KELLER (WBAP/KLIF)- The City of Keller plans to select up to six new pieces from Texas artists to install in the Old Town Area.
Sarah Hensley with the city said they select new sculptures every year and each artist selected will get $1,500 and one Best in Show winner shall be awarded an additional $500.
The Old Town Keller Rotating Sculpture Program will bring some fresh artwork to Old Town this summer.
“The vision for Old Town is for it to be an eclectic space and we think a variety of artwork really enhances that theme,” Hensley said. 
Hensley said all sculptures must be the original work of a Texas artist, family appropriate, pose no risk to public safety, be made of materials that can withstand the harsh Texas weather and require no maintenance once installed. “It has to fit on the concrete pads which is 5 by 5 feet and no taller than 12 feet and can’t be over 2,500 pounds,” she said.
Selected pieces will also be made available for sale to the public. The deadline to apply is March 22nd, applications are available at www.cityofkeller.com/publicarts. For more information, call 817-743-4000.
