of the Elizabeth River.

piece to celebrate the entrance to Town Point

There are public walkways on both sides and the design will
be an important edge that identifies the Park. Artists
are encouraged to think beyond the idea of a fence.
This is a design project, no actual fabrication or construction
is part of this budget. It is anticipated that the Artist
will participate in the fabrication and installation of the
artwork under a separate budget and another contract.
