The City will commission 3 artists for the design/installation of 3 separate-3D sculptures/pieces to be located throughout the Branhilda Richardson-Knowles Memorial Park and Historic Cemetery located at 411 SE 2nd St., Deerfield Beach, FL 33441. The park was originally a cemetery used by African Americans. Research states that the cemetery was in use from the late 1890’s to 1930’s. When the property was purchased to be developed, the City decided to purchase the property with the intention of using the site as a passive park for residents. The city's vision was to create a sacred place of solice for the community to reflect on this historic legacy and Bahamian heritage of those buried on site. The park has three main gardens to commemorate those buried there, Branhilda Richardson Knowles (a local midwife), and veterans. The artist should focus on this history and the somber nature of this green space when creating the 3D piece.
