Overview

Kaleidoscope on the Square
Weaving a community together thru art
Utilizing a chain link fence to create public art.

Goals

Kaleidoscope on the Square is a temporary 200 ft fence installation project that brought together the diverse community that makes up the north end of the city of West Palm Beach, FL . This area is a tightly woven kaleidoscope of culture.

Process

With the community as our inspiration, we created a colorful woven fiber installation on the fence. Each colorful thread, represents the energy, spirit and creativity of the community all woven into geometric patterns, shows how diverse cultural elements become one to transform the fence into a Kaleidoscope of color. The project was sponsored by the West Palm Beach CRA.

Additional Information
