Find Local Art in Allen

For those public art pieces that make for ‘gram worthy posts...
like the Sun Creature Series. Five large characters greet trailblazers along the half-mile paved trail loop outside Stephen G. Terrell Recreation Center. Each sculpture is a playfully stylized reinterpretation of a familiar Allen inhabitant: a butterfly, bird, coyote, snail and person. As you explore the trail to find these five larger-than-life creatures, you will encounter a story along the way. The Storybook Trail is a series of double-sided kiosks that, together, share a delightful picture book with interactive prompts and a features a new story each month!
Or head over to Watters Creek Village where public art is on display in every area of the 52-acre shopping and dining destination. From the “Bull on the Green” to the “Colts at Upper Pond” and the many murals you’ll find along the shops, there is a spot for every art-lover to enjoy here.
