Cayuga Street Art Corridor Takes Shape with Art in the Heart
Ryan McGuire’s whimsical Bananapede resides in front of the State Theatre Box Office near the corner of South Cayuga and West State Streets. The Ithaca-based multi-media artist explains, “I applied to the Art in the Heart program because I’ve always admired the sculptures downtown and I thought it was time to add some of my bright pop art to the mix. It’s exciting to be able to engage such a large number of people and to put a smile on their faces. As soon as people realize they live in a community that supports art, they start creating.”

So it's called Bananapede? Saying it's placed in front of the box office is kind. It's actually in front of the adult book store and makes for a humorous juxtaposition.
