Campfire Conversation:

Eric and Ana welcome Jillian Talarczyk into The Cabin to discuss public art and some of Wisconsin’s most

notable sculptures. We discuss numerous outdoor sculpture parks and gardens. They include Lynden

Sculpture Garden, which features over 50 artistic monuments across 40 acres; Stevens Point Sculpture

Park, with a variety of sculptures and signs amidst walking trails in the woods; the lovely James Tellen

Woodland Sculpture Garden in Sheboygan; the sometimes controversial, yet beautifully perched

Spillover II sculpture overlooking Lake Michigan in Shorewood; and even the unique Badger sculpture of

the USS Wisconsin in Madison.

Some outdoor parks lean more towards the whimsical to downright mind-boggling, like Dr. Evermor's

Sculpture Park near Sauk City with its wild metal creations surrounding Forevertron, a towering central

feature; Jurustic Park outside Marshfield, with incredible creations in the lush yard of a private residence

where they will happily show you around; and Fred Smith's Concrete Park outside Phillips, which

consists of hardened sculptures made of concrete in a variety of forms, frequently incorporating pieces

of glass for color and accent.

We also discuss indoor museums like the Museum of Woodcarving in Shell Lake and a number of other

sculptures across Wisconsin, from salutes to Native American history to fiberglass creations from a

Sparta company that you can explore in their yard.

Jillian caps it off with an official announcement on the next public art mural in Madison that will be

unveiled on May 18th - listen for it!

After, we went “behind the scenes” for a look at the new Discover Wisconsin Episode covering Carlsville.

Ana, who produced the episode, describes the show and the adventures of Andrea Boehlke and her

sisters as they explore some hidden gems – along with some of the better-known ones – in this little

town in Door County.
