ArtWorks received 77 applications for the public art project that will add sculptural elements along Pendleton Street, at its intersections with E 12th and E 13th streets.
A seven-member design review committee narrowed that number to nine before selecting the semi-finalists, who operate studios in Brooklyn; Oakland; Philadelphia; Portland, Ore.; and Seattle.
A three-month community engagement and design development period will begin next month, with a final design selected this summer. The artwork is scheduled to be dedicated late this year.
Funding for the $215,000 Pendleton Public Art Project comes from the City of Cincinnati, a National Endowment for the Arts Our Town grant, and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
