Program context & project planning
How the program works
Bear Tracks connects a competition to a renovated plaza
The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau documents Craig Campbell’s Bear Tracks unveiling in May 2026 at B. Finley Vinson Plaza. It identifies the work as the 2025 competition winner. The announcement is an awarded-project precedent, not an open call or a published commissioning price.
How does the proposed artwork reinforce the site’s renovation and visitor routes?
Public voting has informed historical acquisitions
Little Rock’s 2012 release records The Center by Chapel as the preceding year’s Sculpture at the River Market people’s-choice winner, selected by preview-party ballots. This documents one historical selection mechanism; present competition procedures and future deadlines remain unverified.
What selection rules govern the next competition or acquisition?
Landscape and sculpture delivery involve different partners
The same release describes Kevin Robb’s Playing Ball at Rebsamen Road Roundabout and donated landscape design and maintenance by Chris Olsen. City, nonprofit and beautification partners shared the project. Landscape care should not be mistaken for a complete sculpture-conservation agreement.
