Texas Sculpture Garden, Frisco

While driving to college I took a different route yesterday and discovered this wonderful artistic space known as Texas Sculpture Garden. This is the private collection of businessman Craig Hall and he has had the open mind to let public enjoy this art free of cost. The open air exhibit features works of 41 prominent Texas artists and has been installed in and around a part of commercial district of Frisco, Hall Office Park. Of course the works of sculptors from across the world are installed all over the park. In total there are over 100 beautiful artworks.

This is reportedly the largest private collection of contemporary Texas sculpture and was created to benefit the Texas community and to honor local talent. One of the unique features of this park is that apart from office buildings the space features beautiful lawns, artificial lakes, fountains and more, all interspersed by walking trails. This kind of nature-friendly setting makes it a wonderful place to visit and the best thing is, it is free to walk around and enjoy. I shot numerous pictures of the space, here are some of them... will post more soon as I can sort them out.
