Full source-scope note

Use this official City project page for source-stated Grand Avenue Roundabout Art Project context only: the project description and theme, the ongoing selection-process status, the source-listed timeline, and the page's listed Top Three Selected Artists. Do not treat it as a final artist selection, Council confirmation, contract, approved design, or installation. The timeline includes future steps (final artist recommendation June 8, 2026; Council confirmation in August 2026; co-creation starting September 2026) that require later City Council, Public Art Commission, staff-report, contract, and project records to confirm.
