Keep Midland Beautiful (KMB) is inviting the public to view the "Girl with Balloons" sculpture located at Wall Street and Front Street.
According to a February 11 Facebook post from KMB, the nonprofit organization hired Reno, Nevada-based artist Peter Hazel to create the sculpture, which was installed in June 2023. The Bryant Family Foundation, Arts Council of Midland, and KMB contributed funding for the project. Additionally, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) assisted with this project.
"We are still so thankful for all that was part of her journey in becoming a compelling piece of art that magically depicts our area and the brilliant, creative people who live and work here," KMB said in the post.
KMB recommends viewing the sculpture at night since "there are lights that illuminate her structure and presence."
