 Changes in the air in Bemidji as members of Bemidji Sculpture Walk Board removed and replaced various sculptures around the downtown area. Crew members were hard at work installing this giant spider along one of the downtown business's walls located along Beltrami Avenue. The eight-legged creature is one of many new sculptures that was installed today with more being installed tomorrow. The Sculpture Walk has become so well known and competitive that some artists were turned away this year. I think Bemidji Sculpture Walk is becoming better known nationally as a place to put their work on display. And so we actually had probably 27 applicants and we had to narrow it down to about 20 to get onto the walk. So that's good news. I never like to turn down an artist, but also that keeps the quality of the work up, so it's good. Once the installation is completed tomorrow, a reception will be held at the Northwest Minnesota Foundation building in downtown Bemidji tomorrow at 5 o'clock.
