Sculpture in the Park is a non-profit Sculpture Garden on "Arrowhead Point" in eastern Ottawa Hills, Ohio , at the five-way intersection of Secor Road, Bancroft Street, and Indian Road. The sculpture get a lot of exposure here, since "thousands of cars pass by the exhibit daily."http://www.msisculpture.com/exhibits/sculpture_in_the_park_2006/call_for_proposals.htm Peggy Grant claims that she got an idea for the sculptures while driving the empty grass area one day. Although it was originally planned for there to be 10 sculptures in the garden in the summer of 2004, The Ottawa Hills Foundation, which sponsors the exhibit, decided to only start out with six. Peggy claimed that all of the sculptures are all large enough "to be easily visible from the street" and that there is a great deal of variety.'' The Toledo Blade '', article by Mike Jones (2004) Although many sculptures come and go, the Ottawa Hills Foundation purchased three to permanently stay in the garden, including the butterfly sculpture, which is a tribute to former Ottawa Hills mayor, Jean Youngen, who passed away in 2004. |
