Michigan Art Walk at Ferris State University

 

I have posted a few times about ArtWorks in downtown Big Rapids and how it the remodeling was incredible. Just South of there on the Campus of Ferris State University you can find the Michigan Art Walk. This is another amazing example of Michigan artists and their artwork. I know of 25 examples that can be viewed by walking this route.

There is a great video on the Ferris Website here: Michigan Art Walk Video and their website can be found here: Michigan Art Walk . I have had the opportunity to visit Robert Barnum at his studio and his work will always be etched in my mind as the best I have ever seen. If you get a chance watch the video but if you have a little extra time take the walk, you'll be glad you did.

Hi Randy, this is a great localism blog post!  Just an FYI, I did try the links but they didn't work for me.  I love these type of projects within communities.  The ArtPrize was a huge success in GR.

I liked the bulldog best, but then I really am partial to Mother and Father Nature's other critters on Earth.
