The internationally acclaimed CODAawards celebrate the projects that most successfully integrate commissioned art into interior, architectural, or public spaces. Commissioned Art Matters - and the CODAawards celebrate this. The CODAawards program honors the individuals and the teams whose collective imaginations create the public and private spaces that inspire us every day.
"Simple and elegant. the forms are suggestive and ethereal. Important that we are invited to inhabit a drop and experience the mist. Very engaging and beautiful work appropriately scaled for its location."
"“Cloud Puncher is a triumphant fusion of storytelling and sculpture, boldly capturing Oklahoma’s pioneering spirit - excellent example of placemaking with art!”
“Geist is a mesmerizing fusion of art and science, transforming the invisible pursuit of neutrinos into a poetic, immersive experience – high marks for initiative and messaging.”
"Elysium elegantly bridges past and present, transforming a transit hub into a luminous tribute to San Francisco’s architectural heritage; the scale makes it so impactful.”
"This is SO good. Engaging as an object – but it makes a place, it invites us to rest under the protective canopy. It must be great in the sunshine as well. Very clever tech, and the contrast between the robust "trunk" and the fluttery "leaves" is wonderful. I need to see this in person..."
"I applaud how the artist invited different groups of people to participate in the artwork by writing prayers, hopes, and dreams on the ribbons. Not only is it a beautiful and meaningful gesture — I imagine it has also created personal bonds to the artwork, which may have attracted visitors who otherwise wouldn’t have had a connection to it, opening up a new space for them and allowing for new, shared experiences."
