The abstract mural was commissioned by the Georgetown Arts and Culture Board as part of the expanding public art program that incorporates public art into the design of public spaces.

“Abstract painter Kevin Greer created bright orange and blue color-scapes for the Municipal Court transaction window. His artistry depicts the movement and energy within a day from sunrise to sunset and is intended to reflect the beauty and inspiration derived from the surrounding landscape.”  Ellen Greeney, Williamson County Sun

“El Arbol” (The Tree) by J. Muzacz

“El Arbol” (The Tree) by J. Muzacz, 2019

“El Arbol” (The Tree) by J. Muzacz is located in the lobby of the new City of Georgetown Municipal Court building.  The mosaic tile mural was commissioned by the Georgetown Arts and Culture Board as part of the expanding public art program that incorporates public art into the design of public spaces.

The El Árbol mosaic mural was inspired by a well-known vista from the Jim Hogg Campground at Lake Georgetown. The photographic reference was initially taken by Roger Engdahl as he and his wife camped there on a nationwide RV tour. After receiving permission to adapt his image for this mural, I digitally manipulated the landscape so that the pixels making up the image matched the 3/4 inch glass tiles you see in the mural and used that as reference while placing each square. The 50,000 unique glass pieces you see here represent the diversity of Georgetown and were sourced from suppliers all over the country – of Italian, Chinese and Mexican origin. The tiles were then hand-placed over a three-month period and installed using trade techniques.

“Robert Williamson” by Lucas Adams faces the Williamson Museum on Austin Avenue on the downtown Square and has been sponsored by the Williamson Museum.

Robert McAlpin Williamson (c. 1804-1859), better known as “Three-Legged Willie,” came to Texas from Georgia in 1826. He co-founded a newspaper and edited two others, practiced law, and was appointed a major in the Texas Rangers. Williamson fought in the Texian Army alongside San Houston, traveled early Texas as a circuit riding judge, served on the Texas Supreme Court, and was elected Senator for the new state of Texas. He believed that Texas Counties should be named for Texas heroes; our County is named for him. For more information about this fascinating figure and much more, visit the Williamson Museum at 716 S.
