The City of Memphis Division of Public Works worked with the UrbanArt Commission to install an artist-designed shade structure downtown on the riverfront. The shade structure provides shelter and seating along the Bluff Walk, where a structure by artist John Medwedeff was installed in July 2001. The structure, titled “Whirl” and located in Vance Park, is an elegant water form made of painted steel.
