César Chávez plaque on Shed 2 in the Farmers Market

César Chávez plaque on Shed 2 in the Farmers Market
Readers' Choice: Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora St., 214-242-5100

Technically, we suppose a metal embossed plaque on a near-empty shed in the Farmers Market isn't really a sculpture per se. Much the same way, a boulevard isn't an avenue and an online poll isn't the same, say, as casting a ballot in the city council elections. Nevertheless, we're going to bend the rules a bit—there's a lot of that going around—and give this award to the Chávez plaque, which honors the late labor leader's tireless efforts on behalf of impoverished farm workers everywhere. Dunno why, exactly, but there's just something about reading it that reminds us of home.
