An “Art Drop” event took place today in The CORE District, in which local artists donated original pieces of art to the City that were hidden in public places for residents and visitors to search for, find and keep. The event, which featured clues posted on The CORE District social media, is part of a national movement of cities hosting an Art Drop Day as a way to spotlight a city’s creative culture, “activate” public spaces with creativity, and strengthen connections between artists and community.
For this inaugural event, Richardson partnered with artists from the Richardson Civic Art Society and the City’s annual Traffic Signal Box Art Contest. Five pieces of art were hidden in total, one in each of The CORE neighborhoods (Lockwood, Heights, Downtown, Chinatown and Interurban).
