Texas Big Art Day
Texas Big Art Day, March 6, 2025, was celebrated at the Historical Park with a rock art installation in Mary’s Garden. Vibrant artwork was provided by CFBISD Fine Arts students from nine campuses:
Blair Elementary, Blanton Elementary, Davis Elementary, Kent Elementary, Riverchase Elementary, Sheffield Elementary, and Thompson Elementary
Ted Polk Middle School
Creekview High School
This project has been an ongoing partnership with CFBISD and the Historical Park for the last four years. Big Art Day is an effort by the Texas Art Education Association to engage all art educators, their students, and communities in single day art events across Texas.
Murals in Farmers Branch
In 2022, Farmers Branch City Council approved an ordinance that allows non-residential buildings and multi-family housing to have murals on their buildings. The City hopes to see businesses and other entities take advantage of this opportunity and add murals to their buildings.
Key points about the ordinance include:
- Allows painted graphics but not logos or other written references to a business.
- Easy application process.
- Allowed on multi-family and non-residential buildings, murals are not permitted on the primary façade of the structure.
- Murals must be maintained over time.
For detailed information, read the mural ordinance. Ordinance 3744
