Goals

The Scroll is a densely illustrated steel and glass fence, composed of interwoven images that celebrate the history, environment, and culture of Flagstaff and its surroundings. The artwork places an emphasis on sharing surprising and little-known stories, representing the rich cultural diversity of the area. An accompanying series of 23 cast bronze plaques, “Footnotes", are embedded within the sidewalk next to the fence. These provide brief background text about the adjacent fence section’s images and stories.
