The Rye’sAbove butterfly sculptures debut on the Village Green this Thursday at 11am.

Last Friday, organizers from Rye Rotary and the Rye Arts Center were out tending to these oversize pollinators so they are ready for your viewing pleasure later this week.

After the butterfly sculptures are kept on public display, they will be auctioned at a benefit event on September 29th to support educational programs in the region. Last year the benefit raised $29,000.
