Given that there are multiple possible locations available for artwork placement as determined on a rolling basis, the artist/artist team will be given the opportunity, to the extent possible, to partner on the location(s) that best fits their proposed interest and enables design with the specific location(s) in mind.
Our current Bus Stop Project art installations span from South Dallas/Fair Park to Downtown.
