Addison Art Walk - Part 1B

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart Stars TX #0552717

Last week, I blogged about the New Years Day art walk in Addison, around the Addison Circle area. The art installations I covered in that post were part of the carefully planned route that our docent suggested we see. However, there were a few additional stops not on the original plan that we passed. And here they are:

Well cover     Well cover - Bosque Park in Addison     

Tucked into a corner in Bosque Park, this well cover is inscribed with information on a freed slave who owned land nearby.  Keller Springs Road in the north of Addison is named for him.

Addison Mural

This mural, depicting scenes from Addison's past and present, is on the side of one of the (many) Amli apartment buildings, around the corner from the ravens sculpture we saw on the tour.

If you have an interest in art in any city, our guide recommended this app:

OtoCast App

It provides a map and well as audio about each installation wherever you may roam.

You don't need a guide. You can self-tour if you have an interest.  Enjoy!

...Marketing your home like no one else will.

My Mom's maiden name is Addison.  I'll have to take her to that park.

Art certainly makes things around us look much better!  I am thinking about having a mural done in my backyard, but the price to do so is a lot higher than I had hoped it would be, haha.

Brian England Is there a nearby art school? Perhaps you could get some student artists.

Anna "Banana" Kruchten I knew about most of them (in Part 1A), but a few were pleasant surprises, and I'd seen the mural but not the well cover (in Part 1B).
