Texas Sculpture Garden
“This is patronage in the tradition of the Medici. I believe the collection is a very worthy and important initiative; a most ambitious project.” Ted Pillsbury, Former Director Kimbell Art Museum and Partner, Pillsbury Peters Fine Art Officially opened to the public in September 2001, the Texas Sculpture Garden celebrates the work of 41 prominent Texas artists. Recognized as the largest private collection of contemporary Texas sculpture ever assembled and made available to the public, the Texas Sculpture Garden was created to benefit the Texas community by honoring the talent of homegrown artists and making their work accessible to everyone. Craig Hall’s vision for the Texas Sculpture Garden is a continuation of his commitment to the arts, to art education and to facilitating connections between artists and community. Working closely with curator Patricia B. Meadows, Hall carefully and personally selected 40 works now featured in this new and unique setting. Chosen as demonstrations of the excellence and diversity of both materials and styles from around the state, the Texas Sculpture Garden sculptures were produced by artists living in large cities such as Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, and small rural areas such as Sanger, Bolivar and Ovilla.
A variety of materials are represented in the Texas Sculpture Garden – metal, stone, wood, concrete, glass; a mixture of tones – serious, humorous, formal and casual; and a wide range of approaches – abstract, representational and conceptual. The artists also are a diverse group with varying ages and ethnicities and varying levels of recognition. The connecting thread is that they are all excellent, dedicated, hard working, professional, living Texas artists. Tour guides can be printed for a self-guided walking tour of the Texas Sculpture Garden. Hall Financial Group is clearly committed to supporting the artists whose works are featured at Hall Office Park. A dedicated web site, www.texassculpturegarden.org, and a 30-minute documentary, Dances on the Prairie, were commissioned and completed to increase awareness of the tremendous depth of talent alive and well in the Texas art community.
