About TEMPO on the Trail
Tempo on the Trail brings original public art to the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail – inviting discovery, reflection, and connection with the Trail’s landscape, history, and rhythms of daily life. The program celebrates the Trail as a link between people and place – connecting artists to its natural and cultural resources, and connecting neighbors, visitors, and tourists to the communities and ecosystems that shape it. In doing so, TEMPO on the Trail helps make Austin’s creative spirit more visible, more accessible, and more alive.
The year’s exhibition features nine local artists working across mural, sculpture, and new media. Spanning sites along the 10-mile Trail, their installations transform the corridor into a dynamic, open-air gallery.Â
TEMPO on the Trail is presented in partnership with Austin’s Arts, Culture, Entertainment, and Music Art in Public Places program.Â
