ARTISTS SELECTED FOR THE EINSTEIN PROJECT'S 2010 BUTTERFLIES & FRIENDS ON PARADE

A butterfly painted to look like it is under the sea, complete with a mermaid's tail, a glass mosaic frog and one that is a sundial, a "Viceroy" butterfly, a turtle covered in recycled glass, and a "Summer Bouquet" of vines, flowers and summer creatures, are just several of 30 art pieces that will make the Green Bay community a more interesting place this summer as part of The Einstein Project's 2010 Butterflies & Friends on Parade, presented by Green Bay Packaging and the Schneider National Foundation with support from the Dominion Foundation.

A distinguished panel of eleven judges sorted through many wonderful applications to chose 30 designs for this year's on Parade event. Artists will begin work on the selected projects in the next few weeks and the finished art pieces will be unveiled in June to be placed along the Fox River in downtown Green Bay for public viewing throughout the summer.

On September 28th, the art pieces will be auctioned at the KI Convention Center with all proceeds benefiting The Einstein Project, a non-profit school-business-community partnership dedicated to improving the quality of science education for K-8 students in Wisconsin. Special guest auctioneer will be Action 2 News Anchor Bill Jartz.

"This blend of art and science has continued to be a well-received and much-anticipated event in our community," says Julie Paavola, executive director. "In addition to the pre-cast aluminum butterflies and large fiberglass/resin turtles, we will again have artist-created pieces including cranes, flowers and butterflies that the chosen artists will create from the ground up. This year also sees the addition of mid-size fiberglass/resin frogs and turtles and tabletop sized fiberglass/resign butterflies. The quality of the designs and the artists continue to amaze us, and we are most appreciative of their support."
