Five fire brazier sculptures were made by several different Maine artists including: Steve Andersen, Jay Sawyer, Terrence Parker, Magdaleena Rouhiainen and William Josiah Glover. The lit sculptures may be seen during the summer at events in Skowhegan. Viewing spots include Coburn Park and the riverside beach accessible via Mount Pleasant Avenue in Skowhegan.
