"Build Gill went swimmingly"
|
|
|
This temporary sculpture — a colorful,
three-dimensional blue gill — was the
focal point of this year’s
Water Quality Awareness Week Open House and
Re-Use Rally,
on Saturday, May 10,
2008, at the Delhi Township Recycling
Center.
On the day of the open house, visitors helped attach
approximately 2,500 empty
laundry detergent bottles to a pre-built
frame that was 25-feet long and 15-feet
high. |

Permanent Sculpture
|
The second sculpture in the works will not
be as big as Gill, but it will be just as
visible, given its prominent location at one
of Holt’s busiest intersections. The Delhi
Township Downtown Development Authority is
working with Lansing’s Landscape Architects
& Planners to redevelop a corner of the
Cedar Street and Holt Road intersection that is
considered to be overgrown. The new
landscape design calls for the installation
of a permanent sculpture that would be
visible from both roads, as well as from the
courtyard of the adjacent Crystal Bar. |

The Holt Community Arts Council has been
charged with commissioning an artist to
create the sculpture, which would be
installed in August or September of 2008.
The arts council is actively searching for
potential sculptors and hopes to find one
locally. If you know a local artist
who would like to be considered for this
project, please contact the arts council at
holtarts@holtarts.org.
