The
U.S. Commission of Fine Arts is having its monthly meeting on Thursday (June 20), and one of the
agenda items is "
Washington Canal Park, 2nd Street between I and M Streets, S.E. Sculptures by David Hess." Apparently earlier this year the
DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities put out a $300,000
Call for Artists for "permanent public artworks" at Canal Park, and Mr. Hess was the winner. The commission will be reviewing his submission and providing final recommendations; alas, there doesn't appear to be any documentation anywhere out on the web of exactly what his winning submission looks like.
Hess's web site shows much of his other work, but I haven't found anything on a Canal Park project. More as I get it.
