Artist Joe Rizzo
Renowned fabrication artist, Joe Rizzo is our featured artist for the 2025 Springfield Sportsmen’s Show. Joe has an extensive background in creating art installations that can be seen in both the commercial and art world. From film and theater production to major entertainment venues like six flags amusement park and Dolly Wood, Joe’s artistic touch has a dramatic impact on the viewing audience. Every piece is a work of art and a sight to see.
This year at the show you can see one of Joe’s impressive pieces. It’s the 14 foot brook trout! Yea, that’s right 14 foot. This massive true to life sculpture is a site to see and it is just one of many similar project that Joe has worked on over the years. Many of Joe’s projects have become local and national landmarks such as a giant catfish in Alabama, giant lobsters in Maine and New Jersey, the giant frog clock in Bangor Maine!
We are so excited to have Joe with us at the show. This carver, sculptor and fabricator is also an incredibly talented painter. Joe will have much of his work at the show and we are thrilled to announce that you could be lucky and win one of his works as a door prize, just for attending the show. Just take a look at what we’ll have as part of our many door prize offerings:
