As soon as these sculptures (Big Mama Baby and
Little Mama) were installed
Across from
Austin’s Central Library by Texas artist Sharon Engelstein:
We had a lot of love happening:
So we add this signage (in English and Spanish) painted on the sidewalk
In front of the sculptures:
It says: We’d love a hug, but please do not climb the sculpture
Simple but it has been (mostly) effective.

Hi Fiona,
Here is what Austin did for a particularly tempting piece…
It has been somewhat successful.
I am interested in the responses as well.
Thank you!

Subject: "Do Not Climb" signs on public art
We are placing some fabulous animal-themed sculptures along our riverside trail between downtown Waco and our zoo. They are gorgeous – diverse in materials, styles, subject matter, and scale. However, most should not be climbed on for the safety of public and the artwork.
We would love your advice as to how you have approached this. Particularly signage or other interventions that invited interaction but minimized actual climbing.
Or your suggestions for wording that is more creative than simply “Do not climb”.
Thanks so much,
Fiona & Amanda
