Community-based art project brings six sculptures to city neighborhoods

The Community-Based Public Art Project was an effort to add artwork to local neighborhoods. With $25,000 from the city budget, the Syracuse Public Art Commission along with Tomorrow’s Neighborhoods Today made the installation of the six pieces of  art a reality. In the South Side, a piece, “Community As Family,” by Fayetteville sculptor Peter Michel can be seen brightening up the entrance to Beauchamp Branch Library.
