Monticello's Allerton Park has unveiled new artwork for their visitors.

Allerton Park has partnered with the Champaign Public Art League to bring its first new piece of artwork in over seventy years. Matt Smith, with Allerton Park, says the sculpture will be at the park for two years and hopes it will blend into the various art themes throughout the park.
