Appreciating Art Around Town

Do you ever look at something and say, when did that get there? I've never seen that before (laugh out loud). My grandmother has always said that I would notice the one purple flower on the hillside and yet I find myself constantly noticing new things I've never seen before. I am very appreciative of our little community in Visalia, especially downtown and I just wanted to show you a few things I've noticed when around town. Some are projects produced by kids and others from other art organizations and historical building structures, but I love the passion put into each one. This is why art and culture is so important to me. It means something different for everyone.
