It was a glorious night for art in downtown Stamford Wednesday. The city is alive with animals of the sculptured kind. The Stamford Marriot played host to an opening celebration of part of the DSSD's Art in Public Places Program with this year's theme being called "Roam Around". 42 works, all representing animals, have been mounted around popular city areas such as Columbus and Veterans Parks and local sponsoring business such as UBS and Stamford Town Center. Pedestrians will encounter Elephants, Deer, Eagles and even a Unicorn constructed from machine parts among others. Some works traveled more than 3000 miles for the summer exhibit. Guests at the opening night party included some of the artists taking  trolly rides with others to view the works in their public spaces.
