HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, The creative spirit of Texas artists is strong, and |
|
|
nowhere is it more evident than in the city of Jewett, where the |
|
|
work of a number of notable sculptors is celebrated and admired by |
|
|
residents and visitors alike; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Leon County Art Trail program, which is |
|
|
sponsored by the Jewett Economic Development Corporation, matches |
|
|
sculptures with local business owners, who display the works |
|
|
outside their establishments for the public to enjoy; the program |
|
|
is also a competition, and each artist selected to participate |
|
|
receives a cash prize, with additional awards for first, second, |
|
|
and third place winners; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Now in its third year, the 2013 Art Trail features 27 |
|
|
sculptures in a variety of mediums along Main Street and in Eagle |
|
|
Scout Park, and these inventive works range from representational |
|
|
to abstract to whimsical; 50 more sculptures are displayed in a |
|
|
private gallery, while other works have been purchased by the city |
|
|
or by businesses for permanent display; with more than 90 |
|
|
sculptures in the city, there is one sculpture for every 13 |
|
|
residents of Jewett; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Texas is fortunate to be home to many talented |
|
|
artists, and the City of Jewett has demonstrated an admirable |
|
|
commitment to the cultural enrichment of its community through its |
|
|
sponsorship of the Leon County Art Trail; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby commemorate the third annual Leon County Art Trail and |
|
|
designate Jewett as the Sculpture Capital of Texas. |
