The BELLEVILLE AREA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS purchased the sculpture in 2018 for permanent display in Horizon Park, Belleville, Michigan.
“Hands Held High” is made entirely from steel and created by sculptor Gregory Mendez of Fort Wayne, IN.
Gregory is a nationally recognized artist of metal sculpting. When Greg was a boxer, he and his family would spend time between matches visiting local museums and parks. He became fascinated by the outdoor sculptures and the beauty they add to our surroundings. He graduated from the University of Saint Francis, Fort Wayne, Indiana with a BFA.

Thank you for providing such wonderful pieces at Horizon Park. I came across “Hands Held High” Summer 2022. The light wasn’t quite right. I returned this morning and took these photos-https://photos.app.goo.gl/X7uTXkMgtdyCwd8K8 We all love the craftmanship!
