PAC Spotlight: Art Around The Corner
Each year, the "Art Around The Corner" subcommittee of the Ames Public Art Commission selects up to four sculptures to display in downtown Ames.
The committee accepts entries from throughout the corner--and some sculptures end up being purchased by the committee and placed permanently in neighborhoods in Ames.
The entry period this year begins September 1. Here are the complete details.
