(LUDINGTON, Mich.) - The “cARTier Trail” at the popular Cartier Park Pathway near Ludington, features three 4-foot by 3-foot artworks displayed in metal frames. The works will be rotated out annually. All works displayed are by art center members.

The artwork is spaced out along the trail’s one-mile loop.

Art will be on display year-round. The Ludington Area Center for the Arts hopes this will help foster a community where arts and culture are brought together.
