The Star of Texas public art project, commissioned and overseen by the Arlington Museum of Art, was created in partnership with the City of Arlington to promote art and culture throughout the city. Twenty star sculptures, sturdy enough for a three-year exhibition timeframe, were installed across the city. Each star was designed by an artist or artists born and/or living in Texas. The project showcased the creativity, community, and culture throughout Arlington as reflected in its tagline, the “American Dream City.”
