For the past 8 years we’ve been working with artist Larry Kirkland on his design for the Peace Corps Park in Washington, D.C. The Peace Corps Park will commemorate those Americans who have served in the name of peace. The benches are designed to resemble outstretched arms with open hards that symbolize global peace and partnership. The paver design depicts a Peirce quincuncial projection map without borders that shows one interconnected world.

Thank you to our project partners Michael Vergason (Site Planning & Landscaping), Nick Benson (Inscriptions), Michael Mowry (Digital Modeling and Renderings), Quarra (Stone Carving), Christopher Collins (Sculpting), and the Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation.

We are thrilled to see that several of the projects we’ve had the honor of working on were recently recognized by CODAworx as 2026 CODAaward winners.

Kipp Kobayashi’s ‘The Dreams We Carry’ for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport was recognized for the CODAaward for Art in Transportation. We are honored to have worked with Kipp on this incredible project that engaged community members in it’s design and is sure to delight travelers and staff for years to come.

Cliff Garten Studio’s ’Taking Stock’ for the National Western Center (NWC), Denver, Colorado, was recognized for the CODAaward for Sculpture. Watching this project take shape as part of our involvement in the management and oversight of the public art commissioned for the NWC Campus has been a true pleasure. The resulting sculpture is a mesmerizing focal point for the central plaza of the campus.

Congratulations is also in order for Inspirational Merit Winners Matthew Mazzotta and Bimmer Torres for ‘Rising Together’, a programmable social space created for the NWC and the surrounding neighborhoods. Matthew Mazzotta was also recognized as an Inspirational Merit Winner along with Ellamonique Baccus for their art integrations at the Chester I Lewis Reflection Park in Wichita, Kansas.

And Paula Castillo’s ‘The Denver Art Museum Campus Trilogy’ recieved recognition as a Merit Winner in the category of Sculpture. This series of three sculpures entitled, ‘Equis’, ‘Glyph’, and ‘Trestle’ are installed throughout the shared Denver Art Museum and Denver Central Library Campus in Denver, Colorado, and acknowledge the authorship, labor and cultural presence of Chicano, Mestizo, Mexicano, Mexican American, Indo-Hispanic, and broader Southwest Latino communities whose contributions have shaped Denver but have rarely been monumentalized within its civic landscape.

Donald Lipski’s much beloved F.I.S.H. can again be found along the Museum Reach section of the San Antonio River Walk, now in their newly restored state. Since it’s installation in 2009 this school of 25 larger than life fiberglass replicas of native, long-eared sunfish have been delighting locals and visitors alike.

Over the last 17 years they have weathered many storms and were in need of restoration and preservation. Thanks to the City of San Antonio’s Public Art Program and our skilled project partners we were able to breathe new life into these iconic sculptures. If you are in the San Antonio area be sure to stop by for the nightly lighting of the F.I.S.H.

Special thanks to Bridge Projects, New Wave Taxidermy and Art Project Partners.

Last month, the Plaza of the Americas officially broke ground. This project is more than 20 years in the making and marks an exciting new chapter for Downtown Denver - bringing secure bike storage, public art, green space, play features, and community gathering spaces to the heart of the city.

We are excited to be working with artist Ana María Hernando on a mosaic mural for the secure bike storage area. More to come on this project set to open this fall.

Our collaborators at Storts Studio have been hard at work taking molds from a massive cottonwood tree here in Colorado for Donald Lipski’s “The Stars and the Cottonwood” for the Denver International Airport. These molds will be used to create the bark like exterior of the massive 60’ tall faux Cottonwood tree that will soon fill the Great Hall with rainbow refractions, providing a memorable place for travelers to gather.

Kipp Kobayashi's newest work of public art "Model Colony", an internally illuminated beehive featuring 146 individual building facades based on those found in the downtown area, can be found at the DABC facility in Salt lake City, Utah.

In the artist's words: “Originally selected to represent the cooperative work that was necessary to create a thriving and industrious community in this desert environment, the beehive became the symbol of not only what was to become Salt Lake City but of the entire state of Utah. Playing off this connection between animal and man-made habitats, I imagined dozens of scale buildings referencing the many iterations of the existing and historical structures that once inhabited the district, organically clustering together to form a metaphorical hive.”

Such a pleasure to get to work with Kipp again on another amazing project.

Installation is currently underway for the Howard County Veteran and Military Families Monument designed by artist Larry Kirkland. The monument, located in Vivian C. “Millie” Bailey Park, Columbia, Maryland, will offer a space for contemplative reflection that celebrates the service and sacrifice of Howard County’s veterans and military families.

This project began in 2017 thanks to the Howard County Veterans Foundation and their efforts to create a permanent, public artwork and outdoor space that appropriately honors the Veterans and military families of Howard County.
