The Woodlands Art & Sculpture Tours Tony Motto - SculpTours
Sculp-Tour Tickets Visitors and residents alike to The Woodlands are greeted by a massive statue known as "The Family" by Charles Pebworth. The sculpture, located at I-45 and Woodlands Parkway, at 40' tall, 15' wide, and 15' deep, it is the largest sculpture in The Woodlands. Installed in 1974, it was the first of what is now 52 different sculptures in The Woodlands. Many people don't realize The Woodlands is home to the 'largest outdoor sculpture collection in Texas.' Tony Motto is your SculpTours guide, a metal fabrication specialist and the founder and creator of Sculp-Tours in The Woodlands.
	There is an extensive amount of artwork in The Woodlands, but there wasn't a collection or any documentation available until he published his hardbound, coffee-table book entitled The Woodlands Outdoor Sculptures in 2009. Tony has interviewed many of the artists so his tours are full of interesting and fun facts about the sculptures. Tony is easily the most well versed in the outdoor sculptures of The Woodlands. Through his newly-created Support Woodlands Art Foundation, Tony's vision of creating identification plaques, and repainting the various sculptures is coming to life. Sculp Tours is a labor of love for Tony Motto and he wants to share this unique asset with everyone.
	Tony spent many years as a certified welder before entering the University of Nebraska at Lincoln to acquire a degree in Art Education. Upon graduating with honors in 1990, Tony began his teaching career at David Elementary for the Conroe Independent School District. After seven award winning years, he went on to excel in corporate marketing. During the last ten years as an entrepreneur, Tony has embarked in several successful business endeavors.
