resin, steel, automotive paint finish // 2014 Lt Mustardseed says at first glance, her kinetic and interactive piece ‘Treasures from the Sea’ may look like a fish but is actually made of fused bicycle parts. For her Otocast audio tour file, you can hear LT's partner Timari Thorstenson, perform a short sea shanty she wrote and recorded that was inspired by "Treasures from the Sea".

Color Molecules 2 by Helle Scharling-Todd Color Molecules 2 // Helle Scharling-Todd // powder coated steel, glass // 2010 // $15,000 Helle Scharling Todd designed “Color Molecules” as “an homage to the small entities in life, ‘the molecules’”. In her work, she says, she uses the abstract shapes of circles and semicircles as forms and then adds the different colors in glass to further convey her concept of molecules. She chose to make this abstract sculpture to show the viewer what we cannot see with our eyes; to help us shift into the “micro world”, which she considers “just as big an importance as the macro world… (and can be) also more interesting, because you have to use your imagination to understand it.” SALES INFO: This work is available for sale through the Napa Art Walk program. 10% of all sales made during the exhibition support future Napa Art Walk exhibitions.

Solar Flare (from chaos to symmetry) by Patricia Vader Solar Flare (from chaos to symmetry) // Patricia Vader // steel, aluminum // 2015 // $10,000 Napa Art Walk alum Patricia Vader created this piece by “carefully selecting 36 pieces out of a chaotic pile of bicycle wheels.” For the top half of the sculpture she describes as a “a silvery sun perched atop a copper pedestal or fireworks burst being shot from a cannon. Consider that the sun is not in fact a simple sphere with a well-defined edge as we tend to see it when it rises or sets but a broiling chaotic self-gravitating mass with flares shooting out from its surface.” To symbolize this flare activity, Vader attached the larger wheels to a thick central rim while allowing the other, smaller wheels to turn freely. Patricia grew up in Holland and says the smaller wheels remind her of “windmills that spin in the slightest breeze”. In terms of perspective, Vader explains that, “viewing the work from the front, we see an arresting image of perfect symmetry”. However, from the side, “we see what it takes to make this symmetry: a chaotic jumble of spokes - that will appeal to anyone stoked about spokes!” Photo by Infinity Visuals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1507331032633-W3XOXAJ8SAGHOSDCXN8C/2017-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_Jamie+Burnes.jpg VOTE HERE: People's Choice Award - 8. Wisdom of Decay by James Burnes Wisdom of Decay // James Burnes // corten steel, cedar, stainless steel armature // 2017 Jamie is intrigued with mixing materials, some natural and some man-made. His work is about taking a deeper look at the natural world to recognize our deep connection to it. His real hope is that the works evoke multiple feelings. “Every person will see differently and from a different light. Sometimes a work can look sharp and angry, and at other times the same piece can seem soft and life like. It is the same phenomenon as when a word loses its meaning by being repeated over and over; after a long time of looking at my sculpture, the subject might fade and morph so people might relate more to the materials, colors and negative spaces.” Photo by Infinity Visuals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1538416857556-MKC3VQ6CBM1KKBA1M40A/2017-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_0015+%281%29.jpg VOTE HERE: People's Choice Award - 9. Bone Totem by Eileen Fitz-Faulkner Bone Totem // Eileen Fitz-Faulkner // concrete, steel, fiberglass, ceramic, concrete stain // 2017 Inspired by North Coast Indigenous totem poles, Eileen Fitz-Faulkner wanted to explore the idea of structure, balance and shape in her work and in the human body. She says that the imagery for “Bone Totem” came from “thinking of our skeleton and how our bones move and change. They contain the stories of our lives. From afar, one might notice the white overall shape (of “Bone Totem”), but as you come closer, the various pieces take on a more individual appearance. http://www.napaartwalk.org/coming-soon-vote-for-your-favorite-sculpture daily 0.75 2019-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1562790298880-7IT9IP3FL0HJ0A1BZQW2/2019-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_0002+%281%29.jpg Coming Soon: Vote for Your Favorite Sculpture! - 1. ! by Jann Nunn ! // Jann Nunn // powder-coated stainless steel // 2019 “The illusion of sticks randomly tossed into the air to form an exclamation point is created with 1200 slightly curved ¼” stainless steel rods.

