Each fall a new piece of art is installed in this unique urban oasis following a rigorous competition among local artists. The 2006-07 winner was Marty Ray’s “Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art”, the 2007-08 winner is Ann Cushing Gantz's “Trumpeting Angel” and Pamela Nelson’s “Magic Carpet,” the winner in our 3rd year, graced the wall of The Catholic Foundation Plaza for 2008-09.
