Artists announced for this year’s TEMPO on the Trail

Participating artists have been announced for this year’s TEMPO on the Trail, a public art initiative in which artists create short-term or time-based artworks at various locations along the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail. TEMPO aims to cultivate curiosity, spark imagination and encourage exploration of the vibrant city of Austin through temporary art installations. The selected artists and their media are:

• Adrian Landon Brooks – Drake Bridge Mural
• Chroma Collective – IH-35 Under Bridge Mural
• Raul Buitrago – Seaholm Amenities Pavilion Wheat Paper Mural
• Diego Miro-Rivera – International Shores Sculpture
• Johnny Walker – Auditorium Shores Sculpture
• Juliet Whitsett – Holly Lakefront Trail Sculpture
• Ani Bradberry – Seaholm Intake Interior Neon Art
• Darcie Book – Lakeshore Park sculpture

“We are thrilled to partner with The Trail Conservancy on the TEMPO on the Trail project, as it aligns with our mission to enhance the cultural vitality of Austin,” said Sylnovia Holt-Rabb, director of the Economic Development Department. Artists are encouraged to select locations that resonate with them and to design artworks that can be easily installed and uninstalled there, allowing for dynamic and ever-changing outdoor art experiences. Each artist will receive $25,000 to design, fabricate and install their temporary artwork. Installations will take place from March through June.
