Jack London Square Open Space

Frequently, paring down your palette offers the most creative and cohesive solutions. At Jack London Square we are working with the idea of a bench and site-specific art and programming to explore all the ways a bench, in its many forms, can facilitate a diversity of social and physical experiences including interactions among community members and connections to place. Our goal is to create a thread that stitches together public space, fostering a clear identity, memorable experiences, and a diversity of visitors.
