Public art provides a unique way to appreciate the cultural fabric of the beautiful community in The Woodlands, Texas.
Throughout the community, outdoor sculptures provide a thought-provoking insight of the natural, forest-filled beauty of The Woodlands. These can be located throughout the community's villages and commercial centers.
Spotlight on the Arts Gallery is on the second floor of The Woodlands Mall. This curated collection contains selected works from The Woodlands Art League and the Conroe Art League. This collection also includes larger collaborative pieces from the Master Artist series. Fast Draw and Photography Contest winners' artworks are also featured in Spotlight on the Arts Gallery.
According to The Woodlands Arts Council, the Art Bench Project provides a way to promote art and creative economy in the community. In partnership with The Woodlands Township, 24 art benches have been commissioned and installed.
Take a nice stroll from Town Green Park to The Woodlands Mall and enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of these art benches designed by local, national and international artists.
Some of the benches are designed to be interactive, such as The Urban Conga bench, modeled after a xylophone, and the giant yellow Wind-O, a window-frame bench. These types of benches are functional and are intended to promote social interaction.
A map of the art benches can be found here on Woodlands Arts Council website.
According to The Woodlands Arts Council, its main goal is to seek new opportunities to form strong partnerships with organizations in order to enrich the cultural fabric of The Woodlands community.
