Wood Choppers by Alden Steck
This summer we've added 5 more art reproductions from our Permanent Collection to parks and green
spaces in Hancock for a total of 13 works! A walking tour map will be available at the City of Hancock and the CCCAC.
New pieces added this year include work by Edith Marshall, Nancy McCabe, and Barbara Cloutier which will be located at Ryan Street Community Garden and Kevin Breyfogle and Alice Reynolds at Porvoo Park. We wish to thank the City of Hancock for this partnership and sponsoring the project as well as Glen Ierley for photographing the artwork.
The project initiated by the Copper Country Community Arts Center (CCCAC) features fine reproductions of art by Copper Country artists belonging to the CCCAC's permanent collection. The city of Hancock sponsored the project after receiving positive response when the city was chosen to host the Inside/Out project from the Detroit Institute of Arts featuring reproductions of masterpieces from their permanent collection located in parks and green spaces in Hancock in 2020.
The collection on display also includes: It's Cold by Nancy Kromer in front of the CCCAC, Tezcuco Street by Georgi Tsenov in the strip garden by the parking lot on Tezcuco Street, Woodchoppers by Alden Steck on Quincy Street by Salvation Army, Bear and Stars by Joyce Koskenmaki and The Construction Workers by John Haro both on Quincy Green, and The Shaft by Fredi Taddeucci, The Strikers by Jan Manniko, and The Sentinel by Clyde Mikkola all on Lower Lincoln Drive.
In 1998, in recognition of the significant history of visual artists in the area, the Copper Country Community Arts Council made the commitment to establish a permanent collection. There are currently close to 50 pieces in the collection. Some works have been donated by the artists, some by estates, and others have been purchased by patrons. The CCCAC's permanent collection tells the story of the Copper Country through the artists' interpretations but also serves to document and keep safe the legacy of Copper Country artists for all time.
