UPDATE: OKEMOS - If you are driving in downtown Okemos you might have noticed a few changes on the side of the road.

The Downtown Development Authority chose six new pieces of public art that is available for purchase in Okemos. The art was setup by Midwest Sculpture Initiative for the fourth year and will be on display until 2013. Assistant Planner Peter Menser feels a lot of people will appreciate these additions.

"It's great to see the new artwork. I know a lot of the business owners are excited. Every year we have people that drive through here, people that are our residents that comment on the art. It's become and integral part of the community"

Art was selected through the many artists associated with Midwest Sculpture Initiative. Dozens of pieces were looked through before settling on the six that are now displayed. Expect to see new public art like this in the coming years around Okemos.
