WENTWORTH SELECTED AS FINALIST FOR HARVEY MILK MEMORIAL

Cedric is one of three finalists for San Francisco's latest public art commission, the Harvey Milk Memorial. Forty-two artists from around the country competed for these three top spots.

From http://www.milkmemorial.org/splash/0906/MilksculpturePR.pdf:

"Upon formal acceptance of the invitation to submit, the three finalists, Bruce Wolfe, Cedric Wentworth, and the firm of Eugene Daub, Jonah Hendrikson and Robert Firmin each will create a small scale clay maquette of their proposals for a commemorative bust. The total combined size of the commissioned sculpture and pedestal will be 75 inches high. The maquettes will be displayed in City Hall for public viewing sometime in early 2007 after which the selection panel will reconvene to review the public’s written commentary and then select the winning proposal. The three finalists will be awarded $2,500 each for the production of the clay maquettes and the winner will be awarded $57,500 to produce the finished sculpture. The winner will be (given) a year to produce the sculpture. A free public unveiling event in City Hall is being planned with a targeted date of Milk’s birthday May 22, 2008. Harvey Milk was born in 1930; he would have been 76 this year."
