About the Percival Plinth Sculpture Project
The Percival Plinth Sculpture Project will select up to sixteen sculptures in 2019 to be displayed on the City of Olympia’s Percival Landing. During the month of July, community members and visitors have the opportunity to vote for their favorite. The sculpture with the most votes will be awarded the People’s Choice Sculpture Award and be added to the City’s permanent art collection. 2017 winning sculpture Aqueous by Cyrra Robinson is currently on display at Olympia City Hall.
