Chosen from a competitive pool of 113 applicants\, these artists will create temporary\, site–responsive installations that transform the Ann and Roy Butler Hike–and–Bike Trail into an open–air gallery\, inviting visitors to experience the Trail in new and unexpected ways. All nine works will be installed simultaneously in March 2026\, followed by a community–wide celebration later that month to welcome the art\, meet the artists\, and explore the Trail through a creative lens. The selected artists and their project formats include: Victoria Marquez – Mural\, Lamar BridgeSeth Prestwood – Mural\, Drake BridgeJamal Hussain – New Media\, Odom PavilionPriscilla Lustig & Steef Crombach  – Sculpture\, LakeshoreVy Ngo – Sculpture\, Auditorium ShoresTJ Lemanski – Sculpture\, Holly PointJuan Christian King – Sculpture\, Holly ShoresenFOLD Collective (Dana McKinney White & Megan Echols) – Sculpture\, Pfluger CircleJasna Boudard – Sculpture\, Seaholm area Now in its second year under TTC’s stewardship\, TEMPO is designed to support local artists by offering a highly visible\, real–world platform to experiment\, connect with new audiences\, and contribute to Austin’s evolving cultural landscape. The program blends creativity with accessibility\, placing original works directly into one of the city’s most beloved public spaces. “TEMPO on the Trail is about discovery for our artists and for our community\,” said Julie Fisher\, CEO of The Trail Conservancy. “The Trail is already a place people come to move\, reflect\, and connect. With TEMPO on the Trail\, it becomes a place of creative surprise\, storytelling\, and imagination. We’re thrilled to introduce this next group of artists and to continue building a Trail experience that blends nature\, culture\, and community in a way that feels uniquely Austin.” The TEMPO on the Trail program is made possible through TTC’s partnership with the City of Austin’s Art in Public Places program\, which integrates art into shared spaces across the city. “TEMPO gives artists the opportunity to think beyond traditional gallery walls and engage directly with the public\,” said Jaime Castillo\, AIPP Manager. “These installations invite curiosity\, interaction\, and conversation\, meeting people where they already are and making Austin’s vibrant culture more visible and more accessible to all.” Building on the success of the inaugural TEMPO on the Trail program\, the 2026 installations will carry that momentum forward with fresh forms\, materials\, and ideas. Each piece will be temporary and on view for 12 months. More details about the installations\, artist spotlights\, and the March community celebration will be announced soon.								\n				\n				\n				\n					\n        \n            \n                Learn More About TEMPO\n            \n        \n        				\n				\n				\n				\n									About TEMPOTEMPO is a public art program launched in 2017 by the City of Austin’s Art in Public Places.

Chosen from a competitive pool of 113 applicants\, these artists will create temporary\, site–responsive installations that transform the Ann and Roy Butler Hike–and–Bike Trail into an open–air gallery\, inviting visitors to experience the Trail in new and unexpected ways. All nine works will be installed simultaneously in March 2026\, followed by a community–wide celebration later that month to welcome the art\, meet the artists\, and explore the Trail through a creative lens. The selected artists and their project formats include: Victoria Marquez – Mural\, Lamar BridgeSeth Prestwood – Mural\, Drake BridgeJamal Hussain – New Media\, Odom PavilionPriscilla Lustig & Steef Crombach  – Sculpture\, LakeshoreVy Ngo – Sculpture\, Auditorium ShoresTJ Lemanski – Sculpture\, Holly PointJuan Christian King – Sculpture\, Holly ShoresenFOLD Collective (Dana McKinney White & Megan Echols) – Sculpture\, Pfluger CircleJasna Boudard – Sculpture\, Seaholm area Now in its second year under TTC’s stewardship\, TEMPO is designed to support local artists by offering a highly visible\, real–world platform to experiment\, connect with new audiences\, and contribute to Austin’s evolving cultural landscape. The program blends creativity with accessibility\, placing original works directly into one of the city’s most beloved public spaces. “TEMPO on the Trail is about discovery for our artists and for our community\,” said Julie Fisher\, CEO of The Trail Conservancy. “The Trail is already a place people come to move\, reflect\, and connect. With TEMPO on the Trail\, it becomes a place of creative surprise\, storytelling\, and imagination. We’re thrilled to introduce this next group of artists and to continue building a Trail experience that blends nature\, culture\, and community in a way that feels uniquely Austin.” The TEMPO on the Trail program is made possible through TTC’s partnership with the City of Austin’s Art in Public Places program\, which integrates art into shared spaces across the city. “TEMPO gives artists the opportunity to think beyond traditional gallery walls and engage directly with the public\,” said Jaime Castillo\, AIPP Manager. “These installations invite curiosity\, interaction\, and conversation\, meeting people where they already are and making Austin’s vibrant culture more visible and more accessible to all.” Building on the success of the inaugural TEMPO on the Trail program\, the 2026 installations will carry that momentum forward with fresh forms\, materials\, and ideas. Each piece will be temporary and on view for 12 months. More details about the installations\, artist spotlights\, and the March community celebration will be announced soon.								\n				\n				\n				\n					\n        \n            \n                Learn More About TEMPO\n            \n        \n        				\n				\n				\n				\n									About TEMPOTEMPO is a public art program launched in 2017 by the City of Austin’s Art in Public Places.
