City of Westfield and GANGGANG select artist for Underground Railroad Art Installation

The City of Westfield, in partnership with GANGGANG, has selected Indiana-based multidisciplinary artist Aaron S. Coleman to create a transformational public art installation that honors the city’s historical ties to the Underground Railroad and the Quaker families who helped guide enslaved individuals on their path to freedom. 900 North Studios is the fabrication partner that will bring Aaron’s vision to life.

The commissioned artwork, titled Hold the Stars, will be installed at The Grand on Main development located at the southeast corner of State Road 32 and Poplar Boulevard. The piece was selected through a competitive RFPQ process that prioritized historical resonance, artistic excellence, and community connection. The project represents a significant investment in public art, storytelling, and placemaking in Westfield.
