Tale Trail Mural Project

Keller Public Arts is excited to share our latest endeavor, the "Tale Trail Mural Project." The Keller Arts Board is working in conjunction with the Keller Library and Parks Department to create an outdoor trail with encased reading platforms that will house a story for young readers to follow and enjoy. The story will be changed quarterly to entice recurring visits. The conceptual plan for the trail came to be as a means to memorialize a for Library Director and active Keller resident, Lisa Harper Wood who passed away from Cancer.

To participate in this Call, applicants must be Texas resident artists, and complete the application through CaFe A copy of the call can be downloaded from the Public Arts Website, www.cityofkeller.com/publicarts. 

2021 Old Town Keller Rotating Sculpture Program

In 2017, the Keller Public Arts Board implemented a rotating public art program for outdoor sculptures in the newly updated Old Town Keller area. A $1,500 honorarium is available for each piece selected by the Board for the fifth year of the program. The City of Keller invested over $4 million in improvements for the Old Town location, including the construction of a linear pedestrian promenade, addition of outdoor seating and community areas and installation of 11 concrete sculpture pads. Old Town is home to an eclectic blend of restaurants and small businesses that attract a variety of visitors and provide great exposure for art in the area. For 2021, the Board will select 5 sculptures for a two-year exhibit beginning in June 2021.
