This summer, the Frisco Arts and Culture Council (FACC) selected four Colorado-based artists to install two recreational pathway murals at the Frisco Adventure Park and one mural at Walter Byron Park on the exterior of the park’s restroom facility. Mural installations were completed in mid-August by John Droplitz, Chandler Condon, Hillary Williams and Susan Mattson. Community members are invited to view the murals by participating in Frisco’s Mural Scavenger Hunt and will receive a free sticker once completed.
Mural Scavenger Hunt
The FACC is encouraging the community to take a walk, run, or bike ride to explore the three new murals along Frisco’s recreational pathways. While exploring, take photos of six of the nine murals and show the photos to staff at the Frisco/Copper Visitor Information Center to receive a free sticker. A map of all the mural locations may be found by visiting the Frisco Copper/Visitor Information Center web page or may be picked up at the Frisco/Copper Visitor Information Center.
Three New Murals
Recreational Pathway Murals
Two murals were created on the multi-use recreational pathways at the Frisco Adventure Park.
Artist John Droplitz is known for blending visual art and music into immersive experiences. Droplitz creates murals, stage designs, and soundscapes that explore metaphysical themes. His Frisco mural features a bluebird, a reaching arm, arched portals, and flowing lines—symbols that invite viewers to form their own interpretations. The work’s layered imagery is meant to spark curiosity and reflection, offering a narrative that feels both mysterious and deeply personal.
Chandler Condon is an interdisciplinary artist and designer whose bold, playful style blends bright colors, psychedelic shapes, and imaginative storytelling. Her work often celebrates nature and community while exploring mystical and whimsical worlds. Her mural, Lifted in Light, is a vibrant scene where the sun rises over purple peaks as a calliope hummingbird takes flight. Symbolizing joy, resilience, and unexpected magic, the hummingbird embodies the spirit of wonder and discovery. Inspired by Frisco’s creative energy, the piece invites viewers to pause, delight in the details, and celebrate the community’s diverse beauty.
Walter Byron Mural
Hilary Williams and Susan Mattson are experienced muralists known for creating vibrant, site-specific public art that blends traditional and contemporary techniques. Their mural at Walter Byron Park features whimsical Western Tiger Salamanders, Colorado’s state amphibian, guiding viewers through a magical journey from land to water. With lanterns lighting the way, hidden “Easter Eggs,” and playful interactions with local flora and fauna, the mural celebrates the area’s natural beauty and encourages community engagement. The salamanders serve as symbols of adaptability, environmental stewardship, and discovery, inviting visitors to explore, reflect, and enjoy the enchantment of Frisco’s landscapes.
Project Goals
The Frisco Arts and Culture Council was founded to support local creatives and add to the growing public art scene in Frisco, as well as support Frisco’s goals around art and culture as expressed in the Frisco Arts and Culture Strategic Plan. The muralists’ designs inspired a sense of surprise and delight with artistic interpretations of the Frisco community’s culture and values and enhanced the built environment.
About the Frisco Arts and Culture Council
In January 2023, Frisco Town Council approved the Frisco Five-Year Arts and Culture Strategic Plan, which recommended the creation of a Frisco Arts and Culture Council (FACC). Subsequently, in early summer 2023, seven community members were appointed to the Frisco Arts and Culture Council. The FACC has taken on numerous projects, including a robust mural program, stipends for creative July 4th floats, and arts pop-up events around music and ice art. More information about the FACC may be found at ArtsFrisco.com.
