PORTLAND — Four artists have been selected as finalists to work with Wallace Roberts & Todd to design artwork for Congress Square.

City spokeswoman Jessica Grondin announced June 21 that Ned Kahn, of Sebastopol, California; Patrick Marold, of Denver, Colorado; and New York City residents Matthew Ritchie and Sarah Sze were selected as finalists by the Public Art Commission. Ninty-seven people applied for the project.
