The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies issue a Call for Entries for a Proposed Public Monument to the First American Poet James Gates Percival (1795-1856). Percival is also known as the “Father of Modern American Literature.”
The
Monument is proposed for the historic city of Galena, Illinois to commemorate
the time when the poet lived and worked in the region of Northwestern Illinois
and Southwestern Wisconsin next to the Mississippi River.
The event
is tied to the Second Annual Athens Architecture Club Exhibition at
Contemporary Space Athens in Athens, Greece July 4-August 10, 2019 where

The First
Place Gold Medal was given to the Russian-German Architect, Sergei Tchoban. A
catalogue accompanies the 2019 exhibition.
The exhibition is then scheduled to travel for exhibition at The Chicago Athenaeum.