Celestial by Eino Celestial // Eino // Brazilian blue quartzite, stainless steel // 2010 “Members of the human race are akin to stars in the sky; each an individual, but all residing in the same “space” that we call the Universe. ‘Celestial’ invites the viewer to step back and see the big picture and to realize that we are all part of a greater whole. A focal point of the sculpture is a “starburst” representing the genesis of humanity; it is positioned near the center of the piece to represent a central point from which everything emanates.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1562791707599-RR6F2M9HA38QEOFSILW7/2019-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_0019.jpg Coming Soon: Vote for Your Favorite Sculpture! - 3. Reconstruite by Danette Landy Reconstruite // Danette Landry // bronze on steel plate // 2017 “My sculptures work are a constant reconstruction and materialization of one’s self. This force is represented in my bronze totems. Each totem has a gender, and individually they carry a variety of wounds analogous to those found in humanity. The feminine totems depict resilience and strength through a complex stacking of very small geometric plates. The masculine totems portray a physical and emotional weight bearing a similarity to geological elements with smooth eroded lines and rock-like features.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1564603097929-6IOC48KQKKYG9ZYH8ATB/JDqVKl-y.jpeg Coming Soon: Vote for Your Favorite Sculpture! - 5.

Take Heart by Patricia Vader Take Heart // Patricia Vader // powder-coated steel, aluminum // 2017 “The heart of this wind driven kinetic sculpture by Patricia Vader spins in both directions in an irregular and unpredictable way that is fun to watch. It epitomizes the unpredictability of life and how we can optimize it with our own positive and generous impulses. A heart is a universal symbol of courage and connectedness that confers a sense of place and well-being, especially at times of natural disasters like floods, earthquakes and fires, all of which pertain to Napa.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1560210222821-OVS95PXCFOUSUJ1906SN/6+Fitz-Falkner.jpg Coming Soon: Vote for Your Favorite Sculpture! - 6. Release by Eileen Fitz-Faulkner Release // Eileen Fitz-Faulkner // concrete, steel, fiberglass // 2015 “I see birds as a mystical conduit of wisdom in the universe. I imagine if we would only listen to these insightful beings, we would know the delicate secrets to life. Release is the third in a series to explore this concept.

Here, she sets the bird free to continue the journey to spread universal truths.“ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1564600250805-5G980YFZPYVWURXFBF8J/2019-Napa_ArtWalk-I8V_0115.jpg Coming Soon: Vote for Your Favorite Sculpture! - 7.

Transcendent by Brian Hutsebout Transcendent // Brian Hutsebout // steel, cedar, copper // 2016 “‘Transcendent’ draws inspiration from the boundless energy that flows through nature, a dance-like vitality. The tall height of this piece evokes an impressive presence, slightly larger than human-scale. It relates to the body in its form, yet emphasizes Nature’s grandeur. In contrast, the industrial materials bound tightly together reflect the rapidity of mass-production and overconsumption of natural resources. My intention to leave certain components vulnerable to the elements highlights the effects of the environment in which it is displayed, creating an opportunity in which nature can respond to industry.” http://www.napaartwalk.org/201719-map daily 0.75 2018-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1516401630530-E572TC15VCK8Z80P0C5S/FINAL+INSIDE+2LU435B1.jpg 2017-19 Map http://www.napaartwalk.org/20192021-sense-ofplace daily 0.75 2020-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1560557652935-JNML10RR9TNWOBORI270/home+page+cluster+2.jpg 2019- 2021 Sense of Place http://www.napaartwalk.org/2017-2019-peoples-choice-award daily 0.75 2019-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1557520954859-LCVNWI6QBR6G990HZCZY/WEB+05.Treasures+from+the+Sea+by+Lt.+Mustardseed.Photo+by+Infinity+Visuals.jpg 2017-2019 People's Choice Award - Treasures from the Sea by Lieutenant Mustardseed recycled bicycle parts, resin, steel, automotive paint finish // 2007 http://www.napaartwalk.org/2021-2023-exhibit daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/1625102355007-4L9YVMOOHEWE3LBVV25Z/Screen+Shot+2021-06-30+at+6.17.19+PM.png 2021 - 2023 Play! http://www.napaartwalk.org/20242026-climate-action-and-sustainability daily 0.75 2025-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57b63630d2b857afcf59b4fa/d033b6a7-0ffe-4d53-93e5-ff93d1f225a4/ArtWalkLogo+Color+Stacked.jpg 2024-2026 Climate Action and Sustainability
