The Arts Council is and hopefully always
will be a grassroots, community endeavor.
We can’t make a project like Music in the
Garden a success without volunteers.

Permanent Sculpture
The Holt Community Arts Council
commissioned Delhi Township's
first major permanent public artwork.
The nine-foot high stainless
steel sculpture was created
by Lansing artist Tom Sheerin.
He developed the original design
based on the theme
"living,
working, and playing in Holt."
The pillar-like sculpture has
three sides, with each side
representing one aspect of life
here.
Sheerin included artifacts in
the sculpture that represent
life in Holt. These items
are inside the sculpture and
visible through plexiglass
windows. Sheerin, who
often works with repurposed
materials, collected objects
from the community for inclusion
in the sculpture. He then
altered the objects as needed to
make them fit inside the
sculpture as well as fit with
the sculpture's theme.
"The
Arts Council worked hard to find
a sculptor who would create a
piece that reflects Holt in
particular,"
Arts Council President Kara Hope
said. "Tom’s
design is unique and
interesting. It takes on
added meaning from the objects
that are included inside."
The sculpture was installed in
December 2009 in the new park at the corner of
Holt and Aurelius roads.
