Project Finalists

In the fall of 2021, 51¹ÙÍø released a Call For Qualifications for the creation of a commemorative work of art to honor the contributions of enslaved people and others whose labor was exploited.

The call was open to professional artists, architects, landscape architects, and design teams with experience managing, designing, and completing public art commissions.

The jury identified the most highly qualified artist(s)/architects/teams for this opportunity, and selected this group of finalists.
