\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re like me you appreciate the balance of fun, uniqueness and resiliency.<\/p>\n

That is why a spot at Cervantes Plaza along Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento is so eye-catching.<\/p>\n

Along the sidewalk is a balancing act that is hard to miss.<\/p>\n

It’s a work of art from Tony Natsoulas titled, “Balancing Act, Too”.<\/p>\n

And the story behind it balances a unique visuals with a narrative of survival.<\/p>\n

That’s because when it was originally commission in 1993 for $55,000, it’s home was in the Downtown Plaza long before the Golden 1 Center was built.<\/p>\n

But once construction of the new arena was approved, the sculpture was moved into storage in 2014.<\/p>\n

The story didn’t end there.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento Kings ultimately donated the artwork back to the city and the sculpture for its new home at Cervantes Plaza Park.<\/p>\n

To see the unique artwork to explore, watch Mike TeSelle’s video.<\/p>\n
