Join us for the annual Unmistakable Public Art Exhibition (formerly known as Outdoor Downtown Sculpture Exhibition) walking tour! We meet at 9th and Massachusetts St. This year’s exhibition celebrates the spirit of the World Cup through six unique artworks, each offering a different creative perspective on public art and the world’s favorite game. Four of the five installations are now on display throughout downtown, while a sixth project features Lawrence-inspired fútbol wearable gear that will be available at select shops in Downtown Lawrence.
• Soka Kila Mahali/Soccer Everywhere by Gary Mark Smith – photo collage on banner at Lawrence City Hall, 6 E 6th St. (On display through July)
• Gestura by Nathaniel Pierce – stainless steel and acrylic sculpture at the southwest corner of 7th and Massachusetts streets
• Fútbol 50 v 50 by Randall Warren – painted steel sculpture at the Lawrence Public Library plaza, 707 Vermont St.
• Close up, Far Out and Six Sides of Connection by Alicia Kelly – cut window graphics displayed at The Roost, 812 Massachusetts St. (coming soon)
• FRGMNTS {WRLD CP 26} by Javy Ortiz – painted panels in steel frame, located on the sidewalk east of Massachusetts St. between 8th and 9th streets (coming soon)
• Lawrence United F.C. Wearable Public Art as Cultural Narrative by Tim Hossler and Lizzy Arnold – fútbol wearables at select retailers on Massachusetts St.
The exterior artworks will be on display for one year; except the photo collage on City Hall, which will be removed in July after World Cup festivities conclude.
As always, the 2026 artworks, along with past public artworks that remain on display, will be featured in the Otocast app for self-guided tours around downtown Lawrence.
