Tony Gwynn Memorial

Tony Gwynn Memorial

Lake Poway, California

Client: City of Poway

Commissioned by the City of Poway, this landmark public art project honors baseball legend and beloved community member Tony Gwynn. Rebecca Basford led the full project lifecycle — from developing the RFQ and RFP, facilitating the juried artist selection process, and overseeing the commission of sculptor Seth Vandable of Cedar Hill, Texas. The result is an 11-foot tall bronze sculpture unveiled May 9, 2017, on what would have been Tony's 57th birthday.
