(La Porte, IN) – There\u2019s now a statue at Fox Park in La Porte.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Park Department Superintendent Mark Schreiber said the newly arrived abstract statue is near the amphitheater and comes under a two year lease with the creator, Luke Achterberg.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks great,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Achteberg works and lives in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Schreiber said the La Porte Urban Enterprise Association is paying the $3,000 cost of having the statue for two years.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said the statue was last on exhibit in Green Bay, Wisconsin as part of the arts program in that city.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to have it here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Schreiber said the park department was approached on whether it wanted the statue by the Lubeznik Center for the Arts in Michigan City, an organization that\u2019s been involved in the recent emergence of art in downtown La Porte.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it not only beautifies the city but it draws people in and it creates interest,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(La Porte, IN) – There\u2019s now a statue at Fox Park in La Porte. \u00a0 Park Department Superintendent…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":71326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49894,49890,49888,648,1032,9958,49896,1033,171,49884,49883,49895,1412,2862,49887,49886,49899,214,43786,49902,49900,36642,49885,983,49893,49901,49898,49889,49897,67,132,68,49891,49892],"class_list":{"0":"post-71325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-106-5","9":"tag-96-7","10":"tag-96-7-the-eagle","11":"tag-arts","12":"tag-arts-and-design","13":"tag-country","14":"tag-dennis-siddall","15":"tag-design","16":"tag-entertainment","17":"tag-hometown-news","18":"tag-hometownnews","19":"tag-htnn","20":"tag-in","21":"tag-indiana","22":"tag-la-porte","23":"tag-laporte","24":"tag-meatball","25":"tag-michigan","26":"tag-michigan-city","27":"tag-new-buffalo","28":"tag-new-carlisle","29":"tag-radio-station","30":"tag-radio-station-group","31":"tag-rock","32":"tag-rock-106-5","33":"tag-rolling-prairie","34":"tag-sound-off","35":"tag-the-eagle","36":"tag-tradio","37":"tag-united-states","38":"tag-unitedstates","39":"tag-us","40":"tag-wcoe","41":"tag-wcoe-fm"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114871531226533036","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
