Where we meet
Adams St. and Palmer Ave.
Artist: Keith Knueven
Adams Hill and Adams Square in Glendale is a special community inhabited by people of many cultures. Celebrating our differences and finding commonalities is key to understanding who we are as friends and neighbors. Where we meet is graphic and simple, yet communicative of this idea. The color palette is fun and lively, yet smart and sophisticated. It strengthens our sense of place. The kinetic expression has a sense of rhythm and movement, indicating a designated and safe passageway to the park.
