The Public Art Advisory Committee was responsible for assessing artistic merit, including aesthetics and the artists’ previous work. At its March 20, 2026 meeting, each proponent presented their concept to the committee and responded to questions prior to the final scoring. Following the tabulation of all scores, the highest-ranked proposal was “Ripple in Time” by BESPOKE grain artist Jesse Reimer and J. Neufeld of Wood Anchor.

The artwork will feature a sculpture inspired by salmon in motion, demonstrating resilience, return, and connection to place, the city says.
