Following a community engagement initiative, which received feedback from more than 3,500 community members, the "Animal Parade" public art sculptures have recently been installed at the entrance of the Hilde Performance Center, 3500 Plymouth Blvd.
Visitors of the area may enjoy these five giant animal-shaped geometric figures:
- Koda, a 6-foot grey howling wolf
- Sindri, a 4-foot teal squirrel
- Freya, a 3-foot pink fox
- Percy, a 10-foot orange buck
- Edie, a 10-foot soaring purple owl on a concrete pillar
A collection by artist Kirk Seese, the animal parade was commissioned in partnership with the Plymouth Arts Council. The collection is designed to foster a community gathering space that offers photo opportunities outside the Hilde entrance.
Each animal was named by Seese and is painted purple, teal, orange, pink or grey from the branding palette for Hello! Plymouth, the city’s destination marketing organization tasked with attracting visitors to Plymouth.
Note: Edie the Owl and Percy the Buck will be installed in early-June 2026.
