Update: We have moved Nessie from the pond to a dry dock. She will spend the next couple weeks drying out & then we start the rehab process. Thanks again to everyone at the zoo, the public support and the kind generosity of the folks that have offered her shelter… and a future here in the city where she was created.
Nessie will be returning to her home at John Ball Park Zoo with a newer, thicker skin for long-term exposure!
We, AAG llc, represent a collective of artists, designers, engineers, fabricators, modelmakers and builders. Our approach is to add an interesting aesthetic to the downtown Grand River profile with a piece both enigmatic and fluid as the Grande Vitesse herself. Full Bio
Nessie is a life-sized loch ness monster -art deco style- that will float in the Grand River during the national ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Witness her creation on this blog!

Thanks for the post! Cameron has been asking about her and where she went (he’s six years old). He wants you to know “Nessie should have won ArtPrize.” Looking forward to seeing her at the zoo again.
