Highland Arts Council commissioned Brian Willis to carve a tree scheduled to be cut down into a tribute to the arts. It is the second sculpture featured in the iconic Square in the center of Highland. We invite you to come to Highland to view its art throughout the city.
The Highland Arts Council presents a community art project for all to participate for no charge. Each pole was labeled with a statement about the arts which people could relate to.
I love to sing.
I love to dance.
I support the arts.
I create with my hands.
I'm an actor.
I love to create.
Together, the Street Art attendees created a work of art using string to wrap around each pole. Join us to put your string in the mix in 2018.
The streets of Highland become a canvas for talented artists during this one-of-a-kind festival! Carrying on a tradition started centuries ago, the Annual Street Art Festival will turn the streets of downtown Highland into a temporary art gallery. Curious about Street Art?
The great tradition of street painting began in Italy in the 16th century. A crowd would gather whenever a traveling artist began transforming the pavement into a colorful work of art. Although the masterpiece only lasted until the next rain, the tradition of street painting has endured, and we invite you to be part of this timeless experience!
