FRISCO, Texas – June 22, 2009 – Finding educational and engaging activities to keep children occupied during the summer months may seem like a daunting task – especially when most activities put a heavy burden on the family budget. For an activity that will inspire creativity and reinforce art education, visit The Hall Collection and Texas Sculpture Garden at Hall Office Park in Frisco, Texas. You don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to enjoy a leisurely stroll through manicured grounds filled with lakes, water features and dotted with breath-taking art – it’s free to the public!
The Hall Collection boasts more than 165 works of art created by artists from all over the world in building lobbies and throughout the grounds at Hall Office Park. Free walking tour maps of the collection are located inside 6801 Gaylord Parkway.
The collection includes Jaguar, an 85-foot-tall, bright red steel sculpture by internationally known sculptor John Henry. Visible from the Dallas North Tollway, Jaguar is the second tallest sculpture in the D/FW Metroplex. Only Walking to the Sky by Jonathon Borofsky, located at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, is taller.
The Hall Collection also features significant works of art including drawings, sketches, sculpture, paintings, glass and photography. From humorous to serious – whether outside, inside or (in the case of a giant gar chomping on a cabin) in the middle of a lake – each individual piece has been positioned and installed with the utmost of care, all surrounded by beautiful landscaping, water features and winding walking trails.
The Texas Sculpture Garden, comprised of 40 works of art, highlights some of the state’s most important living artists and was created to promote their work and encourage art education.
