Flag Park

Flag Park

Park Details:

  • Location: 34 Reid St., Charleston, South Carolina 29403
  • Size: 0.1 Acres
  • Directions

Flag Park is the result of a 1991 61-exhibition visual arts Spoleto project titled "Places with a Past: New Site-Specific Art in Charleston." On the corner opposite the miniature house would be a small park, the centerpiece of which would be a black nationalist flag flying atop a 50-foot flagpole. A billboard to the left of the flagpole would depict the faces of black youth with eyes lifted toward the flag. This small pocket park is part of a corner lot. 

Learn more about the history of the art intallation in an article written by John Vernelson, titled, "Behind the Scenes".
