The second annual Perrysburg Sculpture Walk exhibition presented by the Perrysburg Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City will start Sept. 1 and run through August 2023. The sculpture walk is located on the perimeter and entry way of Woodlands Park, 429 E. Boundary St. The exhibit is laid out to be a walking destination in the warm months and a driving destination in the colder months.
The current 17 sculptures will be taken out on Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. The installation of the new 16-piece exhibit will be Wednesday and Thursday from 8 a.m.-noon or a bit later. Artists will be dropping off and picking up their sculptures throughout that time. Sculptor and art installer Mike Sohikian will direct the installation using a telehandler with a reach of over 18 feet supplied by Perrysburg sponsor, Southeastern Equipment.
The new exhibit will feature 16 sculptures by 14 nationally and internationally known artists from Northwest Ohio, Chicago, New York, North Carolina, Michigan and Washington, D.C. The lineup of work includes sculptures that are interactive, kinetic (move with the wind), narrative and whimsical. There will be a surprising variety of mediums that range from high fired clay to cast urethane as well as bronze, flame (hand) cut steel and hand-painted muralistic work.
The artwork was juried by a selection committee which included Brody Walters, Christine Deemer, and Robin Ballmer. Main ART-ery coordinated the Sculpture Walk.

2nd Annual Perrysburg Outdoor Sculpture Walk
Published: August 27, 2022
The city of Perrysburg is showcasing their appreciation of art and their support of hard working artists by hosting their second annual Outdoor Sculpture Walk — an interactive art exhibit that features artwork from nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. The 2022-23 exhibit is hosted by Main ART-ery and includes artwork from artists across the nation.
The Outdoor Sculpture Walk debuted in 2021 and was curated by Robin Ballmer, the Director of Main ART-ery. The exhibit is designed to be accessible to the public throughout the entirety of the year. The artwork is laid out to be a walking destination during the warm months, and a driving destination during the cold months of the year. The artworks are also available to be viewed at night, with LED lights illuminating each of the pieces.
The new lineup of sculptures includes a variety of original artwork of different styles and unique mediums such as clay, urethane, hand-cut steel, bronze, hand painted work, computer generated work and much more. This year’s artwork includes two kinetic works, interactive sculptures and many thought-provoking pieces.
These pieces have come from five different states and include work from many local area artists such as Mark Chatterley, Robert Garcia, James Havens, Shawn Morin, Pam Reithmeier, Mike Sohikian, and Ken Thompson.
Ballman hopes to attract viewers from all around the area to venture out to Perrysburg for this unique outdoor exhibit. “I would like for Perrysburg to become a destination for cultural tourism and have people discover the beauty of the city. For some people the exhibit is an introduction to art and an entryway to appreciate the artwork and the artists,” she said. The artwork for this year’s exhibit will be on display until August 2023 and Ballman encourages everyone to come out and spend time enjoying the exhibit.
