MUSKEGON, Mich. - The Lakeshore Art Festival and Muskegon Museum of Art unveiled nine new sculptures in downtown Muskegon on Thursday, July 5.
The sculptures incorporate real kayaks and have been installed at various locations along W. Western Avenue and Clay Street.
"We are very excited to bring this fun and unique public art initiative to our community," said Lakeshore Art Festival Director, Carla Flanders in the release. "We are not aware of any other community that has featured kayaks in this way, and we know our residents and summer visitors will be impressed by the creativity of these nine artists."
The project is one of the ways city leaders say they are recognizing Sun Dolphin's decision to locate their corporate headquarters in Muskegon. Sun Dolphin donated the kayaks and is the Signature Sponsor.
