<h2 style="text-align: center;">Sparta welcomes you to the first</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Downtown Art Revue!</h2>
<p>This new exhibit features 14 unique pieces of art placed at locations of close proximity for walking through downtown Sparta or enjoying a short car cruise. The artwork was developed by local and Michigan artists from a conceptual design competition. Each artist submitted a concept that best depicts Sparta, which may be through its rich agricultural history, unique community characteristics, or community involvement. The exhibit started in June 2011 and will run through September 2011. Take your time to explore the Art in Sparta!</p>
