Wacky Walleyes on Parade

View Them Here

Similar to the "Cows on Parade" (Chicago) and "Polar Bears on Parade" (Detroit), the Maumee Council for the Arts is developing "Wacky Walleye" fish sculptures that will be bought by local companies and placed around town for the community to view. The sculptures are meant to be a colorful art exhibit, demonstrating that art does not have to be either serious or hands-off to be effective and moving.
