Downtown "Get Benched" Art Project 2008

Positively Pewaukee and The Pewaukee Area Arts Council (PAAC) began their first partnership with a downtown art project…Get Benched! Together we worked to bring 11 decorated park benches to be displayed in downtown Pewaukee during the summer of 2008.

While we were off to a soggy start with the flooding in June, we
finally had our grand unveiling and the benches were a part of the summer scene. We have many people that we would like to thank for their part in our first art project.

We would like to thank all the volunteers who came out and put the benches together, who
planted the flowers and who helped us move them when the weather was bad!
