Six-foot nutcrackers from IMAX will be taking over the city of Oshkosh, WI next holiday season as part of a community art project.
The project, “Nutcrackers on the Town”, will pair sponsors and artists to transform 50 life-sized nutcracker statues into works of art that will be on public display for the 2011 holiday season. The statues will be auctioned and the proceeds will benefit a local art center, opera house and arts fund. Each nutcracker can be sponsored for $1,750, with an overall goal of $100,000.
