Summit Public Art - Bringing art to public spaces in Summit.

A Special Thank You to the Summit Foundation!

Summit Public Art extends its deepest gratitude to the Summit Foundation The Summit Foundation for its generous 2026 grant, which enables us to continue bringing art into public spaces throughout our wonderful city.

For years, the Summit Foundation has played an extraordinary role in enriching our community by supporting organizations and initiatives that make Summit such a vibrant place to live, work, and gather.

Because of their continued support and generosity, Summit Public Art is able to commission and install public artworks that inspire, bring people together, and make our shared spaces more vibrant and welcoming.

On behalf of Summit Public Art, our artists, volunteers, and the entire community, thank you for believing in the power of public art and for being such an invaluable partner in helping us bring this vision to life.

Welcome to Summit, Double Rainbow!

We’re excited to share this breathtaking willow installation by James J Roberts , now on view in front of the Summit Train Station

Woven from native willows and invasive plants harvested nearby, this immersive sculpture is a beautiful example of how art and nature can come together in unexpected ways.

Thank you to the artist, James Roberts and everyone who helped make this installation possible. We can’t wait for our community to enjoy it.

Be sure to stop by, take a walk beneath the arches, and experience it for yourself.

Tag us when you visit—we’d love to see your photos!

A little summer magic in the heart of Summit.

“Pleiades” by

Stop by the Promenade Fountain and watch Pleiades come alive as it shifts with the changing light and colors throughout the day. While you’re there, enjoy the refreshing fountain on a warm summer day.

SAVE THE DATE 🎨

It’s back!

Last year, over 100 artists came together to transform our community with an incredible display of creativity, color, and talent. And this year, we’re doing it again.

Mark your calendars and get ready to discover, collect, and celebrate local art.

Sharing a glimpse from last year’s event. As for what’s in store this year… you’ll have to come see for yourself.

More details coming soon. Stay tuned!

If your kids are coming home from school with beautiful artwork inspired by our public art, you know that Art in the Classroom (AITC) is back.

This program introduces our little ones to the public art featured around town, helping them see and connect with it in meaningful ways.

We’re grateful to the members of the Summit Public Art Committee who visit local elementary schools, sharing their knowledge and guiding students through fun, creative projects inspired by the art across Summit.

It’s been an amazing experience to watch their eyes light up when they recognize a piece from around town—sharing stories of when they saw it and who they were with on their trips downtown.

A powerful new addition has found its place in our town—just in time for Earth Day 🌍

Commissioned by Summit Public Art, this striking piece honors the spirit of renewal, responsibility, and creativity that Earth Day represents.

Created by Nigerian artist Eugene Ebipade Kenboye, it’s made from discarded flip-flops and Crocs—once waste, now transformed into something meaningful and beautiful.

It’s a reminder: what we throw away doesn’t disappear… it just changes form. And in the right hands, it can become art that speaks.

Take a moment to see it up close, reflect, and maybe even rethink the everyday things we leave behind.

It’s here…

Our latest art addition…Eugene Konboye’s piece has arrived!!

All the way from Nigeria, this powerful work will soon find its place right here in our town. Keep an eye out—installation begins outside City Hall next week.

There’s something special about watching a space transform through art… stay tuned.

“Surface Tension” by Charlie Spademan

At first glance, it feels impossible—an anvil resting lightly, almost weightless, as if gravity decided to pause for a moment.

But that’s the magic of this piece.

Spademan plays with perception, transforming something as rigid and heavy as steel into a form that feels fluid, suspended… almost fragile.

It makes you pause and wonder—
How much of what we see is real, and how much is simply tension… held in perfect balance?

—

If you’ve seen this in person, what did it make you feel?

Save this for your next walk around Summit… and share it with someone who’d pause and look a little longer ❤️
