CARMEL, Ind. -
The City of Carmel will unveil the newest addition to its J. Seward Johnson sculpture collection tomorrow, Friday, May 23rd at 4:30 p.m. in the Arts & Design District. This statue, called “Unconditional Surrender,” will be placed in its temporary location in front of Artisan Masterpiece, located at 19 East Main Street.
The Friday of Memorial Day weekend was chosen as the date of the unveiling due to the statue’s patriotic theme. It replicates the famous photograph taken on WWII’s VJ Day depicting a sailor kissing a nurse in New York’s Times Square. There is also a Gallery Walk being held in the Arts & Design District immediately following the unveiling from 5-10 p.m
