River's Edge Environmental Sculpture is one of the most overlooked public sculptures hidden in plain view in downtown Grand Rapids. The piece, by vermont-based sculptor Michael Singer, was commissioned by the Grand Rapids Art Museum in 1987 and was part of an effort to return the River to public esteem.
Some Facts
