2026 Salisbury Prize Winner Announced
SALISBURY, Md. – Tonight’s Good News is brought to you in part by Matt the Carpet Guy.
Congratulations to Jared and Jeri Alexander, two artists who have won the 2026 Salisbury Prize for their work on a kinetic sculpture. What makes this even more exciting is that this piece was selected by the City of Salisbury to be installed in front of the Government Office Building downtown!
The sculpture is planned to be eight feet tall, and carry 380 reflective tiles, creating a shifting effect as visitors rotate it. As visitors turn the sculpture’s manual crank, the suspended steel tiles will rotate and ripple through the structure, creating a cascading “Jacob’s ladder” effect with constantly changing reflections and movement. The installation encourages people of all ages to stop, participate and experience the artwork in a different way each time they visit.
“Our sculpture promotes a sense of community and belonging by symbolizing the connection between community members and the impact each individual can make,” said Jared. “The interactive and kinetic components of this sculpture will encourage passersby to engage with it and each other.”
