Monte Vista's Swoop of the Cranes!
Picture
The Swoop of Cranes is a community art and city beautification project.
​
Citizens and businesses can sponsor a 5 foot steel crane silhouette that will be changed from a steel blank to an artist's creative rendition.  The completed rendition will be attached to light poles in town from Crane Fest in March through August.
Our goal:  30-40 completed cranes on display on light poles in Monte Vista's City Center.  This will attract attention during summer tourism season.  Generate interest and excitement in Monte Vista!
WE HAVE HAD A GREAT RESPONSE TO THIS PROJECT WITH 50 CRANES! UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NO MORE LOCATIONS AVAILABLE.  IF YOU MISSED THE CHANCE THIS YEAR PLEASE REMEMBER US NEXT YEAR.
ATTENTION ARTISTS! REQUESTS FOR THE $50 /CRANE TO HELP DEFRAY COSTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE.  DOWNLOAD HERE  Forms are also available at the chamber office.

By the way, wonder why we call it a Crane Swoop?  There are packs of wolves, herds of elk, gaggles of geese.  A large group of cranes are a swoop!  Please join us in this fun project!
Turn the crane on the left into a beautiful art work like the crane on the right.  Get creative!

Check out photos of all the awesome cranes!  The list of sponsors, artists and the map of locations can be found under the photos.  Vote for your favorite online or use the QR code on the back of the actual cranes.
