Town begins installations at Sculpture Park

The Town of Normal continues progress at the planned Sculpture Park at 1110 Douglas St., Normal, near the Community Activity Center at One Normal Plaza with one sculpture installation complete.

“American Kestrel” by Shawn A. Hensley, Champaign, Ill. is the first piece to be installed. Two more pieces are slated to be installed in the first week of June, weather permitting. The fourth piece will be installed later this summer.
