Central Oregon residents and visitors will find the presence of the exhibit throughout the community with four beaver sculptures occupying community spaces around the region. Why is public art a part of this exhibit? We want to share the wonder of the Museum and so much more!

  • The 4-foot beavers will foster an appreciation of wildlife and a sense of place.

  • The artwork spread through the community will inspire dialogue beyond the walls of the High Desert Museum.

  • Public art makes art accessible.

  • These unique sculptures will enhance community spaces during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.
