"The Star of Texas" project, officially unveiled by the Arlington Museum of Art as an exhibit back in November 2015, celebrates the city's brand, Arlington: The American Dream City, with each star positioned throughout Arlington's Cultural Arts District, Downtown area, the Entertainment District and many other places in the city.
You can find a video playlist on the City's YouTube channel, with all 20 artists sharing the inspiration for each star and their interpretation of what makes Arlington the American Dream City.
