We are happy to announce that our artwork has finally been installed at the Riverside Park Brio Station at 7600 Alameda Avenue at Vocational Drive and to be a part of the Alameda/Brio art project.
The iconography of Alameda Avenue is a rich, colorful, quirky, amalgam of style, taste, and ex*****on that presents the viewer with a visual parade of the cultural fiber that makes up this stretch of old Texas Highway 20. Once, this road greeted motoring visitors from the east and west and introduced them to our border community.
Some vestiges of the Alameda Avenue’s heyday still survive. Bright colors, rich textures, and a uniquely Alameda Avenue sense of style and design abound this stretch of roadway. Our intention was to highlight these familiar elements that have for many years been the essence of Alameda Avenue, but now, maybe getting lost amidst mounting visual competition. Our panels will be reminders of the vibrancy of this neighborhood as it is now and as it once was.
Sadly, some of the elements in our art are no longer there.
