The Marble Falls City Council on Tuesday, March 7, heard a proposal that could bring large permanent sculpture installations to town.
The council also considered a full agenda, but it was presentations from the creative community, medical sector and appraisal district which sparket the most interest.
She was introduced by Robert Moss, director of the Parks & Recreation Department, who expressed willingness to work with City Manager Mike Hodge on the project.
Carolyn Bates of the Highland Lakes Creative Arts (HLCRA) Board of Directors addressed the council to say that owners of Sculpture Ranch and Galleries south of Johnson City were selling the property.
“They are moving sculptures back the artists except for about 15 major works,” said Bates. “Basically, the artists want the work displayed. This could be part of making Marble Falls the arts destination for the State of Texas.
