In September 2023, the City of Garland was proud to announce its new designation as an official cultural district. Garland is one of just two cities to receive this prestigious distinction from the Texas Commission on the Arts in 2023. (Just 54 designations have been awarded across the entire state.)
Our main destination will be the areas in/around downtown but please feel free to wander/photograph elsewhere for submitting to our slide show!
We’ll meet in the town square near the vertical sculptures

Equipment
Selection of lens to include a wide angle lens (especially for the mural painted by blind artist John Bramblitt (617 W State Street, formally unveiled April 6, 2024)! Hoping no cars will be in the parking lot it faces.
Possibly a tripod.
Comfortable walking shoes.
Might want to print the attached map showing art locations
