The fifth iteration of projects for TEMPO, Austin’s Art in Public Places program featuring temporary outdoor artworks and installations by local artists, are now on view. Funded by Austin’s Hotel Occupancy Tax and administrated by the City of Austin’s Cultural Arts Division, TEMPO aims to make Austinites encounter artworks in unexpected places across the city.
