Canoe Imagine Art is a proposed City of Ann Arbor public art project.

"In 2011 a small group of community enthusiasts gathered over coffee to brainstorm how 30 canoes could be recycled into an art project. As time passed, the concept that is presented as Canoe Imagine Art evolved as first a visual art project, and secondly and with equal importance, an opportunity for the whole community to celebrate our beautiful river and use the theme to teach history, art, storytelling as well as create a stellar artistic recycling project."
One of the sculptures, Canoe Fan, is not owned by the City of Ann Arbor, and is for sale by the artist.

The project will use 30 old aluminum canoes from the city of Ann Arbor’s Argo canoe livery, which 10 artists and 20 community groups will turn into artwork that will be displayed throughout the downtown in 2014. Partners in the project include the Ann Arbor Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), the Main Street Area Association (MSAA), the Arts Alliance, and the Huron River Watershed Council.
