Another nice Bricktown project has been approved and on which work should start shortly if it hasn't already, but which is said will take about 23 months to complete, is the Oklahoma Centennial Mosaic Mural (BTW, OK was admitted as a state in 1907, so the centennial year is 2007):

Oklahoma Centennial Mosaic Mural
Project: Oklahoma City Community College and Professor Mary Ann Moore, (Mosaicist and Project Director) will design, produce and install an Oklahoma themed tile mural. The mural will be located at the Bricktown Canal Water Plaza which is at the northwest terminus of the canal system.
The mosaic mural will include Oklahoma natural landscapes and wildlife. These images will serve to educate the public regarding official state symbols and emblems from nature. The mural will total approximately 1,150 sq. ft of wall space and be comprised of handmade porcelain and Oklahoma clay tiles pieces. The tiles will first be adhered to mesh then installed on walls, grouted and sealed.

The source says that once the mosaic production is done, it will take 1 to 2 weeks to install.
