The LIST WALL PROJECT is a grassroots-driven conceptual art installation that invites the public to aspire by submitting anonymous, handwritten lists of their goals.

Originating in Kansas City in 2009, this project has been touring nationally since February of 2010. As the List Wall moves from city to city, the public at each new venue may add their own lists by tacking them to the wall.

Now a dense wall of layers and layers, the lists come in from all walks of life: business owners and employees, news reporters and government officials, students and scientists. Statistics repeatedly show that by just writing something down we are more likely to accomplish it. So what do people want to do? Everything from "pay off parking tickets" to "start a family charitable foundation". From "stop biting my nails" to "live in the inner city". From "download better music" to "die on my own terms".

Growing like a snowball, the List Wall links community to community. It offers a very human glimpse of what is on the hearts and minds of our communities right now. What do we have in common? How are we different? As it travels through place, it also travels through time (each list is stamped with a code for location and date). What do people want in 2010? What do people want in 2013? Encouraging us to commit to our aspirations by writing them down, the List Wall offers a place to contemplate what is next.

What is on your list?
