Commerce City

Commerce City was commissioned by Eugene and Marilyn Glick, founders of the Gene B. Glick Company and the Glick Philanthropies. The Glick Foundation’s goal of helping youth reach their full potential through education and life experience is similar to that of Junior Achievement of Central Indiana, for whom the sculpture was originally built. Commerce City acknowledges the work of Junior Achievement and reflects on how a city is formed by its forces.
