ELEVATE PROJECT LIST

REFLECT AND RECONNECT IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN

Liberty Plaza is now about to be “elevated” by art once again — and this time, it will be permanent! A mural consisting of horizontally flowing, one-dimensional geometric shapes will soon fill the unique wall spaces of Liberty Plaza. Work begins on Monday, August 11 and will continue until early September.

DURATION: Permanent (installation between Aug. 11 to early September).

LOCATION: Liberty Plaza, at the corner of Liberty and Division

GIANT CRYSTALS THAT COME ALIVE THROUGH MOVEMENT

Created by The Urban Conga and powered by Creos, Oscillation is an interactive installation that uses sight, sound, and movement to spark community activity and social interaction through play. The installation acts somewhat like a theremin, an unusual musical instrument that you can play without touching it. As you walk toward the piece, it plays different sounds and pitches depending on your distance from it. And as you move and dance around it, colors reflect and refract light in different ways based on your angle and position. 

DURATION: Temporary, Jan. 17 – Mar. 16, 2025

LOCATION: Liberty Plaza, at the corner of Liberty and Division

WHAT IS PLACEMAKING?

Placemaking is about designing cities for people and strengthening the connection between people and the places they share. It celebrates and enhances a unique quality of place – helping make ordinary or utilitarian features opportunities for community connection.
