At Monday’s meeting, the Richardson City Council approved plans for a large-scale public art installation by New York City–based artist Mark Fornes, to be placed outside the future City Hall.
Fornes’ design was selected earlier this year by an Artist Selection Committee, which reviewed proposals and narrowed the selection to three finalists. Fornes personally presented at a June Council meeting, and representatives from the City’s art consultant, Via Partnership, returned Monday to provide additional details.
Integrating public art into new municipal construction is a central goal of Richardson’s Public Art Master Plan and will serve as a signature piece welcoming the community to the new civic campus.
