Tecumseh is located in Lenawee County, home to just over 8,700 residents. Noted as one of the first three original European settlements in Michigan, Tecumseh is proud of its past. This is clearly evident in the historic downtown district. An interesting mix of specialty shops and dining options fill the walls of buildings that have stood watch over Chicago Boulevard for over 150 years.
Historic downtown Tecumseh provides an ideal setting for a public art program. Sculptures can be entered in four different categories: Large scale, pedestal/garden size, wall relief and floating (there is a pond at the Community Center that would be ideal)! The exhibition would consist of 8 larger sculptures and 6 pedestal size sculptures with the possibility of 1 or more floating sculptures. This exhibit is a new addition to MSI’s exhibition season.
