THE GATEWAYS: REDLINE PROJECT IS UNDERWAY!

HCAACD is happy to announce we have initiated the Gateways: Redline Project.  This project is a key deliverable of our Placemaking initiative to visually imprint the Black cultural presence within the historic Central Area.  For more details, please visit our project.

HCAACD has activated the Gateways: Redline Project – Phase 1 to preserve the Black cultural presence within the historic Central District. This project is a key deliverable of our Placemaking initiative to visually imprint the Black cultural presence within the historic Central Area. 

Phase 1’s objective was to select four artists or artist teams for four gateway sites within the historic redlined Central Area.  Phase 2’s will oversee the actual creation and installation of the art.  We completed Phase One in June 2023 and are currently working with a Design Team who will:

  1. Prioritize the best possible locations for gateway art within the Historic CD
  2. Establish general design guidelines per location, inclusive of site specific physical and regulatory limitations, and historic relevance
  3. Establish artist selection criteria
  4. Issue invitations to a limited number of artists based on their past works
  5. Serve as the selection panel for the winning artists based on their responses

We welcome your input, participation, and feedback throughout this entire project which you can provide by emailing admin@hcaacd.com.
