More Than Ganesha To Be Dedicated

13 other art-on-loan statues will be dedicated tonight by Mayor Sandi Bloem and the “godless” city Arts Commission, besides the controversial Hindu god Ganesha statue near the Parkside building on Sherman Avenue (which Stebbijo provides for Huckleberries Online today). Councilwoman Deanna Goodlander provides this link to the other art already on display around downtown Coeur d’Alene here.

Going downtown Coeur d’Alene, in search of a Ganesha puts Big Foot to shame! Seriously, I spotted St. Francis right away. I did so, because I used to work at a hospital by the name of St. Francis Medical Center, so I instantly recognized him. I slowly continued to creep down Sherman, checking each corner and side street to see if I would see this Lord of Success. I had to be careful, in my search, I did not want to hit a pedestrian or a wheelchair. It is an artful drive to say the least. Slowly, slowly, slowly …. and there he was, sticking out like a sore thumb!/ Stebbijo’s Place . More here.

Question: Do you plan to attend the Art Walk/art-on-loan dedication on Sherman Avenue today?
