PUBLIC ART PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Southlake is a premier community in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
Southlake is known for its high -quality school system, youth athletics, and destination

small-town charm has been preserved through careful planning.
The mission of the public art program is to create a better visual environment for
Southlake residents and visitors. The City of Southlake seeks to commission new
artworks for visually prominent locations in the community. The Municipal Service
Center is located on the south side of Southlake (location map available on page 6).
This new facility will host the City's Public Works Department (Water, Wastewater,
Streets & Drainage, Traffic, and Environmental Services), as well as host Facilities
Services, Utility Billing, and a Fire Department Safety Training Tower.
The Public Art Master Plan establishes the following goals for the artwork:
Promote unique community character by emphasizing urban design detail
Encourage features and amenities that create a unique sense of place
Emphasize creativity in the design of all development
