Join us November 2, 12:30-1pm at Five Points Park and Plaza as we kick-off a night of football in the park with the dedication of our newest public artwork.
“Grass Dome” by Sean Orlando of Engineered Artworks is a 22-ft in diameter immersive sculpture, created to serve as a gathering place, and an interactive space for creative contemplation within the park and the busy Five Points neighborhood.

This placemaking piece creates a gateway into Five Points Park and Plaza, the new public greenspace adjacent to the Five Points intersection. Grass Dome reflects local grasses, as well as the nearby urban form of the circular intersection.

The brightly painted turquoise sculpture simulates growing grass blades and forms an open canopy. Several highly polished blades take on a reflective quality to mirror objects as they pass by.

This project was commissioned by Norfolk Arts and the community to be a central feature of the new park.
