Ottawa Park, Where Art Happens…

In 2004 the Cheboygan Area Arts Council, the City of Cheboygan, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), the Cheboygan Chamber of Commerce and the Cheboygan Area Schools formed a partnership in order to develop a special community park which would focus on public art. The intent was to attract the creative minds of those who live within the community and those who had the desire to contribute in an artistic way to the development of the park. Grants from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, administered by the Michigan Association of Community Arts Agencies, and the local DDA provided the initial financial resources needed to begin park development.
