The National Monuments Foundation is a non-profit organization that builds monuments, including the World Athletes Monument and the Millennium Gate.[1]
History and activities
[edit]The foundation was conceived in 1999 and established in 2003 to commemorate the turn of the millennium.[2] It has erected a number of monuments in the United States, including the World Athletes Monument (also known as The Prince of Wales Monument), the Millennium Gate, and the Newington-Cropsey Foundation's Gallery of Art. The foundation received the 2006 Palladio Award for best new public space in the United States for the Peace and Justice Gate and Plaza.[3] Notable current and former members of the advisory board include Richard H. Driehaus, Susan Eisenhower, and Tom Wolfe.[4] The foundation has been involved in an effort to re-establish Mims Park, an original Olmsted Brothers designed park in the English Avenue and Vine City neighborhood in downtown Atlanta.[5]
