EXPLORE THE ART AT WATERWAY SQUARE

Kids can also enjoy a treasure hunt at Grandma's Purse, an expansive sculpture made of terrazzo and bronze cast in glass. It features a purse and its contents—scissors, crayons, a camera, toy cars, and more—scattered around the splash pad for kids to find. Under the Waterway Avenue bridge between Grandma’s Purse and the Goose’s Acre Pub is a large mosaic installation. The nine-panel display, At Water's Edge, features colorful nature collages inside the tunnel.
