For 2026-2027, 25 new sculptures are installed along Texas Avenue. They will be be on display for visitors to view until mid-March, 2027.
Celebrating our 5th season, these sculptures were chosen from an international juried art call and the 25 pieces are by artists from across the U.S. We are honored that they entrusted their beautiful works of art to the ACE District for one year.
The art is a mixture of figurative and abstract, all completed with amazing skill and details. We offer group and individual tours on request. This free art exhibit allows the public to assist artists and Baytonians by voting for the People's Choice. A ‘Best of Show” will be chosen by a panel of artists, teachers, and art curators. The winning artists will receive a monetary award. Artists can also benefit from any sales or leases of their sculptures. All the sculptures are for sale or lease!

In a few short months, we will be sending out a call for artists so that we can bring a fresh new exhibit to Baytown in April of 2025. If you would like to be a part of this program in any way, please contact us.
We hope that you will visit the Sculpture Trail, vote for your favorite and spread the word. We are here to stay!!
