The City of Southlake released a national call to artists in April of this year for Art to be placed in four roundabouts.
Thirty five artists responded, and at the May Arts Council meeting it was narrowed to seven.
The seven remaining artists were asked to provide specific concepts for the Roundabouts.

The Arts Council Artists selection subcommittee, along with Council members Zito, Morris and Muller reviewed the artist’s concepts and then made recommendation to the full Arts Council
of four artists.
The Arts Council recommended four artists to the City Council. City Council opted to take a closer review of the art and artists
Result of meeting with the Artists, City Council, and the Arts Council –artists were narrowed down to three
