New Neighborhood Sculptures!

The Ames Public Art Commission annually selects up to four sculptures to be displayed in downtown Ames for a year as part of it's "Art Around The Corner" program.

Ames neighborhoods are then given the opportunity to acquire one of the sculptures on display as part of its "Neighborhood Sculpture" program.

The Commission has approved the following placements for 2010: "Untitled Flower" at the entrance to Munn Woods; "Rising Wave" (pictured) at the new Don & Ruth Furman Aquatic Center and "Change on Your Dollar" in Country Gables Park.

Be sure to look for this year's new displays in downtown Ames and be thinking as to which sculpture would look good in YOUR neighborhood. Information on how to acquire one of the pieces is here.
