We join so many other Michiganders in mourning the passing of Bill Milliken, our former governor and the 2011 recipient of our Legacy Award for his countless contributions to the state: bit.ly/35ONElk
Thank you Renee for sharing your experiences with Governor Milliken in the Art Park during the dedication of Fallen Comrade. Cindy and I have shared your memories with many Art Park visitors over the years.
On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay we give thanks to the tribes of the Anishinaabe -- whose original lands our beautiful Art Park sits on, and whose traditions we learn from and hope to honor.
Art Park fans are pretty smart folks, so for those of you coming out Sunday for the Fall Color Tour with Caitlin Chism, here's a preview of her guide to the inspiring canopy of trees you'll see: bit.ly/MLAPTREES
Michigan artist William Allen talks about his sculpture "Frog," part of the permanent sculpture collection at Michigan Legacy Art Park.
There are few places on earth with more area where land and water meet than Michigan. Here the bogs and marshes, ponds, lakes, streams and rivers provide a crucible for life.
Bill Allen turned to these precious places when creating his work for the MLAP collection. “I have chosen to sculpt a frog because I believe they represent some of northern Michigan’s most unique and special gifts. They are the harbingers of spring,” with each species adding to the chorus.
Frogs are sensitive creatures. They can warn us well in advance of potential danger to our environment so we can act to preserve this special place. “Finally,” says Allen, “I believe that frogs embody the spirit of transformation and survival we in northern Michigan possess, with their unique progression from tadpole to full-grown frog."
Frog is made of galvanized steel and coated with copper. The copper coating has been painted by Allen with the rich colors of a Michigan frog.
