Austin's Rhapsody Mosaic

Rhapsody, a mosaic by artist John Yancey, stands on Austin's East 11th Street. This colorful creation captures the spirit of the district that was once the heart of the city's jazz scene. You'll find the mosaic at the Dr. Charles E. Urdy Plaza at East 11th and Waller streets, just east of I-35.
