Harry Whitehorse International Wood Sculpture Festival

The Harry Whitehorse International Wood Sculpture Festival is a one-of-a-kind cultural event that brings together world-renowned wood sculptors for a week-long artist residency in Monona, Wisconsin. Held on the ancestral lands of the Ho-Chunk Nation at San Damiano on Lake Monona, the Festival honors the legacy of Ho-Chunk sculptor Harry Whitehorse.

More than just a sculpture event, the Festival is a gathering of artists, cultural demonstrators, and community members. 

It is the first international wood sculpture festival in the world dedicated to an Indigenous person.
