Public Art

Known at "Percent for Art", this tool is already used by more than 350 cities, states and public agencies across the country. To see the incredible works of art throughout Frisco, visit the Public Art Collection site. From the towering obelisks to the large scale sculptures that mark the entrance into the city of Frisco, you will enjoy publicly displayed art that reflects both the modern and historical nature of Frisco. Enjoy these works on your driving art tour of Frisco.
