Walks of Fame

Walk of Fame plaques are bronze commemorative inset plaques that honor individuals, achievements and events.

CELEBRATING INDIVIDUALS & EVENTS WITH A WALK OF FAME

A walk of fame is a series of plaques that celebrates the unique achievements of individuals who share a common history. Each plaque in the series has the same or similar design (such as a star­-shaped plaque) and features the name of an honored individual. Walk of fame tribute plaques can also celebrate historic events, stories, native wildlife, etc. and can range from simple text plaques to exquisitely illustrated works of art. Walks of fame star walks are commonly used to lead visitors through a public space and often promote tourism and create a unique opportunity to foster local identity. Need some inspiration?

MASTERWORK BRONZE TRIBUTE PLAQUES

Our walk of fame plaques are created in cast bronze, a durable metal that can withstand years of varying weather conditions and heavy foot traffic. Unlike star walks created in terrazzo, stone or softer metals, bronze will not crumble under heavy snowplows or stain when exposed to dirt or spills of any kind. Masterwork bronze sidewalk plaques are finished with a true chemical patina and three coats of a clear protective lacquer, which keep these metal recognition plaques looking handsome and bright for decades to come.
