Decatur to open sculpture walk
Nine original sculptures will be unveiled on Thursday, Aug. 23, at Decatur’s Sculpture Walk on Second Street in the business district. The works are by Indiana artists with four being indoor pieces and the others for outdoor sites. There are a variety of mediums as well as sizes from 20 inches to 10 feet. And although they are for sale they must remain in place until next year’s art event. Artists include Jesse Costello, Fort Wayne; Curtis Rose and Aubris Taylor, Decatur; Larry Wiedman, Huntington and Greg Mendez.

An artist lecture will be held at the Adams Public Library on Thursday, Aug. 23 at 2 p.m. and the sculpture unveiling will be at 6 p.m. followed by a Taste of Decatur event.

Visitors may vote for their favorite sculpture with the winner to be announced after Nov. 30. For up to date information on the project check decatursculpturewalk.com
