Beaver Island Library Installs Sculpture Garden

The Trio of sculptures is nestled among tall trees and shrubbery in the Beaver Island District Library garden. Sage green, steelcase gray and bright orange, metal shapes, towers of art.
The library’s Sculpture Garden was dedicated last month after the installation of three new metal sculptures.
Man in the City sculpture artist, John Suave brought the sculptures and installed them on the grounds where questions were discussion took place about the works and the artists; light refreshments were served to twenty attendees at the event.
A circular green tower is tucked beyond the metal orange sculpture, with a transparent glass circle that reflects light if you look beneath it.
A curved brushed metal structure blends well among dark and thick tree trunks on the east wall of the library. Bright orange shapes stand out and blend in at the same time with perleys open, graceful tower. Viewed from varying angles, the piece seems to form a staircase or a ballerina’s arc. One can only imagine what the garden shall appear like in deep fall, winter or next spring!

The Beaver Island Dark Sky Project and the BI Library have been hosting various sky gazing-related events to help promote our island as a dark sky haven. Sometimes, astronomers, star-gazers and photographers show up on their own.

Beaver Island is a place of pristine wilderness and lakeshore, infused with freshwater lakes and breathtaking views from dunes and bluffs and roadsides.

Beaver Island is solitude, peace, silence filled only with sounds of nature’s abundance on wings of eagles and swans, in the call of peepers, crickets, nightjars and loons.
