Sculptures in the Streets
There are 76 metal sculptures on display in a one mile stretch of Main Street, downtown Mesa, AZ. This is the 5th annual display that runs from November through March. Most are for sale with prices ranging from $1200 to $50,000. There are all kinds of figures but the ones I like best are the lifelike sculptures that you can't resist touching. The Citrus Grower below is part of a permanent display. Downtown Mesa is not too exciting, especially on Sunday when most of the shops and restaurants are closed! We've seen several towns with sculpture displays, like the cows that Chicago had. Scottsdale had a display of large, painted horses and only a few are left. There were painted ponies in Temecula; painted sturgeons in Sturgeon Bay, WI; bronze presidents in Rapid City, SD! And of course there were the painted mailboxes in Stevensville, MT!
