Madison LakeWay

It's been awhile since The Madison LakeWay Public Art Committee selected its artist finalists, so we thought we'd reintroduce them!

This is Loop: This is Loop is an award-winning public art studio and collaborative artistic partnership between Harriet Lumby and Alan Hayes, based in Somerset, UK. They are renowned for creating large-scale, immersive, and experiential audio-visual sculptures and architectural installations that blend science, technology, and art. Their work frequently tours internationally, often featured at light festivals, science events, and large gatherings. To view more work, visit: https://thisisloop.co.uk

Choi + Shine: Choi+Shine Architects is an internationally awarded art and architecture design studio co-founded by Jin Choi and Thomas Shine.

Jill Anholt: Jill Anholt is a prominent Vancouver-based visual artist and the principal of Jill Anholt Studio. Since 1998, she has specialized in site-specific, large-scale public art, creating award-winning interactive light installations, sculptures, and integrated architectural works across North America. Her work sits at the intersection of architecture, sculpture, and the human body. She is highly regarded for her ability to weave environmental sustainability and the hidden, structural "memories" of a site into dynamic, experiential installations. Anholt holds a master's degree in architecture from The University of British Columbia and has training in sculpture, drawing, and physical therapy. She also teaches at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. She has received numerous national and international recognitions, including a CODAawards Merit award for her Aperture glazing installation in Spokane, Washington.

SpY: SpY is a globally recognized Madrid-based urban and public artist. Rising to prominence as a pioneering graffiti artist in the 1980s, he is best known for creating massive, conceptual, and often interactive public installations that disrupt everyday city routines. His work transforms the urban environment into a playground of ironical and playful interventions. To view more work, visit: https://spy-urbanart.com/artworks

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the people whose hard work keeps our communities moving, businesses growing, and ideas becoming reality.

But what exactly IS Labor Day?

Observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day was created to honor the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday traces back to the labor movement of the late 1800s and became an official federal holiday in 1894 as a tribute to the contributions workers have made to the nation's strength, prosperity, and well-being.
