Patrons walking from the east-side parking lot to the west-side front doors of the Vancouver Community Library now have some thought-provoking entertainment along the way: four sculptures, including James Lee Hansen’s “Glyph Singer no. 3,” have been moved here from a mostly unknown pedestrian plaza nearby.

The Sculpture Garden on Broadway never turned into the hanging-out-with-art mecca that its planners envisioned in the 1990s. If you’re not plugged into the local arts scene, or have no reason to explore downtown Vancouver’s obscure corners, you may have missed the very existence of the outdoor sculpture collection.
For the past 21 years, it has been located in a brick pedestrian plaza between office buildings near the Regal Cinemas, at the foot of downtown’s tallest building.
