Lewisville's set to get a whole lot brighter, and we're not just talking about the street lights. Blessing Hancock, an artist known for blending big metal structures with flashy tech, has been tapped to create a huge art piece for the new Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center, which will serve as the new hub for Lewisville's finest – the cops and fire chiefs, according to the City of Lewisville, Texas.

Out of an unprecedented 218 artists throwing their hats into the ring, Hancock won the hearts of the city's Arts Advisory Board. Known the world over for her sculptures that aren't just big, but are also about stories and community spirit, Hancock's latest gig in Lewisville promises to be no exception.

So, here's the lowdown on the project: This isn't just any sculpture – during the day, it's a steel canopy covered in text from the locals, and when the sun ducks out, it lights up like a Christmas tree, thanks to thousands of LEDs. This isn't just a pretty face for the new safety center. It's supposed to be like a big, artsy welcome mat for visitors, plus something for the people passing by to take shelter under.

Hancock, who's no stranger to getting folks involved in her art, has a plan up her sleeve to get words and phrases from the community to add to the sculpture. With in-person and online sessions on the horizon, this piece is gonna have a lot of Lewisville in it, the City of Lewisville, Texas notes.

Meanwhile, the Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center itself is still a work in progress, set to welcome its first responders by early 2025. It's going up at the corner of Main Street and Valley Parkway, ready to be the new digs for the police, fire department heads, and Fire Station #1.

Lewisville isn't just throwing art around for kicks. It's all part of this big master plan they've got - the Lewisville 2025 vision, which is all about making the city a place with character and good chat. This new piece by Hancock is meant to tick all those boxes.
