Ten architecture students from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, led by Professor Carl Safe, spent the fall semester creating a public plaza for visual art in Grand Center, St. Louis’ premier arts and entertainment district. The plaza — located adjacent to the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra’s Powell Hall — will host outdoor exhibitions, site-specific installations, performance pieces, and video and new-media work by local and nationally known artists. The $45,000 budget was funded by the Sam Fox School, the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts and Grand Center Inc., with additional materials and labor provided by the St. Louis Cement Masons Joint Apprenticeship Program, the Masonry Institute of St. Louis and the Ironworkers Joint Apprenticeship Program. A formal dedication of the plaza will take place at 11 a.m. Dec. 15 in Powell Hall, 718 North Grand Blvd. For more information, call 935-6200.
