Moontree
by
Michelle O'Michael

Michelle O’Michael’s contemporary steel sculpture, Moontree, is in Indian Springs Park along the banks of the Brazos River.

Longhorn Skull
by
Joe Barrington

Artist Joe Barrrington of Throckmorton, Texas is best known for his expertly engineered kinetic sculpture. Mr. Barrington has received many commissions for public art projects: most recently, the Lake Ray Hubbard Transit Station for DART in Dallas; the Mesa Natural History Museum in Mesa, Arizona; and the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His work is included in private and public collections including the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the Old Jail Art Center in Albany, Texas.

Noah
by Art Schirer

Mr. Shirer's work and expertise are sought by curators and collectors alike. Noah is a playful metal kinetic sculpture. Metal legs grow upwards from the ground supporting a flowered mobile perched with wireframe cradle. Mr. Shirer's extensive exhibition record includes galleries and invitational shows throughout Texas as well as Louisiana, North Carolina, and Arkansas.

Windswept
by Ben Woitena

The largest piece of artwork, entitled Windswept, is a twenty foot long red steel sculpture by contemporary Houston sculptor, Ben Woitena. Delicately posed at the corner of Franklin and First streets, the sculpture is an exciting accent to the park landscape. Mr. Woitena’s sculpture is included in renowned art collections such as the Trammell Crow Company, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston.

Waco Cultural Arts Fest is currently raising funds to keep three works from the 2005- 2006 exhibition in Waco. Please help bring art to public places. To make a donation contact Doreen Ravenscroft 254-772-7637
