Online sculpture guide features Toledo outdoor art
Posted:
Updated:
Across Ohio are hundreds of outdoor sculptures waiting to be discovered.
A database recently revised by Cleveland's Sculpture Center is helping the lead way.
The nonprofit's director tells The Plain Dealer they'd like people in Ohio to discover the sculptures that are on the list and help document those that aren't.
The Toledo area is prominently featured with more than 50 sculptures from the region displayed on the site.
Some of the sculptures have high profiles, like the
President William McKinley statue outside the Statehouse in Columbus
and the 1 of baseball's Bob Feller next to Progressive Field in
Cleveland.
Many more are hidden in parks and neighborhoods all over the state.
Cleveland State University librarian Bill Barrow
called public sculpture a "statement about the community," reflecting
its history, values and more.
Check out Toledo and other Ohio communities' outdoor sculpture at the OOSI website.
