Purple Cup Secret Art Trail
Koi Mural by Dustin Timbrook & Redbrick Strategies
Is the Secret Art really a Secret? Nope!
“Secret Art” is publicly viewable art that is not located on the front of buildings, encouraging you to explore public alleys and other places where you might not typically venture or expect art to be found.
So grab a drink to go from a local restaurant or bar (served in a purple cup) and a take a stroll around the Arts & Entertainment district to discover the “secret art” that brings downtown Huntsville to life!

Valles Marineris by Drop Metal artist Micah Gregg
One of four sculptures in the Beyond Neptune series. More of Micah Gregg’s work can be seen throughout Huntsville, including his Smoke Signals sculpture on the SPACES Sculpture Trail.
Frog Door by Susie Garrett
The Frog Door is one of three hidden doors around #downtownhsv. Susie’s door plays off the building’s architecture – including Frog Gargoyles along the top of the building (hint, hint).
Tunneling to Callysto by Drop Metal artist Micah Gregg
One of four sculptures in the Beyond Neptune series in #downtownshv.

Space Door by Jessie Andrews (aka. Honey Blood Art)

Gathering by Robert Bean
Gathering was Robert Bean’s first mural in downtown Huntsville. This black and white mural depicts a lively nightlife from a different era. It’s a perfect complement to the live music Humphrey’s often hosts on their back patio.

Catalyst by Robert Bean
Catalyst is one of the newest Murals to the Huntsville public art scene. It was commissioned by Google Fiber in Spring 2018 as part of their #CreatedWithGoogleFiber public art campaign. Catalyst features nods to what makes our city unique as well as invites the viewer to become a piece of the art itself with perfectly instagram-able interactive elements!
Featuring the artwork of Christina Wegman, Ann Van, Katie LaRocca, Kate Rosetta, and Serpouhie Wegman
Dragon Stained Glass by Steve Ware
Probably the oldest piece on the tour, Steve Ware created the Dragon as “good luck charm” for the Kaffeeklatsch in 1978! Steve also took part in the creation of the Cosmic Christ mosaic at First Baptist Church (lovingly known as “Eggbeater Jesus”) and designed the Community Mosaic created by festivalgoers at the 2018 Panoply Arts Festival
