The Unfinished Arch art installation is officially open! ✨

Located at Sherbourne Common, The Unfinished Arch appears to float from the ground, intentionally incomplete. When visitors place their hands on the edge of the structure, the arch illuminates, completing the connection. 🙌

Designed to be accessible, people of all heights can interact with the piece.

The installation is also an incredible engineering achievement, anchored 50 feet into the ground and weighing 25,000 pounds!

A huge congratulations and thank you to .to and artist on this remarkable new public art installation.

This permanent addition to the waterfront invites curiosity, participation, and connection through public art.

📍 Sherbourne Common, 61 Dockside Dr
