Danville Seeks Artist For Bronze Acorns Sculptures

DANVILLE, CA — Danville loves its oak trees, acorns, and public art installations, so its next project seems a natural fit.

The town is recruiting professional artists from the nine Bay Area counties to apply to create its new public art project, entitled "Acorns of the Old Oak." The installation will feature small, bronze acorn sculptures throughout the downtown to celebrate the Old Oak Tree as a symbol of tradition and strength. The selected artists receive a stipend for a unique acorn design mold, and fabrication and installation costs will be covered by the town.

Artists can apply here before April 4 at 5 p.m.

In the past, Danville has commissioned installations like the Bound for Books project, which installed benches decorated like an open book across town, and community pianos decorated by local students, among others.
