The design would be engaging by day and night, visible from various vantage points, sensitive to the historic architecture on Lancaster Avenue, and durable and easy to maintain. City Council was briefed and informally authorized staff to proceed an August 16, 2005. Using the guidelines established in the Fort Worth Public Art Master Plan, which the City Council adapted in September 2003, the process began with an invitational request for qualifications sent to 35 Iocal and national artists, 18 of which responded.

On October 4, 2005, the selection panel choose artists Cliff Garten, Barbara Grygufis and Ray King as finalists. After visiting Fort Worth, meeting with those involved with the project and touring Lancaster Avenue, the artists returned to their studios and developed site-based proposals, which they presented to the selection panel on January 9, 2006.
