Art on the Riverwalk

Art on the Riverwalk, Milford, DE. Mayor Bryan Shupe and City Manager Richard Carmean are rebranding the picturesque former shipbuilding town of Milford as “River Town/Art Town/Home Town. Besides being home to the Mispillion Art League, Live Cheap and Make Art Studios, Gallery 37 and the Second Street Players, downtown Walnut Street and the Mispillion River walk are lined with a dozen sculptures based on the design of the 1927 yacht Augusta. Built at the Vineyard Shipyard, the Augusta’s rescue and restoration by local philanthropist Sudler and Joan Lofland inspired Milford to commission twelve artists to create decorated mixed media sculptures that are now permanently installed along the river walk.
