Gig Harbor Arts Commission to Celebrate Installation of Tom Torrens Art


"Ring in the Salmon", by renowned artist Tom Torrens, a resident of Gig Harbor will be installed by the Gig Harbor Arts Commission next week.
To celebrate this newest addition to art in Gig Harbor, the public is invited to a ribbon cutting and unveiling on Thursday August 13th 2009 at 6:00 p.m. in conjunction with Thursday Art Evening in downtown Gig Harbor.
The beautiful metal sculpture has been in the making for months and depicts a beautiful salmon desinged by Ben Isitt, atop a large cone of recycled metal, the trademark style of Torrens. A bell completes the piece, thus the name "Rining in the Salmon".
Donkey Creek Park will be the permanent home of the sculpture, fitting due to the fall chum run that annually occurs in Donkey Creek.
The public is invited to celebrate this milestone for the City of Gig Harbor.
