Good news! In my email this morning I learned that the Year of The Snake design I submitted was chosen to go into production by a soon-to-be-revealed Cleveland business benefactor.
I'll be publishing more information as I receive it, including the name of my mystery sponsor. Who knew this was going to be this much fun?
In the meantime, here's an informative "what is" gleaned directly from the St. Clair Superior Development Corporation's call to artists.

What is the Year of the Snake Project?
February 10th begins the Year of the Snake on the Chinese calendar, and to celebrate we will fill our community with a collection of public art pieces in honor of the Year of the Snake! Local artists will apply their talent & creativity to the fiberglass Snake sculptures to create an assortment of unique pieces of public art. The Snake will be placed outside local business establishments in Cleveland, and will be auctioned in the Fall 2013.
To make each Snake a unique work of art, each artist is challenged and inspired by cultural influences, their personal history, and their own interpretation of the Snake as an object of art.
In addition to the public art, the Year of the Snake Project will also include a variety of Asian & art education programs and events throughout the year. These will include the Year of the Snake Unveiling Festival, a youth art & culture education program for St Clair Superior neighborhood schools, and various cultural events throughout the year!
