2022 Art On The Plaza Winner
We loved receiving so many wonderful art pieces this year as part of the annual Art on the Plaza competition. We unveiled and dedicated the winning art piece in October at The Catholic Foundation Plaza in the heart of the Dallas Arts District during a morning ceremony.
You can view Wings Of Joy in person any day of the week at 2216 Flora Street (SE corner of Flora and Pearl between the Cathedral and the Meyerson Symphony Center. Small versions of the previous winners are located on the sides of Wings Of Joy in The Catholic Foundation Plaza.
In late spring, we’ll invite artists once again to participate in this year’s Art on the Plaza competition.
