Located in the city’s historic Shockoe Slip district, the installation is a testament to Richmond’s commitment to the arts. Entitled “Convergence,” the installation consists of a series of colorful, geometric sculptures that seem to float mid-air. The individual pieces are made from stainless steel and painted in eye-catching shades of blue, orange, and yellow. The sculptures are suspended from the ceiling using thin wire, creating the illusion that they are weightless. The installation was created by artist John Calvin, a New York-based artist known for his large-scale public art projects. Calvin was inspired by the industrial heritage of the Shockoe Slip district and the city’s vibrant artistic community. “I wanted to create something that would reflect the energy and diversity of Richmond,” Calvin said. “I hope people will enjoy interacting with the sculptures and finding their own interpretations.” The installation has already become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Visitors have been spotted taking photos with the sculptures and admiring their unique design. The artwork is expected to remain on display for several months. “This installation is a wonderful addition to Richmond’s public art collection,” said city Mayor Levar Stoney. “It adds a touch of color and whimsy to our city and helps to create a more vibrant and engaging public space.” The installation was funded through a partnership between the city of Richmond and the Greater Richmond Transit Company. It is part of a larger effort to revitalize the Shockoe Slip district and make it a more inviting place to live, work, and visit.
