Great public art in the plaza. Nice to photograph during the blue hour on a summer evening. Dont miss the Tire Swing sculpture in the corner of the plaza as well.

Brilliant example of modernism and community in the humble city of Grand Rapids. It resembles the values of this city quite well I think. It’s my favorite place to go if I just want to leave the house and bless my eyes for a bit.

Awesome Calder sculpture in an appropriate setting. Few people know he also painted a mural on the roof of one of the buildings on the square too. How cool. Can only really see it from the air or from a taller building nearby.

If you are a person who is very into the arts you must stop by and see it. Calder plaza is a large space that commonly is used for artists to display their art during Art Prize and Festival of the Arts.
