David Adickes Memorial Walk ~6.5 Miles

Details

This walk is to celebrate the life of noted Houston sculpture David Adickes. Perhaps best known for creating the 67 foot tall statue of Sam Houston in Huntsville and the busts of Presidents we have seen many times at "Mount Rush Hour". His studio and a few notable sculptors are in the downtown area. Alas, we will have to visit Rush Hour another time.

For this walk we will see the studio, The Beatles statues at 8th wonder, the "We Love Houston" sculpture and The Virtuoso at Lyric Center.
