A community partnership sculpture by Vito J. Valdez 2019-2021 Made possible through the Detroit Institute of Arts Partners in Public Art initiative, and funded through the tri-county millage, the sculpture was created by artist Vito Valdez with input from the people of Plymouth. A true community endeavor, this extraordinary project would have not been possible without these community partners. ...............................................

Located on the east side of downtown Plymouth adjacent to Kellogg Park and south of the Wilcox House. Our installation is complete! PROJECT HISTORY: In 2019, the DIA approached the Plymouth DDA and Arts Council with a partnership proposal to create a piece of public art together for our community. Through many meetings, drawings, community survey and historical inquiry, the sculpture became a reality. DIA sculptor Vito Valdez, and fabricator Kristyn Koth continued to work in their studios during the pandemic. We look forward to the debut of this piece in September of 2021 - it is truly a combination of everything Plymouth...our railroad, native roots, Daisy factory bricks, the automobile, and leaves from the City of Trees all play a part in this one of a kind sculpture.
