Exciting happenings in Putnam! ✨

FROM THE WINY RADIO NEWSROOM: MORE PUBLIC ART COMING TO DOWNTOWN PUTNAM: FROM The Putnam Business Association: Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, there’s new art coming to Putnam!

August 31, 2026 - 12:00 Noon - 112 Main Street Putnam, CT

The beauty of downtown Putnam is being revitalized with new metal sculptures starting with a feature of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack and the Beanstalk is the first in a series of three metal sculptures hand crafted by Master Metalsmith Michael Saari.

Saari, a Woodstock resident, is a skilled craftsman with over 40 years of experience. Mr. Saari boasts an impressive resume with works featured in New York City, Mount Vernon Virginia and Marianapolis Preparatory School. He is well known locally for his 20 foot eyeglass sculpture on display near the former American Optical complex in Southbridge.

The sculpture project came to fruition from the efforts of the Putnam Business Association looking to enhance the appearance along the sidewalks of Main Street. In previous years, trees that had dotted the sidewalks were removed due to overgrown roots and four locations were determined to need new features.

The first installation in 2025 was an Ivory Silk lilac tree planted in front of 130 Main Street. The tree was provided by the Town of Putnam Economic Development Department directed by Mary Ann Chinatti.

The next sculpture will honor Putnam’s historic role in the textile industry, and the third sculpture will be a shopper on Main Street. Plans and construction for those installations are for late 2026 and Spring 2027.

The project is supported by generous donations from the Putnam Business Association, the Putnam Area Foundation and the Putnam CT Arts Council. Materials have generously donated by Rawson Manufacturing.

The Main Street Sculpture Committee includes Sheila Frost, Dick Loomis, Mayor Barney Seney, Tom Borner, Mary Ann Chinatti, Beth Johnston, Elaine Turner and Michael Saari.

The Committee wishes to thank all the generous sponsors, the Town of Putnam Highway Department, Mayor Barney Seney, and PBA President Kate Cerrone.
