'Little to show': San Jose landmark raises $3M before going silent - San Jose Spotlight
Briefly

Urban Confluence, a nonprofit group, aimed to create a major art installation in downtown San Jose called 'Breeze of Innovation'. With a projected cost of $100-$200 million, they secured over $3.3 million since 2017, yet as funding has dropped to around $35,000, critics suggest the project is faltering. Described as a potential landmark akin to the Golden Gate Bridge, it garnered initial support from local high-profile donors, city council, and community leaders, but crucially has not progressed in three years, raising concerns about its future viability.
Urban Confluence raised over $3.3 million for a downtown San Jose art installation, but funding has dwindled to $35,000 and it never started.
Despite a high-profile fundraiser and unanimous support from the city council, the ambitious 'Breeze of Innovation' project seems increasingly unlikely.
