Sculpture Garden Program

2015 to 2016 celebrates the Sculpture Garden Program’s fifth temporary one-year exhibition. The City Council’s directive to initiate the Sculpture Garden Program has brought art into the community’s daily life. The City’s vision for the Sculpture Garden is to enhance the community setting by displaying a variety of inspiring artworks. The sculptures will attract viewers and invite dialogue while offering an opportunity to gain understanding and awareness of the visual arts through open access and educational material.
The Cultural Arts Commission serves as an advisory committee and implements programs approved by City Council. The Commission is an advocate of the power art has in creating opportunities for Cultural tourism, economic development, and image building. Cultural and artistic resources enhance the quality of life for individuals living in, working in, and visiting the city.
The Sculpture Garden Program is supported by the City’s Public Art Trust Fund. The Trust Fund is funded by a 1% development fee and does not impact the general fund.
