The City of Dripping Springs is set to twinkle with creativity as it unveils its Stars of Dripping Springs, a city-wide public art project featuring captivating star sculptures. The City will unveil the sculptures at a special event on December 4th called “Stroll the Stars.” Organized by the City of Dripping Springs, Destination Dripping Springs, Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce, and the Dripping Springs Art League, the Stars of Dripping Springs project is a vibrant public art project that invited local artists to share their talents to design artwork for six permanent 3D stars that will be placed on Mercer Street. The project was announced last spring. Local artists were invited to share their conceptions for a star. Six local artists were selected to design their creations within the following categories: Night Sky; Nature/Wildlife/Birding; Music/Film Friendly Community; General Dripping Springs; and Texas Culture/History. The City invites residents and visitors to a community celebration on Wednesday, December 4th from 4:00-5:30pm in downtown on Mercer Street. Visitors will have a chance to see each star as it is unveiled and hear the artist talk about their inspiration for the star. Here are the details of “Stroll the Stars”: ? Date: Wednesday, December 4 ? Time: 4:00-5:30pm ? Location: The Stroll begins at Mazama Coffee Company, located at 301 Mercer Street ? Activities: There will be brief introductions at 4:00pm with wine and snacks at Mazama Coffee Company. Then, visitors will stroll to each of the 6 stars as they are unveiled one at a time, giving each artist an opportunity to share her/his story behind their creation. While this is the unveiling of the first six stars along Mercer Street, the project will be ongoing. In the future, residents and visitors can look forward to discovering the creative star sculptures in unexpected places, from shopping areas to the City’s beautiful parks and more throughout the City and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. Each star will tell a unique story, reflecting themes tying into the night sky, Dripping Springs, and the beauty of the Hill Country. The Stars of Dripping Springs project is sponsored by H-E-B, Dripp’n Paint & Body, RBFCU, and Apogee Dripping Springs Micro Highschool. The Stroll the Stars is sponsored by Dripping Springs Elite Real Estate Professionals. The Stroll the Stars is being held in conjunction with the Dripping Springs Hometown Holidays, a community-wide "Hometown Holidays" campaign, a season-long celebration designed to bring the community together for the holidays.
