National invitational competition to be held to redesign historic Syracuse site with Christopher Columbus statue

By: Kelly Rocheleau

Select designers and artists will be able to turn in their ideas to makeover a historic site in Syracuse. The Full Circle Design Competition, a national invitational contest calling for concepts related to the civic space previously called Heritage Park in Syracuse, was announced by the Onondaga Historical Association in a statement on Friday, May 1.

The downtown Syracuse site includes Columbus Circle, which features a statue of Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, and an adjacent vacant space that once housed the Powelson Business Institute. “OHA has selected Forecast Public Art, a non-profit consulting organization that specializes in design competitions and public art, to assist in the management of the competition ― inviting artists and designers to submit ideas for the project site,” the statement said.
