Krasl Art Center’s Lab gallery will feature Lake Deity, a public sculpture proposal by St. Joseph native and nationally recognized public artist Foster Willey. Known for his large-scale commissions in bronze, metal, concrete, and stone, Willey brings his deep interest in the intersection of sculpture, community, and the built environment to this visionary work. Lake Deity is designed for placement along the shores of Lake Michigan, honoring the lake’s spiritual and ecological significance while inviting public reflection and interaction. Drawing from both classical and modernist traditions, the proposal presents a striking yet welcoming form that celebrates the lake’s role in the region’s identity and heritage.
