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.
