The Big-Arted Bunch is a giving program that supports public art in Langley. It's designed to make monthly donations to the Langley Arts Fund easy; any amount is welcome.
Public art provides Langley with a unique identity and supports our community’s reputation as a Great American Art Town. By signing up for the Big-Arted Bunch, you can effortlessly support art and artists in our community.
As a member of the Big-Arted Bunch, you'll have early access to arts happenings in the City of Langley. You'll also be our guest at an annual thank-you gathering where we'll have some crazy Langley-style fun!
Programs to be supported with funds provided by the Big-Arted Bunch include:
-
The Langley Loaned Sculpture Program. We recently took over from the City of Langley the loaned sculpture program. We raise the funds and administer the program, which provides local sculptors with stipends for the temporary display of their works in downtown Langley. In May 2021, we placed three sculptures in Downtown Langley for two-year rotations.
-
The Utility Box Art Wrap Program. We have launched an effort to wrap unsightly utility boxes in Langley with images created by local artists. The first wrap is located in front of Sweet Mona’s Chocolates, with an image created by Whidbey Island artist Kay Parsons. Thanks to a Call for Artists we managed, more of these eye-catching wraps are on the way!
In the past two years the Langley Arts Fund commissioned and purchased two sculptures that are permanently installed in Downtown Langley. One is Georgia Gerber's "Hope, the Wishing Whale" installed in Whale Bell Park. The other is Wayne Kangas' "Fish Vane #2" installed in Clyde Alley.
