Schuylkill Currents
50 feet long
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
2024
Commissioned by Philadelphia’s Percent for Art Program, which requires 1% of the construction costs in city-owned lots to be earmarked for competitive selections of site-specific artworks, this 50-foot-long carved granite bench by Mark Mennin evokes the rippling curves of the adjacent Schuylkill River. MA assisted the city in selecting a shortlist of qualified artists for this opportunity; reviewing artist RFPs; and working closely with the artist on the concept and fabrication of his sculpture.
