The next great public art project from CCAC is on the horizon, and it will make a splash!

Sculpture Installation Coming to Heritage Park Gateway!

The City's first sculpture installation by the Canton Cultural Arts Commission is coming to the western gateway of Heritage Park. "Currents of Canton" by artist Huelani Mei celebrates the Etowah Darter, a fish species that can only be found in the Etowah River. Mei was the selected artist by the CCAC in a call for sculpture artists held late last year.

"Embedded in the Etowah River system, "Currents of Canton" transforms the locally endangered Etowah darter into an iconic sculpture of movement and connection," said Mei. "By celebrating a species found nowhere else on earth, this sculpture becomes a defining placement at Heritage Park reflecting Canton’s history, environment and community."

The sculpture is completely funded by a private donation, and is expected to be installed in August 2026.
