This is cute. The building has been demolished and the statue moved, so pull further into the parking lot to see it in the statue garden.

Along with the Guardian of the Arts, there are awesome art statues in courtyard.
[Donna and Bill Blum, 04/10/2019]This piece of artwork is part of an outdoor collection at Sunset mall. It's a time capsule that contains art from today, and will be opened in the future. I've always loved time capsules, watching them get opened.
Amarillo is truly a treasure trove of art, if you get a chance stop by and check out the art at Sunset Center.
