I'm so glad I saw this on Yelp and found it in person. The name speaks for itself it's literally an…read morealley behind some buildings with beautiful art. They have plaques with the artists' art descriptions which I enjoyed I love that they added this even thought it's outside. They even have music playing in the alley. It was so beautiful. It's street parking or park in one of the building lots and walk. It's not a long walk at all but it's amazing art for sure. I love that they keep up with it and it's free. Love an outing to do for free. We were in the area so it was worth it- but if you're far I wouldn't drive just to see it. My husband and I had a good time.

Inspiration Alley is free and adjacent to local businesses. They keep this place clean with a couple of options for seating, including chairs shaped as a mask. I came on a sunny day and enjoyed the quiet and colorful atmosphere. There was another person there that I went, who was taking photos. They include a brief description of the artwork and the name of the artist which I enjoyed reading. I could imagine spending a couple of hours by yourself or with friends/family.

It is part of DFW's Art Program and is the work of Dennis Oppenheim, who made the piece in 2005. It is constructed of aluminum and reminds me a lot of Superman's lair, the Fortress of Solitude. The sculpture is 30 feet high and has an arched tunnel through the center with blue LED lighting overhead. Oppenheim was inspired by the natural form of crystals while creating this piece which depicts crystals of different sizes sprouting up at different angles. Travelers have been known to leave trinkets or foodstuffs in the dark recesses of the tunnel. Don't be surprised if you see half eaten candies, water bottles, rubber bands, paper airplanes, even small stuffed animals. The sculptures fabricators, Studio Six, performs regular scheduled inspections of Crystal Mountain and regular dustings mostly done from an aerial lift using a HEPA vacuum. I really like this sculpture it is one that demands your attention. You cannot miss it. Even though the Sculpture is open to the public. Its viewers are limited to ticketed passengers since it is located beyond the security check point. If you are in terminal D you ae sure to see it. But if you are at one of the other terminals, and have time, I recommend checking this spot out. Fun fact: Oppenheim has a similar piece in Cincinnati called Crystal Garden. It is made of colorful acrylic though and located outdoors.

As you walk through the path between the trees, you'll see a bridge and to the right there is a little cute bicycle on a stick. This little wind vane indicates the free bike tire air pump available. As you face the bridge, with the bike tire pump on your right, look immediately left and you'll see the opening of the rock path . As you stroll along, you'll see a wonderful, creative display of rock artwork! Also, some beautiful tributes to loved ones. There are also several benches to sit on. I loved the Betty White tribute. Was touched be several tributes to local loved ones. The path has a canopy of trees keeping it a cool place to walk during the hot summer days. Hope this posting inspires young and older artists to paint and bring more for all to see and enjoy!
This artwork is located behind the gate at AT&T Stadium, which is where the Dallas Cowboys play…read more Without a ticket, you're not going to get close enough to actually "see" the effect of the mirror. You can get a couple of acute angles through the gate but you're not getting within 100 yards. If there is a football event and you have tickets, you're all over it. Sky Mirror was created by Anish Kapoor, artist of Chicago's "The Bean" and he calls it a "non-object" which is a thing that is invisible despite its monumental size. It was unveiled in 2013 and weighs 23 tons. It cost $14 million. There is no free parking in the stadium lots. I asked two different parking lot attendants if I could just leave my car for ten minutes and both said no. I was directed to the nearby Walmart which is also not free parking but at least you can fake it for a short visit. [Review 16091 overall - 271 in Texas - 1596 of 2021.]

In a sense, public art is a form of modern hieroglyphics for present-day consumers. Have you ever wondered what's in the mind of the artist when you reflect upon these images? In this case, the message is pretty straightforward. Justin, Texas, like so many other areas in this vast wonderland of pastures, rolling hills, dry gulches, and rapid rivers -- finds it's roots in the advent of the American railroads.

There is parking nearby. There is no caption but I was able to find this artwork online. The online description reads, "Like his sculptures, Art Fairchild's creative process is dichotomous. He marries rigorous engineering ability with deep intuition. While Art loves the inherent nature of a material and the rules which govern it, he understands that the greatest moment of a rule is change. The same might be said for a place or a community: through thoughtful and ongoing change, a place remains relevant as it becomes more complex, beautiful and strong." It is a striking piece not just because of the regularity of the shapes and design but the color and the method in which it stands on one corner. I liked it. I'm a fan.

I recently heard of this place and decided to go check it out. The neighborhood has several…read moreentrances but the main one you can go in is through the north part thru . They do have police directing traffic and blocking the other streets so only residents can enter through those. I went around 8pm on a weekday and there were about 30 cars waiting to go in. I was surprise it only took me about 5-9 minutes to get into the neighborhood. Once inside you just follow the crow and enjoy, a lot of the streets have a could de sac and you can just follow along. The neighborhood is a big circle so when you are done you will exit where you first came out of. It took me about another 10 minutes to get through the first set of house because there were a group of little kids at the end of the first street passing out candy canes. They were the reason why it was taking a while to get into the place but after that I was constantly moving along looking at house. The whole thing did not take me more than 30 minutes and after that I was on my way back home. Its free and the house that are decorated are nice but a lot of them are also dark and don't participate (which is fine). But if I had to choose between this and Interlocken in Arlington, i choose arlington. Thats just my person opinion but either way come on out and enjoy some lights by yourself or with the squad.

(OK that's not necessarily true... population of about 11,500 isn't thaaaat small.. but it's definitely not big by any measure!) ~*~ I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a FAN of this municipality, but hey. (I lived here for a year & a half and that was too long!) Still, it's not BAD for what it is - TINY. It has a surprisingly large gay population, too, I noticed. (Some call it "Gayzle." LOL) All in all, cool, quaint feel... Not much to do but this makes all the little things that there ARE to do so important! - Recommend you open some cooler, hipper shops/hang outs/cafes, etc. Maybe even a non-cowboy bar? That'd rock! Ah Azle.. Yer A-OK. ;]
