About the event
The mosaic benches at the corner of Chicago and Franklin are known by many names: The Thrones, the Phillips Gateway, and Touchstone Plaza. Unfortunately they have reached the end of their life and are planned to be removed in 2025. While we are saddened of the loss to the community, we also welcome the chance to breathe new life into the corner and Peavey Park and begin the process of envisioning what new public art created with the current community for this area.
