On October 22, 2025, Lexington unveiled “A Common Thread,” a $900,000 public sculpture by California artist Benjamin Ball, to mark its 250th anniversary.
The artwork, featuring reflective spheres with poetry from Kentucky writers and symbols from the city’s sister cities, aims to symbolize unity and shared identity.
While praised by officials and some residents as a bold step in public art, it has sparked debate over its abstract design, cost, and the decision to hire an out-of-state artist, with calls for more public input on major city-funded projects.
