Arts & Culture

The five winners of the City’s fifth annual Traffic Signal Box Art Contest were recognized at Monday’s City Council meeting. Each received $200 ($100 from the City and $100 from the Richardson Rotary Club) and a certificate, and their artwork will be turned into vinyl wraps that will be installed on traffic signal boxes at key Richardson intersections. The art can also be viewed online and in the July issue of Richardson Today. The theme for this year’s contest was “Community.” 

Babies and toddlers ages six weeks to 18 months are invited to build motor skills and have some messy fun at the Library this summer—backup clothing, baby wipes and/or towels are recommended! Each child must be accompanied by at least one adult.

The showing of “The Princess and the Frog” tonight at Huffhines Park has been postponed due to wet conditions. A new date for the movie will be announced at a later date.  

The following events are coming up at the Eisemann Center.

The Richardson Community Band presents “That Good Ol’ Summertime,” an evening of inspiring music of vast variety, from the “Pokemon Red and Blue March,” to timeless folk songs such as “Shenandoah.” They’ll add a visit to the British Isles with “Three Ayres from Glouchester” and “Irish Washerwoman,” and even explore some classic rock from Chicago and Little Richard. You can always count on a Sousa March to top it off!
