Find them on the racquetball court facility near the Jones Visitor and Education Center, the handball courts and “The Nick” basketball courts.

Join us for this panel discussion hosted by Alexandria Office of the Arts . Hear from and about artists whose work makes time visible, changing how we see and understand it.
Time is often recognized as a fourth dimension, after length, width, and height. It is an independent direction, through which we constantly move forward. Human beings’ perceptions of time can be deeply personal and context-dependent, leading us to experience the measurable ticking of the clock in subjective ways. This panel discussion, featuring Angela Adams, Alicia Eggert and Sandy Williams IV, and moderated by Leigh Arnold of the Nasher Sculpture Center, will explore artists whose work contemplates the present moment, makes time visible, and shapes the way we perceive and understand different aspects of time, from the immediate to the infinite.

Register at the link in our bio for this free, online talk focusing on the New Jersey Monuments to Migration and Labor ( NJ Monuments to Migration & Labor )project. Monday September 28 at 4pm ET.

The New Jersey Monuments to Migration and Labor (NJMML) project unveiled three new temporary public monument installations across New Jersey this summer, in New Brunswick, Paterson, and Atlantic City. NJMML is supported by funding from the Mellon Foundation’s Monuments Project.

Join Andy Urban, project director and Rutgers University professor, along with the project’s public art consultants Emily Blumenfeld and Aliza Schiff from Via Partnership, for a conversation with the three monument artists, Immanuel Oni, Michelle Angela Ortiz and Chat Travieso. They will discuss what it means to honor labor and migration in a variety of contexts throughout New Jersey and how their community-centered installations share the many stories of these diverse communities.

The three monuments — En Root by Chat Travieso in Central Jersey, Carriers of Light and Labor by Michelle Angela Ortiz in North Jersey, and Flagship by Immanuel Oni in South Jersey — mark a major milestone in NJMML’s statewide, three-year effort to recognize the histories, labor, culture, and contributions of immigrant and migrant communities across New Jersey.

For the past year and a half, NJMML monument artists have partnered with community stakeholders to determine the commemorative form and focus of the monument installations. The panelists will also discuss the community dialogues and deep community partnerships that have contributed to the project’s impact and the power that public art and public history can have at a time when political attacks against immigrants have aimed to silence their voices and remove their cultural, social, and economic contributions from the public. Finally, the presentation will include photographs and videos from the monument openings, and visual responses from the community dialogues.

Finally got to see “Now or Never” in-person. It is monumental, surprising in its detail, and was generating a lot of interaction and discussion. On view in Old Town Alexandria through November.

600 seconds. 10 minutes. That’s how long it takes to read the Declaration of Independence — and now, each of those seconds is cut in stone.

“00:10:00 (The Declaration of Independence)” by Sandy Williams IV is a thought-provoking new temporary public artwork just installed in Alexandria, VA. 600 stone-carved “Time Rulers” make an invisible unit of time visible — inviting us to see and reckon with the magnitude of a text that still shapes our everyday lives.

When did you last read it? Now’s your chance.

📍 Alexandria Circuit Court Courtyard
520 King Street, Alexandria, VA
On view April 25 – November 2026
