You’d think they’d know better than to build a nest in a fake Christmas tree in the first place.
It has been said:

There’s a new installment of public art coming soon and the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee announcement is just in.
What’s really cool is the new Google map showing where all the public art is located.
The new art showcase is seeking applications from artists for works that will be displayed at 8 community parks for two years now instead of just one (2024-2026). What’s also great is that the artists will get a higher honorarium as well as an opportunity to sell their art.
Reminder: NAMIWalk Johnson County today at Terry Trublood Recreation Area. Registration starts at 8:30 AM.
