An awesome activity to do while visiting Wimberley, TX, is going to Bootiful Wimberley. Bootiful Wimberley, is a beautiful art gallery of colorful and unique boot sculptures scattered along separate trails. Each boot was individually painted and designed by fifty different artists specially made for the gallery. Something special that they got to do was have Wimberley school children join along in the fun of painting recycled cowboy boots for their 4th of July parade boat. The boots they created later became added to sponsored locations for others to see.
Bootiful Wimberley, begun in 2014 in efforts to bring in attention to the arts in Wimberley and intensify cultural tourism. Eventually, artists and sponsors tagged along and helped bring thirty-two boots to life, which were painted by incredible local artists. The famous boots were first presented to the public on September 13, 2014, in a “Barring our Boots” party, and then later started in sponsored locations. A year later, eighteen more boots were added, making it fifty boots in total. Talk about variety!
This is a fun and one of a kind activity to experience with either friends or family. When I went to Bootiful Wimberley, my family and I, met in Wimberley for the day, and we decided to have a scavenger hunt to see who could find the most boots out of everyone. It was amazing discovering all the different designs on the different boot sculptures.
I am in awe of the artist’s incredible talent and extraordinary designs.
When we started our tour of Bootiful Wimberley we were greeted by their very friendly and welcoming staff who helped us understand the history and the meaning of these unique sculptures.
This is a one of a kind experience that I truly recommend! So get out there and find some boots for yourself!
