They were last year, but they seemed to hang back a bit. But it's the City Council's commitment to providing public space that may be the most crucial. The idea, Galletta says, is for the Sculpture Jam, which will return next year, to become the city's major public art program. They are excited about having art in Sebastopol and having it be an interesting place to visit and linger and think about. Sculpture Jam takes place Thursday, Oct. 7, from 1 to 7 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the old Diamond Lumber Yard on Sebastopol Plaza.
Admission is free.
