Project Description
Shrimp Expression is modeled after the wildly
successful Cows on Parade concept. Begun in
Chicago, and now featured in dozens of cities
around the world, painted fiberglass animals have
become a pop culture phenomenon. Micahs Place is
excited to announce that it is producing the very
first community art exhibition in Nassau County -
Shrimp Expression. Each Shrimp Expression
sculpture is adopted by a local business,
community organization or individual. These
sponsors are actually patrons who enable the
object to be created, but do not own it. Artists
whose designs are used on a whimsical crustacean
will receive an honorarium to offset production
costs. The Shrimp sculptures will be on display
from May 2010 through September 2010. Shortly
after the display period ends, the event
concludes with an auction of the creatures to
benefit Micahs Place.

Shrimp Habitats
Our vampy scampi will live in high traffic
locations throughout Fernandina Beach. Habitats
will include waterfront locations, historic
downtown sites and high-traffic tourist areas.
Shrimp Expression sponsors may also choose to
have their sponsored sculpture live at their
place of business. Micahs Place staff will work
closely with each sponsor to ensure the best
possible placement of the shrimp sculpture.
