There is a new piece of art visiting downtown Manistee through the rest of the year.
The Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts has partnered with artists Tyler and Ashley Voorhees to present The Lamplighter.
The sculpture will be on display downtown, next to the Christmas tree, through January 3. 2021.
The Lamplighter sculpture is constructed with dozens of antiquated tools and man-made artifacts in a grand gesture to this humble worker of the past.
The sculpture is also interactive!
Visitors can pedal the stationary bikes surrounding the sculpture to generate light. The artists say the illumination is a nod to the light that we all carry within us and the sculpture symbolizes a collective connection to spread that light.
