Explore Austin with Dougherty’s art map
Friday, May 8, 2020 by Tai Moses
The Dougherty Art Center’s Art Is Everywhere Map is one of the many creative initiatives that’s been inspired by the stay-at-home orders. Using this interactive map, you can enjoy public art from the safety and comfort of your own car or bicycle. As the map’s webpage says, “From hidden gems to public art installations, from sculptures to street art, this map has everything you need to enjoy the free art that exists all over Austin.” Use the art map to take a neighborhood walking tour or go on an art scavenger hunt. You can leave comments under the map or submit pins if you want to nominate a sculpture or mural to be included on the map. We love this idea. Now, will someone please bring back the drive-in movie theater?
