Art in Ottawa Hills-just off campus

I had talked in a previous post about the art on the campus of The University of Toledo and how we are lucky to have some pieces that change from year to year, which is pretty unique among college campuses. Well we are also lucky to have a changing sculpture exhibit just off campus. If you go to the corner of Bancroft and Secor, which is walking distance if you live on campus or in the student apartments in the areas around campus, you can see even more art in the park area in Ottawa Hills that is bordered by Bancroft St, Indian Rd and Orchard Rd.  There are 10 more sculptures over there, so take a walk and look around. It doesn't even need to be a 5 or 10K walk. There is lots of art both on campus and nearby. Here's my photos of selected works.
