"The 'Path of Stars,' competed in 1994, is the brainchild of Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, a graphic designer and public artist teaching at Yale since 1990, where she became the first tenured woman professor in the art school. She won a $25,000 competition with the intention of memorializing the 'residents and landlords, merchants and laborers, managers and employees' who have made a vibrant neighborhood for centuries."
