Flat Man has arrived at his new digs

Flat Man has arrived at his new digs

Today marked the official unveiling of the 20-foot tall Larry Griffis, Jr. sculpture “Flat Man” at Outer Harbor Buffalo. The ceremony signaled a seven-month process of picking a site at the outer harbor, taking the sculpture out of Griffis Sculpture Park, repair the sculpture at Essex Arts Center, and finally installed at Outer Harbor Buffalo. It was a wonderful day for the Ashford Hollow Foundation, Outer Harbor Buffalo, the Griffis Family and the entire Western New York community as a whole.
