Vliet Street Commons is a public art work by American artist Jill Sebastian, located on the west side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin near 50th and Vliet Streets. The work was created as part of a revitalization effort.[1]
Vliet Street Commons is a site-specific artwork made of concrete and steel. It incorporates a large table with bench seating and umbrella sun shade, a rounded arbor with elevated walkway, a birdbath, a reading desk, a stage and a grove of trees.
Sebastian collaborated with representatives from the West End Vliet Street Business Association, Martin Drive Neighborhood Association, Washington Heights Neighborhood Association and Rainbow Heights Association to create "something that would bring people together."[1]
