Share your ideas for a mosaic to adorn the new wishbone bridge

The new underpass being constructed under South Pleasant Valley Road will be enlivened with a mosaic by Texas artist Reginald Adams, and residents are invited to give their input on the project at a community engagement workshop from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 17, at the Rudy Mendez Recreation Center at 2407 Canterbury St. The workshop, hosted by the city’s Capital Delivery Services and Art in Public Places, will introduce Adams and his team, along with their objectives for the artwork at Longhorn Dam. They will gather ideas from the community through interactive activities like brainstorming sessions, sketching and storytelling. Surveys will collect any further suggestions or input from attendees, and those who do not attend can fill it out here. The event is the first of many community engagement activities that Adams will lead while working with AIPP on the Longhorn Dam project from now until the estimated completion in 2026. Two other artworks by Adams are publicly viewable in Austin – “Reflections” at the African American Culture and Heritage Facility and “Field of Dreams” located at Downs Field. RSVP is encouraged but not required.
