Broadway Street Corridor

Project Description

The Arts Commission's Art in Public Places is collaborating with the City of Toledo, The Broadway Corridor Coalition, the Toledo Design Collective, and the Sofia Quintero Arts and Culture Center (SQACC) to develop a plan for public art and infrastructure enhancements along the Broadway Corridor. The corridor is undergoing a complete reconstruction from Western Avenue to Newbury Street and Art in Public Places is working to incorporate public art in the newly renovated space.

Four finalists were selected to propose designs, and artist Cecelia Lueza was selected by the Design Review Board to create the final artwork. Her design incorporates powder coated aluminum forms to create a series of sculptures that will be installed in the median of Broadway.
