Seven on-loan temporary sculptures throughout downtown will be in Auburn for only four more months before they are taken down and returned to each artist.

In recognition, the Downtown Sculpture Gallery’s People’s Choice voting continues through the City of Auburn’s Arts and Events website and in person at City Hall, 25 W. Main St.

In August the votes will be tallied and the artwork with the most votes may be purchased to become a part of Auburn’s public art collection and displayed permanently.

The majority of votes have been received online, where visitors can see real-time results.

The latest polls have Lin Rebolini McJunkin’s “Riparian Totem” in the lead with 224 Votes (34 percent), followed by Ken Hall’s “Chakra” with 178 votes (27 percent) and Dan Klennert’s “Road Runner” with 109 votes (17 percent).

The City’s Arts Commission selected the artists, who also include Nicky Falkenhayn, Kris Vermeer, Leo E. Osborn and Mark Stevenson.

Voting and information on each of the sculptures and artists is available at www.auburnwa.gov/arts and the “Downtown Sculpture Gallery” link on the left side.
