Goose on the Grand Public Art
A feature of the 2026 Goose on the Grand event was the official unveiling of five 4.5-foot tall geese, each designed and painted by a local artist.
Following the event, the City commissioned a second 'flock' of these public art pieces and are installing these one-of-a-kind artworks in public spaces across the City. Click on the drop-down headings below for more information on each artist and their unique design.
