While studying at the Art Students League of New York City, Shiho Sato created Fragments for the “Model to Monument” program. “Model to Monument” places premier select Art Students League work in Riverside Park South, located in Manhattan.

Fragments is part of a larger Sculpture Trail stretching from the Upper Keys to Key West. A full list of sculptures and their locations can be found here.

This Sculpture Trail throughout the Florida Keys would not be possible without the generous contributions and vision of John Padget and Jacob Dekker. MWACD would like to thank the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, the Monroe County Art in Public Places committee, and the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners.

Please find more information regarding Fragments, the entire Sculpture Trail, and the Art Students League of New York below!
