The Bennie/Cridler outdoor Halo is the focal point of the Convention Center's Main Ballroom entrance, on Monroe Street. Wreaths are full of symbolism and have long been associated with good fortune. Like the Phoenix of lore, which rose from the ashes, this monumental sculptural one signifies transformation through regeneration.​
